    I was under the impression that the Ormeau was all locked and a no area....... has that changed or is this in a different area
    Hi Macca

    There are some public road sections that are 4WD, a lot of the older sections have been closed off with boulders by the quarries, but they are open at the other end. We haven't done a lot of these but I have been assured that they are quite hard core, tod od theracks we did would take around 5 hours so there is still a day out in there.

    See ya on the tracks, Richo.

                Nice one Leon, who was the chipmunk on the radio!!!!
                Stewy noticed u were taking all the soft options! Unlike Fozzy out there having some wheel lifting.

                  Snaga, I don't recall taking a boring or different line as the caption in the vid suggests.
                  Just cause the 120 didn't lift a wheel, I can't help it that it flexed more than Richo's. LOL
                  Looking forward to another trip out there. Well done on the vid.

                      I was going to change it to 'sensible' line but it was already uploading... so boring it stayed

                        So whats the name of the road that use to access this area? I've only been down there once and the section that I came across was closed.... Would like to have a look at this area sometime.......

                        A very large portion of the original play areas now have gates or giant boulders preventing ingress. The track we ran was the "public" road that runs through the region, which is still a lot of fun.

                        Cheers,

                          Hi Macca

                          Yo can start at Vennor Rd Ormeau, at the water tower is where we usually meet. This way you do the uphill on the rocky section to start the day and get the adrenalin flowing. There is also a dead end track that has a very technical section that heads west before the first deep hole that is fun. If you are going put up a post and I'm sure you'll get plenty of takers, me included especially if I have my winch.

                          See ya on the tracks, Richo.
