Hi all
Just floating a shorter day trip for this coming Saturday 19th January.
I reckon meet in Pinjarra at 9.00 am (9.15 departure) and head up to Dwellingup. I would like to have a quick punt around the Nanga 4WD Heritage Circuit (Trip No:3) in the morning, stop for lunch at Nanga Campsite (the same place we stopped for our 15 car trip), then pick up Trip No:14 and follow the Murray River Fire Line around the back of Lane Pool Reserve and down to Yarloop.
This trip involves some formed gravel roads, forrestry trails, fire line trails and great scenery down by the Murray River .... some ruts and corrugations .. but no extreme sections. Some sections are through tree lined tunnels and you will get the odd sap line on the paintwork.
There's a few thoughts behind this .... (yeah, go on ... fall over laughing .... but there is some thought goes into these trips :lol: :lol: :lol: )
1. A little bit tamer than last weekend ... out of consideration for standard suspension .... and that I haven't got my tyres sorted yet
ops:
2. It involves a section that we've done before (in the wet) and I want to check it out in the dry.
3. I want to explore some more camp sites
4. I'm also filling in the gaps in my maps and building a series of tracks between Collie and Armadale .... for future runs
5. I flipped weekends to match up with work schedules (MUMSRIG
) so that we might also get to meet a few more WA 'Pointers
and 6. (and this is the cool one) ... I'm looking at a series of tamer tracks ... that we been over and GPS plotted during the day ... for a night run ... perhaps even over a weekender :lol:
Not fussed if there's no interest, I know its been a busy month, but I'm still on holidays ... so I'm going anyway :P :lol: :lol:
It would be nice to have a GPS along (hey Sharkbait / GPS Boy :lol: ) so we can add this to the plot.
Anyone interested ?? ... and I'll post a bit more detail.
Cheers
