Noah's Ark trip to Matlock

[Nema Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Nema]

Last second decision to go for a drive to Mt Matlock as I wont have time to go anywhere over the long weekend. So the plan was to drive some of the tracks that we might use on the snow trip but in general just have a bit of fun and see whats been graded and still a challenge.

So forecast was for rain and just to make sure if we needed Noah and his ark we took 2 of every vehicle.

2 90 series
2 120 series
2 150 series
2 Patrols that are showing us around.

The 2 Patrols lead the way and were basically our trip leaders for the day thanks to my little brother.

Photos to come.

It was a bit of fun Ben. Just hope we get some snow. We have not put a date on it yet cause we would like to see some snow on the ground first.

Keep you in the loop.

Great pictures and a good day out. It will be fun to see them under snow.

I have put up a video of the day here http://youtu.be/PN-G78xo4ec with lots of slipping and sliding up the hill.

Great trip report guys. Looks like a fun day out in the wet. You are all making me seriously jealous though lately with all of the pictures and videos you are posting of the great trips available to you.
I think I need to move to Victoria.

Cheers Matt

Yes I think you won the prize for the best sideways action. There wasn't to much distance between the 120 and the bank there a couple of times. Mick's run was almost as entertaining but I think you just pipped him going the most sideways up the hill. I think Pete and I are missing out on a heap of fun compared to you guys.
