Re: Watagans day trip on - Sun Nov 23

the decision has been made to get up the hard but fun track.
we'll have 3 120's with winches, and 2 standard trucks, so i'm
sure that all winches will be used and abused getting through the track,
not to mention the depth of the 7 water/creek crossings,
and the log creek crossing before we have to climb up.
this trip is going to be a heap of fun, so i'm sure we'll have some good pics
or footage once we return. :mrgreen:
we'll also check out the loop for the watagans overnighter.
to the other 4 coming, bring your recovery gear and some bags to put the dirty gear away in.

bring on sunday

Sounds like a top sorty Damo, looks like a couple of changes of clothes wouldn't go astray either. :lol:

Re: Watagans day trip on - Sun Nov 23

i have on my mind the same thought.
the water will be deep with all this rain we have had,
but hoping for little to no rain for the next 48hrs.
most if not all, should be slow flow

Any of you got a decent chainsaw? With all this wind today I expect there will be some felled trees to clear.

A little concerning isn't it Matt, I watched some of the storms go through where the guys were so I hope they are not cut off from getting back.
