[damonat Advanced Member Find all posts View Profile Close damonat]

3looking to do a recci trip to finalise the upcoming trip.
this will be a day trip on a sunday, november 23.
just need another vehicle, as some tracks are safer with a 2nd vehicle.
unfortunately Ninpo (tristan) had an incident with his vehicle and house,
and can't help out on this one.

is anyone interested?
just need to check 2, maybe 3 tracks.
these will cover most of the day due to their length (tracks).

Grade 3=B Moderate 4WD Trip some recovery/winching/water crossings. Good level of 4WD skills and experience required.

Hi Damonat,
Thanks Samo for this thread link. If its good with everyone I would be thrilled to come. Just to make sure, the servo is the Caltex near the Freeway on gateway Blvd next to the Mitre 10 Hardware and Across from the John Deer tractors - amazing what Google street View can do...
Thanks again See you there

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
