OK .... the only day I can make it is Saturday.

I'm now working on Sunday and so is my Navi
Bek's back is still a mess and it looks like around 6 months of recovery ... so I'm having to use my backup Navi :?

As for a list of things to bring ............

:arrow: food and drinks for a day out
:arrow: a couple of folding chairs
:arrow: sunscreen and a hat
:arrow: water
:arrow: tyre deflator/s and an air compressor
:arrow: a snatch strap (minimum)
:arrow: fitted rated recovery points
:arrow: tow hitch recovery point
:arrow: communications - bring a handheld if you don't have one fitted (some of us have spares that you can borrow)

Be prepared to .....

:arrow: ask if you are not sure
:arrow: try some things you may not have tried before
:arrow: (important) Say NO if you are not comfortable with something - we will go around
:arrow: buff out a couple of light scratches :roll:

Count us in. Thinking of going down Esperance way 20/21/22 Nov. Have a look at NP to east of there (Cape Arid). Might be lazy though and stay in Motel at Esperence, but if others are interested in camping might convince Lilly to give it a go.

Re: WA - It's getting warmer!!!

It depends on how much driving you want to do and how much time / space you want for a social GTG and kid's play.

I'm dying to get down and check out Staples Line (heading back into Harvey from Collie) and see what winter has done to what can be a pretty hard core track.

There's always the Dwellingup forrest - for something interesting but a little less challenging.

Then there's 40 odd k's of beach between White Hills and Myalup.

For northerners there's Lancelin or Wilbinga ...... or a trip up to the Mundaring Powerlines.


I've got OziExplorer track logs for them all and some pics and trip notes from previous trips if you want to see what you're getting into.

Otherwise pick up a copy of "4WD day trip out of Perth". There's 14 great trips in there with all the notes you'll need.



So ... NORTH, SOUTH or EAST (there's not a lot of 4WD'ing to be had if we head WEST :lol: ) ?

....... SAND, ROCK or a combination of both ?

....... HARD, SOFT or in between ?

....... more DRIVING .... or more SOCIAL and KID time ?


More than happy to CHIP in and help setup a trip ...... just let me know what the group wants

I don't think the Grandcraps would handle that Would be nice to try the lift though. Pam and I have heaps on between now and Christmas so we are only tentative for anything.
