    NSW: Sunday December 5: Colo Hts area

    OK guys we will have a day out at our usual powerlines track off the Putty rd. This is an easy/medium grade trip, plenty of help & advice available for those with limited four wheel driving experience :wink:

    The usual trip disclaimer applies but I cannot find the link :shock: Anyway.........

    Meeting at: McDonalds at Richmond, corner of March & Market Sts. at 9am. We will depart at 9:15am from there we will get onto the Putty Rd & head north, we may meet up with Travis & Ainslee at Colo Hts. if they decide to come along. Finish time is flexible.

    Bring: Prado, morning tea, lunch, camera, sense of adventure!

    UHF channel 16 I have spare handheld radios if you do not have one.

        yes, thanks Glenn.

        I would love to borrow your spare handheld radio one, it will not be only easier for us in that day, but also I want to show what it can work to my missus. She is claiming of the UHF project that I intend to install for my rig. :twisted:

              Looks like we might be in for some showers tomorrow, won't stop me though

              If anyone chooses not to come along please let me know.

              Don't forget to have a full tank of fuel for the trip, there is a Caltex opposite Richmond macca's if required.

                              Trip Report

                              Another great day out with some of the Pradopoint members Weather today was overcast , warm & humid with a little rain towards the end of the day. Tracks where very wet but we all got through except for one winch recovery being required.

                              Start of the track, time to air down



                              Stopped here for morning tea after scaring away the local kangaroos



                              We then continued along the tracks





















                              We had to take a detour from the track due to a large fallen tree. Unfortunately the detour proved to be very boggy & Fungi2003 became stuck. After a failed snatch recovery we used the winch to extract his vehicle (see video also)



                              After some more driving we headed back to the main road & aired up



                              Heading back down the Putty Rd we stopped to view the flooded Colo River, haven't seen it like this for many years









                              Thanks to everyone for coming along today especially those who travelled long distances. Certainly was a good turn out despite the short notice

                              Cheers, Glenn
