View Full Version : Coffs trip november 2014
long stroke
11th November 2014, 10:02 PM
Thought I better do a bit of a report on the weekend just passed, all in all I had a great weekend without any damage (that I can see:angel:)
It was great to catch up with Keith and Josh, and with very few cars on the trip we got plenty of tracks in, unfortunately I couldn't camp out at Glenreagh this time though:(
We decided to head out on a night run Friday night for a bit of fun, the tracks were a bit damp but the weather was awesome, after completing a few fun hills we decided to call it around 9:30-10:00 so we weren't tired for the rest of the weekend.
On Saturday a mate came out with us in his little Suzuki sierra for a run, the first few tracks were still a bit damp so there was a bit of winching at times throughout the day but that's all part of the fun:cool:
Sunday we headed out for the morning and completed carnage creek in about 1.5-2hrs which is pretty good considering the condition of the long exit up out of the creek run.
I have heaps of pictures just got to find out why they won't load onto my computer from my phone:twisted:
Thanks for coming down Keith and Josh, always willing to show you guy's around:)

Thanks for that report Tim, good to hear the fender survived this time :D
Shame many of us were unable to make it. Now hopefully someone got lots of photos!!!

Tim - thanks for the personal tour of the Coffs tracks - ha ha to the rest you missed a great set of night and day runs with limited waiting as only 2-3 trucks!
But we did miss you all!
Grimace - We got a bit of GoPro footage. I accidentally left my SLR camera on the floor of my office so only a few phone pics. Josh and I are yet to merge the Go Pro footage - both flat out since back.
There was however some breakage - will post some pics later tonight

Had some new shoes and rear wheel arch/gaurds fitted - only lasted half a day!

Some tracks had a slight wet surface - made it a little harder to get up.
