Walhalla

[Lee Jackson]

I did a few tracks around Walhalla on the weekend ..... scary stuff. I had a message that said traction reduced or similar as i was 2/3rds up this big arse hill. No way to go backwards without rolling. So I was kinda ****ting myself. After 3rd attempt at Hail Mary.... I hit low traction launch and it got my moving again.. I had the car pretty much in low range all day so car was definitely getting a work out and so was I.

Nice, you can run a trip there next time.

There are certainly some interesting tracks up there. I remember going up Deep Creek 3 or 4 double locked with tyres slipping on a dry day. My friend got stuck 2/3 up the hill (with a Patrol) and we had to winch 25m [biggrin].

Yes its really scary stuff. When i turned one corner and saw this hill. I thought WTF how the jesus am i suppose to get up there. My biggest fear is getting stuck half way up with no Winch.

I got stuck on the Very Very Steep Section of Trig Track. Just for fun do a youtube on Trig Track Walhalla. Its an interesting track that zig zags up then you hit this mother of a steep section.

I googled it. That looks like an interesting track Lee, the hairpin bends are interesting too with the D5 having a much larger turning circle than the D4. But if a Subaru Forester can do this it shouldn't give you too much trouble :)

Hi Ron,

Apparantly the zig zag part of the track was designed to be reversed up. This is why there is a bit more of a run off on each section. They say if you forward, reverse, forward, reverse on the last section you are driving forward again. I or the guys i went with never tried that part. I only found out later on about this section of the track.

It was deemed too steep so they graded it into a zig zag pattern.

High Country never disappoints. Such a pretty and interesting place.

Looks like a great trip Lee. Thanks for sharing.
