G'day GLRO-ians,

Just finished the reccee for the Beerwah trip. Mick and Craig had joined me for this trip and we have found some really good stuff to put you and your LR's the the test.

On this note, DIFF LOCKS ARE MANDATORY!! Rear only is minimum.

Some fo the sections that would of been fine last time (about a year ago since I was in there) without are diff lock only now. Huge ruts and plenty of cross-axle type terrain is part and parcel of this trip so be prepared as well as some mud for good measure. With 3 vehicles we completed the run by 12:30 PM and started at BP Cabooulture at about 8:45AM so 10 vehicles this will take some more time but should finish about 2-3pm as a guess but like most trips, recoveries are expected and take time.

This is a Red (with occasional G4 Orange) rated trip so you get the idea :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

See you all at the BP Caboolture at 8:30-9:00AM on the 21st October.

No panel damage from the trip just plane good GCLRO stunt driving.
Trav was the only one to break a side mirror. I didn't attempt that section.

Unfortunately I will not be able to make the weekend due to financial commitments.
Have a great time and I will wait for the trip report and pics.

Great pics Craig, quality not too bad for a camera phone.

NOZ, damage will happen if you are not careful. I busted my mirror because of a bad option and Mick went through unscathed. Will have another go on the trip.

We also had a bit of a look around but that's it as far as real 4WDing goes, as expected (I have been to Beerwah a dozen times and haven't found anyththing bar this section that is challenging).
