Thread: D3/4/RRS 7th - 8th Sept Off Road Trip Update

Well we have our first confirmed Range Rover Sport for the September Lithgow trip.

On top of that its Black Betty the RRS that has featured many times in 4WD Misadventures. The owner who goes under the forum name of Jimmy Salsa is considering making this trip into the next 4WD Misadventure feature.

James (Jimmy Salsa) has asked that those going on the trip and would like to have the opportunity of being in the feature agree to certain conditions. He has put these forward in a post that is in the D3/4/RRS trips section.

I invite everyone involved in the trip to have a read of what James has had to say and either comment or pm me if they would prefer not to be in the feature. It is not a problem at all if people don't want to be in the 4WD Misadventure feature.

I went and checked out Lake Lyell Recreation Park today, I have put up a number of pics of the camp site I have booked for the weekend.

Please click on the link and have a read of the info I have found out along with a number of pictures of the area I have booked. Providing people's tents aren't huge there should be plenty of room or everyone.

As mentioned previously one of the important things to have on this trip is a UHF radio so as to be able to communicate back and fort with the others in your group.

For those of you who don't have one please let me know ASAP as I have a limited number of hand held 5w radio's that I can bring along.

Hi Terry - I have a few low power handhelds if we run short.

Sounds good Rob thanks.

This coming Saturday DiscoWeb, Jonesy63 and I will be doing a recce up at the various tracks around Lithgow to sort out a schedule for the D3/D4/RRS Off Road Trip on the weekend of the 7th - 8th September.

As of this afternoon there are 22 D3/4/RRS vehicles coming to the Sept weekend trip. The latest to confirm are Eddomak and today SWH.

I would ask those who are confirmed for the trip and who are planning on camping at the Lake Lyell Camp Ground to book their spot soon.

Below is an update cut and pasted from the post in the Trips Section. I would ask everyone going to have a read and get back to me by pm or cut and past the list yourself and update your own details and what group you want to be in thanks.

Updated please read

For those who have not done much off roading I am hoping that we can organise a session each day that will go over the finer points of how to make the most of the D3/4/RRS's Terrain Response system.

Given the number of members who have said they are coming we will more than likely need to run at least two groups each day otherwise it could take a very long time to get through some of the more challenging sections. The idea at this stage will be will to head off together each morning do a couple of sections then split up into the two groups.

The other reason for two groups is there will be some who may prefer not to do the most challenging tracks, while some others will prefer to o mainly the harder tracks.

So we can get this organised can everyone please nominate which group they would like to be in to start off with. Changing between groups won't be a problem. As has been said previously no one should feel pressured to do any track they don't feel comfortable doing. The majority of tracks up there have an alternate track that runs alongside the harder track.

Please PM me regarding what level group you want to nominate for, being either Medium (C) or Harder ( B )
