    I just found out that I have a wedding to attend on 24th, so I'll join you lot on the 25th only.

    Regarding severity of 4WDing itself, I watched some AULRO YouTube videos and it looks like some serious offroading - do you think there'll be opportunities for beginners (like me) to cut teeth on some relatively tame tracks? Not too keen to break a $100K car...

    Hi Steven, the last two years there have been two groups, one for people who want to attempt harder stuff and one not so hard.
    I think the videos showed more of the hard stuff cos it is more speccy.
    You will learn a lot from the people who go on the weekend and have a great time. Damage is unlikely in the not so hard tracks
    Cheers
    Mike

    Thursday night a few of us will be discussing this D3/D4/RRS weekend away, going on the poll, it could be goer, we just need to confirm that we can get the same area at Lake Lyell as last year, also the drives and where to take everyone, as with last year there will be two groups.

    If you're interested in what we will be talking about, or just want to meet other members, let us know and we can tell you where and when we will be, it's a pub dinner and will be in the southern area of Sydney, just a nice relaxing social meeting to go over things.

    Baz.
    Cheers Baz.

    I've rang Lake Lyell and they can fit us in 23-24 Oct or 31 Oct-1 Nov.

    Cheers,

    I'm assuming you ment 24/25 Oct Rob, that's good, either is OK for us, so we can pick the date tomorrow night and go from there, 24/25 seems to be OK, going on the dates that have been mentioned.

    Baz.
    Cheers Baz.

    If I look at the poll that has been running for sometime now there is seven confirmations, at least three of those seven are meant to be organising the trip. That leaves just four actual non organising members as having committed to the trip so far.

    On the other side there is twelve maybe's. That's a ratio of three to one maybe's versus confirmed, which is a pretty low confirmation rate even at this early stage compared to previous years.

    So how about instead of those who are organising the trip deciding which weekend is best for them why not put up another poll with dates available so the actual members this trip is meant for can have a say about what date best suites the majority of them?

    Who knows you may find that if you give the members who this trip is meant for a choice and a voice you may end up getting more committing to the actual trip?

    So I propose given that it has now come out that there is multiple dates available at the camp ground why not let the non organising members also have a say through a poll about what date best suites the majority of them Barry?
    Cheers,
    Terry

    We haven't decided anything yet, that's what tomorrow night is for, I'm not going to do anything until we all agree on what to do.

    Thanks for the idea though.

    Baz.
    Cheers Baz.

    Hi Steven

    To give you a participants perspective from the last two years. Although I am a moderately experienced four wheel driver I choose the easier group because I want to minimize the chances of serious damage or a tow truck back. For me I find the level about right, it is real 4 wheel driving in places not just cruising down dirt tracks. This means that there is not no chance of damage and you need to be prepared that you could get the odd pinstripe from a bush or potentially some tyre and wheel damage. Last time on a very undemanding section a harmless looking stick flipped up behind the rear wheel and dug in which pushed half the back bumper off my car, but this could happen anywhere really, fortunately it all just clipped back into place.

    If you are a beginner you might find some of the hills a bit butt clenching at first but that's the fun of it and they don't go anywhere these amazing cars can't easily handle and there are lots of great people who are happy to talk you through it and have gear to help if any trouble.
