Trip report Recce G4 orange 9th september

[discoute]

Back from the recce at the SPRINGS 4wd pk.

The night run will start at a area viewable for spectators. This track is a large steep rock formation that should not require recovery of any vehicles. This track is around 600 mtr long with steep climbs, aggessive side angles needing good wheel placement. There is no damage expected here.

From here the next track is a dry gully run, this is a must finish track of some 800 mtrs travelling down this gully there is some very steep desents, the exit of this track has a large loose rock climb, there is some over 20 degree side angles here.

The next set of tracks are gully runs with a short track of severe desents and one steep climb. Recovery is expected.

The next track is a new track due for completion for the nigh run, this track is around 1 klm in length consisting of a severe desent to a gully run the assent is of many rock ledges and deeps holes. Recovery is expected.

Should these tracks be completed within the time limit there are several other new tracks for use.

This run should not return panel damage to any vehicle with good recovery, but this is a G4 so be ready for anything. One water crossing only.

Sunday is a good chance for other members to drive some of the tracks and brush up on some more technical recovery.

This park has a cafe and can supply meals at good prices, please phone them for a menu. example "rump steak and salad $10.50., all day breaky 'BACON EGGS & TOAST" $9.50. PH 46852558 or emial for a menu and prices. thesprings4x4xpark@hotmail,com

Sounds like bloody good fun. Matt better get fit I guess

Pannel damage wise, since I'll be there I bet I'll come home with some new battle scars Just that I'm a bit jinxed that way. But you get that and you need to show that your LR isn't a ******* 4WD

This sounds good cant wait - geez only 2 weeks to go 11 days to go not that i'm counting . Just as well I playing so much sport at the moment just to keep fit for the run, just need to get mick out now .

I think ordering dinner and breekky at cafe is the way to go, saves cooking and washing up, more time to play
