View Full Version : This Anzac long weekend - Trips?
I'm keen to do a bit of wheeling this long weekend. I know we have the Menai cleanup on Sunday, and intend on being there, but does anyone want to do anything either the Saturday or Monday as well?
I can't make the clean up on the Sunday so I would be keen for a drive on one of the other days. How about a Watagans run, I dont really know the area that well but would be willing to have a go up there.
Yeah wattagans rope road would be good, on Monday perhaps?
Monday's good for me.
Meet at Thornleigh Macca's at 9:00am?
Anyone else?
I'll be away camping this weekend, but I hope you guys enjoy your drives :)

I went there once before with DirtJeep. Was over a year ago now so i won't be heaps good apart from the occasional ah i recognise this or that. Maybe send him a message and see if he's keen.

I went through a while back with DJ too - i gotta say there are some very difficult sections on that track - we had to winch the last rock and i've heard it's even tougher now. Probably the most overgrown track i've ever been on too (i hope you like pinstripes).
i would love to make it but im busy all this weekend... :roll:
If I'm sober enough to make it, I'm keen.
I don't really want to go up there if we don't have a guide, as I've heard you can be driving for hours to find one good obstacle if you don't know where you're going?
I don't think i'd get a leave pass for the whole day so looks like I'm out for any playtime on monday.
I might shoot over to winchbreak and have a bit of a play around the top though.

We could do the trail we did on Jeff's trip and where we turned around at the big hill keep on going. That climb looks fun but never been over the hill so dunno wats on the other side

"That hill" is very degraded now. It's been dug out so badly by idiots with big tyres and lifts and no conscience. The first time we went up there (the infamous winch incident on a certain red TJ) we all got up - including the WJ and an XJ, but it was a lot of work and really shouldn't have been attempted in that car. Last trip (Jeff's infamous "it's a C-grade") we got to the hill and no-one would have made it without further damaging the track. Even if you could make it, you guys really need to think how that sort of attempt is going to look to the locals - who want us out of there. Beyond the big obstacles and just around the bend is flat road all the way out anyway.
OK I think I've got myself sorted for trips now.
Saturday Appin
Sunday Menai
Monday I might give a miss. 3 days in a row of wheeling is probably asking to break something ;)

Hi Guys...
I am a new member... I just got rid of my wrangler for a 2.5L Turbo Diesel Cherokee due to a new arrival in the family, I am keen on taking it out for a day to see how far I can push it (I was really impressed with the wrangler as it out performed other 4x4 on my past trips ). What do I need to join you guys?
Thanks :lol:
