Coxs River/ Mt Walker Sunday, 22 July 2012

[Steven.Boyd]

This trip is aimed and becoming more familiar with the Rydal area and getting experience leading a trip as this will be my first time as a trip leader


From what I have read it would be advisable if you had good traction tyres and moderate lift but there are easier tracks off to the side. It will be imperative that you have the proper recovery points and recovery gear. It has some steep accents/descents and a couple of river crossings



Where -- Coxs River/ Mt Walker Starting from the show ground at Rydal and finishing at the show ground Rydal

When -- Sunday, 22 July 2012, 7am for 7:30am departure

Meet -- Meet -- Richmond Macdonalds


Grade -- "moderate" C+ There are some B - B+ climbs but there are easier tracks off to the side


Requirements -- recovery points Front/Rear, recovery gear, UHF radio, food/drinks of choice. A camera would be good for reference.

This run is limited to ++++++NO LIMIT +++++vehicles including me..............

As mentioned this is a recce so expect the unexpected, so this will include some exploration of the area.

[SteveC]

Should be a great trip Steve

Would have liked to attend but I'll be away, far far far away.....

[Steven.Boyd]

Thanks Steve

i have mapped it out so it is a slightly longer loop than normal to explore some more trails in the area

there are so many tracks that loop around in that area

Will be a fun day.

[gp]

Steve I would like to go so please put me down.

[Rhino]

Count me out please Steve, Damn family BBQ has gotten in the way of wheeling again...:grief:

[ROK360]

I would love to come along - but our third is due this weekend. More importantly tho I have to crawl under the Waggie and do the RMS before I venture to far away - the weap has become a leak. Hopefully I am good for at least a couple more runs before the Jambo.
Cheers

[Dieselcon]

If I can find my front axel I'll be in.

Steven sorry im definitely out. No 4wd. Hmmmmm

[Steven.Boyd]

No worries guys. Maybe next time. as i am sure there are a lot more weekend reccies on the cards before Jambo

[Steve F]

I'll be up at Rydal when you guys get there so come look for us around the back of the showground at the onsite track as we may come along with you dependant on a few onsite things that are going on ;)

Cheers
Steve

[Steven.Boyd]

No worries Steve F, We will stop by and say hi.

[Steven.Boyd]

Hi All

Looking at the weather its looking like its going to be cold with some rain expected

Just remember warm and appropriate clothing for the conditions

With parts of the track (the harder lines) we may have to use the easer lines as these may be to slippery.

With exploring the longer loop we do need to make sure we get away on time 7:30am depart.

Any problems or questions give me a call and i will see you on Sunday Morning

[Paul-JK]

Hey Steve,

Cheers,

No worries. See you at Richmond

[dobbo56]

Yet another top day out with the SJC. great day Steve, we had a ball, cant wait for the photos to roll in. Top group to go wheelin with. Cheers David D..

[Paul-JK]

Yes, another great day out. Thanks Steve. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I'll have a look though my photos and see if I can get some downloaded later.

David, I noticed when I was following you back onto Richmond that it looked like you've squashed the end of your exhaust pipe. Might just have been a trick of the light but it it looked more oval than round!

Paul

[dobbo56]

yep, i did that on the Gibraltar Rocks trip going through that tricky little creek crossing.

[Heidi]

Sounds like a good trip we must have been just behind you guys heading down the mountains on our way home from hill end

[Steven.Boyd]
