Appin has a mixture of pretty tame stuff to stuff that can very easily roll your jeep if you arnt careful.

Tropey

Sexytj... pm sent.

BenC
06-12-05, 09:23 AM

Tropey

time??? meeting place???
i suggest 9.30... meeting place i wouldn't have a clue. Apparantly KFC campbelltown is the go.
What day is best ??? I think the Saturday... what does everyone else think?

BenC
07-12-05, 11:41 AM
Saturday works for me. 10am meeting time would be nice.

Do you guys plan on doing the A or C grade tracks?

Dorzun
07-12-05, 11:50 AM
bugger, sunday and I could have gone.

Ah, well, may have to sneak a night drive in the following week.

sexytj
07-12-05, 06:13 PM
So saturday or sunday?? Whats the go guys :?:
As for the grade what do you guys think?
Im runnig 5.5 RE, 35's and lockers front and rear.
My mates are running 4.5 RE's ,33's but no lockers.

BenC
08-12-05, 09:23 AM
I just remembered I have to help a friend pick some new tyres on Saturday morning, so I couldn't be at Crumbletown until 10 at the earliest.

Saturday is my preference, but if more people can make Sunday then make it Sunday.

oh and........Be prepared for carnage, we're doing the A grade trail :P

Dan you'll have no worries on the a grade trail - other dude might have some issues

Tropey
08-12-05, 10:22 AM
If it?s an A grade then I?m out. I don?t think my rigs up to it running 33?s with no lockers on standard gearing at the moment. Plus I just put in a body lift and I didn?t want to test it on an a grade. If it's the c grade then i'm in though.

sir_camel
08-12-05, 10:24 AM
I did this trail unlocked on stock gears with 33's and adequate lift and got pulled through most of it.

BenC
08-12-05, 11:10 AM
I'm happy to snatch one under spec vehicle through the more difficult sections of the track if they want to come along and learn.

sexytj
08-12-05, 06:44 PM
So lets make it saturday 10:30am. Is this good for you guys?
Ha guys my mates dont know if there tj's can make this track.
One of them said he will try it, but orrr is not sure. :?
But im in :!: I want to test my jeep. :twisted:

sexytj
08-12-05, 06:51 PM

TIGGER
09-12-05, 08:46 AM
No Dan i can't make it mate... but i would recommend going with someone who knows the area because there are some tricky sections

Tropey
09-12-05, 10:16 AM
does anyone have a map or anything of the c grade trail in the area???

Tropey
12-12-05, 09:35 AM
does anyone want to join me in doing the c grade trail on the same day?

stevet
12-12-05, 12:58 PM
I am interested in doing the "C" trail with you Tropey and maybe seeing some of the carnage of others ( soley as a learning experience,Hummmm!)

Tropey
12-12-05, 01:45 PM

stevet
12-12-05, 03:02 PM

tjOmar
13-12-05, 10:23 AM

Tropey
13-12-05, 10:23 AM

BenC
13-12-05, 10:30 AM

tjOmar
13-12-05, 10:49 AM

Tropey
13-12-05, 12:03 PM

Dorzun
13-12-05, 12:03 PM
I'm out, broke my truck at Berridale.

tjOmar
13-12-05, 01:22 PM
TROPEY, great. Do you or anyone of your mates know your way around Appin?

BenC
13-12-05, 01:53 PM
I'm out, broke my truck at Berridale.

again, what broke this time????

Just a CV :) Will replace it next weekend probably. It was to be expected considering what I was doing.

stevet
13-12-05, 01:55 PM
Omar hi, it will be the first time there for me but check out the club fav. trip/destinations. Some minor directions there.A few of the folks doing the "a" trail know the area so we should be o.k. Sometimes you can find fun spots when you're a little bit lost.See you on saturday.

Tropey
13-12-05, 01:59 PM
dont really know the area... but it should'nt be that harad... i have general directions as stevet said.

Wolfe
15-12-05, 06:46 AM
Have you guys done menai ? I dont think it wise to head into appin without someone that knows the area.Why dont you organise a trip to appin later on when more people can go? If i get my rig back I might be up for short trip early Sunday morning, I got family things on sunday lunch

billsta
15-12-05, 02:59 PM
so no a grade trip?

Tropey
15-12-05, 04:07 PM
yeah there still is Billsta... talk to sexytj.

tjOmar
15-12-05, 11:47 PM
So Tropey, Stevet we definitely meeting sat morning for the C grade trip? My mate drew n I are still keen as!! Anyone else is most welcome...

Jeff
15-12-05, 11:53 PM
I'm keen.

Happy to go to Appin, I know a bit of the A grade stuff but not the c grade.

If you want to go to Menai, I know that one well. Its a muuuch better area for C grade stuff.

sexytj
16-12-05, 10:10 AM
So whos in for the A grade trip and whos in for the C grade? :?: Do we have someone that knows this area and is coming with us? :?:

Jeff
16-12-05, 11:31 AM
Not really keen for that much A grade stuff, would prefer to follow the C grade guys.

stevet
16-12-05, 12:10 PM
Sorry guy's I'm out. Slight mishap so rehab. has gone wrong way.See ya soon.

tjOmar
16-12-05, 12:15 PM
Hi Jeff, we're just trying to work out the meeting point & time. I'll send you a PM with my contact info. Gimme a buzz whenever....

sexytj
16-12-05, 06:18 PM
Well looks like im in on the C grade trip. Maybe Next Year for the A grade trip? :?: :cry:
Ha Antz, Are you still in for the Appin trip? :?: :?:

Jeff
16-12-05, 06:54 PM
I'm sure we can find some A grade bypass bits...

So does anyone here actually know the c grade track?

Antz
16-12-05, 08:50 PM
I have been waiting to see if I'm able to go but I now have to work on Saturday.

You can't really get too lost at Appin but most of the A grade sections do not have bypasses, better to just stick to the C grade section.

Antz
16-12-05, 10:38 PM
Who is leading this trip? I can give basic directions if needed.

Jeff
16-12-05, 11:18 PM
Might give you a call tomorrow morning for some basic directons if that's okay.

billsta
17-12-05, 02:05 AM
