Matlock loop from Warburton EASY / MEDIUM

Mt Matlock, vic, VIC


Heading back out to do the loop again New locker installed and want to test it out. This will be a easy / medium trip depending on your experience / vehicle setup and weather. Being the AFL Grand Final day i hope this reduces the amount of people out and about, but time will tell.



 



This trip is for those new and experienced to 4wd, it will require a vehicle equipt with low range (no soft roaders), minimum agressive all terrains with decent amount of tread (no highway tyres), rated recovery points. and full recovery gear required.  



 



This loop is from Warburton, Plan will be to air down at Stockmans reward camp ground (Approx 1 hr) from Warburton.



From Airing down we will be looking at the following tracks



Snowy Trk



Eli Trk

Frenchmans Trk

Boundary Trk



Corn HIll Trk

up to Mt Matlock Fire Look out

out via Warburton - Woodspoint Rd to Cumberland Junction (air up) 



Please ensure you have enough food and drinks (no alcohol allowed) for all parties within your vehicle. 



 



This will be a full day out,  hope to be back  at Cumberland Junction at around 4:30pm, this will allow for Lunch, any recoveries / traffic jams. 



 



All drivers are responsible for their vehicles and enter this trip at their own risk knowing damage can occur and it is not the trip leaders or 4wdtrip's fault. 



 



vehicle order will be arranged on the day as well as a quick briefing on convoy procedure for those who are not familiar with it.



 



If you have any questions please contact me.

    Shame these bloody trips fill up so quickly. I don’t have much access to the internet at work during the day so I was able show interest but couldn’t confirm till I got to my calendar to confirm.
    Hopefully more of these easy/medium trips come up soon. I was hanging to get out on one too.

    Thanks to everyone for attending the trip. Was a great day out, with something for everyone. Was good to meet new people. I have a few videos and photos of cars send me a email (nick.morphett@gmail.com) I can send them back to you.

    As discussed with a few I'll be looking at doing day trips overnighters and a high country explore trip if everything goes to plan mostly easy to medium if interested let me know.

    Lastly there's a feedback section on our profiles if anyone wishes to fill that out it would be good. Thanks again and looking forward to seeing everyone on the tracks soon!
