Hi Jason, I'm interested in joining your trip mate but before I commit I thought that I'd get approval from you first.
I have a recently purchased bog standard Prado, no bar work, lift, nuthn. Highway AT's. Having said that, I have about 20 years 4wding experience with my previous 5 years steering a decked out 3ltr GU Patrol. I'll bring along a snitchy if required and a hand held UHF.
I don't want to cause a hindrance on your trip by being recovered every 2nd kilomitre which I was I thought I'd ask you first.
I look forward to your response.

Yeah that one turned to shit! The only good thing was seeing how everyone pulled together and with some great team work we all got out eventually. Wether that was by going forwards or turning around halfway and forming two groups we all needed some help. So thanks to all, hope damage was minimal and that we'll all be back for another day.

yes it was, we did two easy tracks to start with and had lunch.
i was going to head to another track and thought well this one is at least heading home so decided to do it one last time but this time it was a lot worse as a lot more ppl have been there and chopped it up.
and the rain didnt help.
(will leave this track out in the future)

Great job that you stayed and got the help to get everyone out, even though it was tough work I bet you were still laughing at the end of it....maybe not as loud as the beginning of the day...
Look forward to the next one.

Looked like it was a 'interesting' day. Good to see everyone pitch in and help. Was a bit surprised at trip rating of 'Easy/Medium', especially in the Warburton area.

True. To be fair to Jason, most of the day was good fun and easy/medium. Not sure what I'd rate the last track but it certainly was interesting with some very exciting moments. Glad we were able to turn around but unfortunate for those who had passed the point of no return. Would love to hear what went on till 2:30am? Trip report anyone? Anyway thanks Jason for leading an exciting trip....maybe a bit of warning before the next "less" easy track in the future though!
