Well after the dissapointment of Tallarook ablaze I decided to have a look at Mt Dissapointment (quite fitting)

I just took 6 vehicles so sorry to those on the Tallarook trip that missed out.

There were 4 Rangers in prep for the Ranger 4 day high country trip, they all needed and enjoyed the practice and experience.

Well done guys we tackled the ladder, we did go down it, but it's still hairy enough, much of the other tracks you could take a commodore down, Stony ck had a turd spot at the ck exit, that was tricky too, that was a bit tricky.

All up we had a great day, there are so many tracks there, maybe we just got unlucky and didn't find enough interesting ones.

My pics to follow, sorry I don't have many as I spotted a lot of the time, if anyone else has some please upload them.

Cheers Mark

Would love to see the pictures allan took

Well Mark, we did find a few good tracks. Like you, wont be rushing back there as many tracks we did were overgrown and all vehicles copped heaps of 'pinstripes'. Felt sorry for Jason, as his Ranger did not have a mark on it, prior to this trip......

We all met at Macca's Whittlesea, then headed into the forest to airdown.

We did a couple of tracks  that were fairly straightforward, then I asked if anyone wanted to have a look at 'The Ladder'. All said yes, so we made our way to the beginning of the track. One of the tracks on our way to the ladder.

We then arrived. (Didnt get any good pics as was too busy spotting.)

Once we were all down the bottom, we continued to the picnic area to have lunch, after driving through a boghole section.

After our lunch stop, we continued on. Nothing overly exciting except all vehicles were getting more pinstrips..... We then arrived at section of track where I thought, 'this is going to be a winch job for a few", but all did a sensational job without any recoveries required.

We then drove a few other tracks, then we all headed home.

Again, a enjoyable day with great company and the inexperienced guys did a magnificent job in driving a couple of tracks that they really should have not, but they wanted to try and again, they did exceptionally well.

Thanks again Mark for arranging the outing and think I will be up early to give the paj a bit of a cut & polish to try to remove a few of the pinstripes. Cant wait to get back to Tallarook as wont be going here again.

PS: Scott, you can 'copy image' if you want any of the pics. Some great pics taken by Mark.

Great pics guys. Glad to hear you all had a great day out. I wouldn't mind trying the Ladder going down next time.

Also, a special mention to Kevin, most improved driver of the day.

He hadn't taken his Ranger offroad before and didn't really know what a 4x4 could do.

Then we gave him the ladder!! WTF

He did see mine go through just fine, so all that was required was the right line, but well done mate!

I'm sure all those that attended gained pinstripes but more importantly some confidence.

And I can't forget to thank Allan, being trip leader is made very easy when having the assistance of an experienced 4 wheeler like Allan

Thanks Mate!
