Yeah, sounds a bit odd, but the idea stems from when I started out that to advance my driving ability and discover more of the capabilities of my vehicle I had to do tracks that scared the hell out of me.

The wife did her 2nd trip the other weekend, and really probably first challenging trip, now I'm planning one for her next outing for Tallarook. She's in a stock FJ, and my plan is to include a few tough ones like Steep Track to really test her out.

Might have a couple of extra spots on the trip for some beginners looking to step it up or for someone more experienced happy to assist the less experienced.

Anyone keen? Sun 22nd.

I dont thi k i can make it but i know the area well. If you want a few more good tracks tehans no5 is pretty steep but not too hard. Phone track is challenging but you will probably do damage in a stock 4wd on thay travk

I would be interested, however that weekend theres the 4wdtrip get together which I'll be going to and there's also another trip happening (Walhalla trip).. so might be a bit hard to get interest of others on that weekend since it's busy.

Are you able to maybe do it a different weekend?

When you have a trip for real novices, that would be me. Hubby is brave but never used the extra controls on our Colorado. Also not wanting to scratch hell out of the car just yet.

perhaps I am misunderstanding what 4 x 4 groups are about. I would like to be able to handle equipment and get ourselves out of trouble if needed.

Keen, checking the date. I'll let you know shortly, but I love the idea. I'm in a stock Jeep Cherokee with A/T tyres so what you're shooting for sounds perfect for me.

Sounds great ! Can you inbox me some more details ?

Great to see you're running trips again Winston.

Have you done steep track before mate? I haven't tackled that one myself.

Haven't done steep track yet but from what I've seen it looks tough but doable in a good stock vehicle.

Lorraine, don't stress. There are trips for beginners, I ran one earlier this year that was basically for first timers. You progress quickly and the more challenging the day, the more confidence you will get.

Mark, thanks mate. I'm limited these days since I rolled the Paj. Waiting for a bit to get my next rig. I'm passenger now while mt wife gets better and better. Might consider offering to sit shotgun with someone and run a trip where they don't feel confident.
