Night Drive at Cobaw

Well, it was my first time driving Alcorns Track, wet and in the dark. Alcorns track is known as one of the toughest track at Cobaw State Forest.

We ended up having 2 Jeeps with broken winches. Thanks to TREX GQ and everyone's help, they were recovered "technically".

Great video. I've only been to cobaw once , alcorns track looked tough enough in the daylight, I took the chicken track ! Something I've noticed on vids of alcorns is the ones that make it look easy go to the right at the first ledge? My group all went left and all but one (our Antony and his great ute) had trouble

any thoughts ?
