We ended up with 9 cars on total . Luckily the weather gods were kind , despite all the recent rain and wind , we managed to run the whole route as originaly planned . We did do a pre trip run a few weeks before , just to check on the current conditions , and make sure it was suitable for everyone to run no hassles. 

Was a great mix of people , some having their 1st or 2nd time out , others with experience but never been up here before. 

 

We started at Big River rd , to Frenchmans Spur Tk and had good fun and learning experiences on doing the side tracks . 

 

Then onto Tinger Spur tk for the run down to Woods Point for lunch. 

Nice easy run when dry , but steep in places and everyone took it in their stride , nice and slow , let the car do the work . and enjoyed it . 

 

 

 

 

After lunch at Woods Point we headed back up to Mt Matlock , and travelled Corn Hill side tracks and Cambarville Logging rd back to our starting point.

Everyone had a good day and drove well , no damage , the odd ding and bang underneath , but nothing more than that. 

Was fun , great scenery , easy going day out.

Thanks again Bill for running Tail End Charlie for us yet again . It is much appreciated once again having a experienced friend backup at the tail.

Sorry about the dust thought.

Once again rick and jean. A fantastic day. Well planned and run by you as always. Was great to see newbies and

even better to see experienced people helping out. That is what it is all about. A fun enjoyable time 

and looking forward to the next time. 

Love the handbag. 

 

Cheers

A nice red, white and black  cross check flanny with a cream handbag and a gold belt buckle , wins everytime .

Sorry about the lack of food at the pub , but we missed the antics the night before , which caused them problems.

Another well executed trip under your guidance.

Great photos too!

We had an awesome time putting the vehicles through low range while also taking in some good sights and meeting a great bunch of people. Nice meeting some for the second time.

We're already looking forward to coming along on your next trip guys.

Thanks again!

Cheers

Jason and Katrina
