      I am interested in this trip.
      But it will be the first time I have been out with this group.
      So I take it will be tracks like Ellis Track, Cemetery Track etc.

      My car is well setup, but I do not have a winch

      I was up there on the weelend. Thw top of Cemetary is allmost unpassable but I'll try anything

      Allmost impassable sounds like a challange to me

      Interested in this trip as I always love a challenge but would advise that if the likes of Ellis and cemetery are going to be done a winch should be a essential item, just my thoughts...

      Yeah, you wouldn't want to do these tracks without being self recoverable.

      Chicken. All you really need is a shovel and a few teaspoons of concrete.

      Obviously have never tried ellis trk....
      have seen fully locked well set up rigs not get up it

      Darren (nuttbag007)
      I have the odd person call me a chicken, funny thing about that is they are the ones that can't get half the distance I get in my Rig or they are just happy to trash their rig. I'm up for any tough track out there but I have no interest in trashing my Rig, I was up that way less than a week ago and I can tell you unless you have a comp truck their is a section of cemedtary track that can't be done with out damage
      07 Jan 2015

      Evan (Fluffy)
      Please don't think I was calling anyone a chicken. It was meant to give everyone a little chuckle especially if you understand what the concrete is for.

      James (tuffeb)
      I also agree that winches 33s minimum if your tackling cemetery or Ellis bar work sliders too
      Ellis has few chicken tracks depends on weather a lot too if it's raining or been raining it will be a long day
      I'm twin locked 37 treps 350 chev v8 in a shorty gq with high mount
      Impassable sounds like fun

      I'm pretty keen for this my Mrs uncle lives in Millgrove I can trailer my rig out n unload there

      Andrew Wale (awale)
      I am very nervous driving Ellis Track. I have driven this track before and it is rather extreme.
      I do not have a winch but have 33" tyres, 3" Lift and rock sliders etc.
      As my JK Wrangler is my daily driver, I do not want to damage it.
      So will give this one a miss.

      So call me chicken.

      Darren (nuttbag007)
      Andrew, my rig is well set up but I won't be doing anything that will damage my truck. There are still plenty of good tracks to do

      What sort of trip is this now?
      People quitting cause of risk of damage.

      Chicken calls? Impossible is the track selection criteria.

      Trailered in rigs - for a social day for crying out loud.
      It was rated medium to hard not extreme.

      If this develops into a thrash, crash and winch up a single track all day count me out.
      If you want to do those sort of trips start your own or join one put up as such.

      YouTube some videos of Ellis cemetery and britanica track and you will see why I say minimum 33s and a winch
      What's wrong with trailering my rig in? Saves wear on my types abs

      Saves wear on my types and amount of police defecting 4x4 lately I'd rather trailer it it's decent drive for me

      If we skip them 3 tracks in particular I don't know any other ones out there they have chicken tracks but a few of the rocky sections are not crawl able on 35s locked if it's had bit of rain
