Walhalla Day Trip. MEDIUM / HARD

Walhalla, VIC

See more trips
Has been quite a while since I have been out 4wding, especially with all the uncertainty due to Covid, along with the Paj being off the road after some major repairs, so I think it is time to head back to my favourite place for a day of 4wding.
Will not be a early start, as plan is to drive only 5 tracks on the day; Mormontown, Deep Ck 1 & 4, Fultons and finish with Beardmores before heading home, hopefully by 4pm.

This trip is rated 'medium/hard', so is not suitable for inexperienced 4wders or vehicles that dont meet the following minimum requirements;
32" A/T or mud tyres with some body/suspension lift.
Winch, along with full recovery gear, snatchstrap, etc,
Some sort of traction aid, locker etc, & snorkel preferred.
UHF Radio, hand held or in car.

Please ensure you have enough fuel for the trip, (aprox 150 klms from Erica), with last fuel available at Moe. We will have only a short lunchbreak, ( 30 mins), so dont bring the bbq etc to cook a feast. Feel free to bring partners/children (NO DOGS), and there will be no toilet facilities on the trip, other than at our meeting place in Erica.

As with all my trips, CHECK IN is mandatory with cut off time 12.00 midday on Friday the 19th to confirm your attendance. Failure to check in will result in you being removed from this trip.

PS. Will confirm closer to trip date, but I am more than likely going to stay in a cabin at Erica Caravan park on the Friday night and have a meal at the pub across the road; (hot rocks steak is sensational), If interested, let me know. Also, if weather is going to be crap, I will most likely postpone trip to another date, as I have no interest in playing in mud.

Any questions, feel free to ask.

Sounds good Al conditions and date pending I too have no interest in a mudfest lol

Matthew (discomatt)
Well that filled up quick, looked this morning and it wasn't approved yet

A lot of people are pretty keen to get out at every opportunity, i know i am
14 Feb 2021
Trip Leader Allan (allanmac) Premium Member
Yes Matt, it did fill quickly. Biggest frustration for many on the site is the review process that can take quite a while before trip is put up. In my opinion, all trips should automatically go on when posted and if Kelvin/admins feel something may need to be amended, they contact the trip organizer to make any necessary changes.

Seems as though there is a bit of interest, so I may increase numbers to a maximum of 8, but wont make a decision for a week or so. Again, if weather is going to be really crap, will probably postpone as both Alex and myself have no interest in 'playing in mud'.

Yeah it does look like there is a few more guys interested, lucky I got in early

Hi Al,
Tina and I will leave Silvan around 7.00pm on Friday night due to her work commitments.
By the time we grab a bite to eat on the way (code for how slow the Hilux is) we'll be in the area around 9.30PM. We'll free camp and swag it at Seninis campground which is only a few k's out of Erica so we'll see you Saturday morning. Seninis isn't the flashest but it's well off the main drag and will do for the night.

Trip Leader Allan (allanmac) Premium Member
No probs Alex, thanks for the 'heads up'. I am still unsure if I will stay Friday night in Erica, but more than likely will so I can have a bit of a 'sleep in' on Sat morning.

Trip Leader Allan (allanmac) Premium Member
Even though trip is still almost 2 weeks away, long range forecast is not great; rain for all the week prior to the Saturday. Wont change the date yet, as BOM often get it wrong, but hoping the following Saturday the 27th is still suitable to all those planning to attend, if I decide to change the date. Let me know your thoughts.

Matthew (discomatt)
There will have to be a fair amount of rain to make it to wet, a few sprinkles keep the dust down and make it a little interesting. Not interested if we get 50mm but a few showers will be good.
As for the next weekend that's all good with me at this stage.

Alex (TEQ-80) Premium Member
Either date works for me as long as I don’t get my gearbox muddy 😁

I’m easy whatever dates are fine by me.

Matthew (discomatt)
weather is looking very good now, only 1 day of rain forecast early in the week, tracks will be bone dry for most of it
11 Mar 2021
Stuart (Stu)
Sweet, can't wait
11 Mar 2021
Trip Leader Allan (allanmac) Premium Member
Yes Matt, forecast looks good. My main concern was the clay rutted section near the end of Deep Ck 4, only needs a little rain to make it a 'winching' section. So unless there is a major change to the forecast, Sat the 20th is 'locked in'.

Hey Al, Cant make it Friday night so will see you all Saturday morning. Plan on staying somewhere Saturday night and do a little explore Sunday morning if anyone wants to join me.

Matthew (discomatt)

I am interested in a camp out but have to go out for diner Sunday
14 Mar 2021
Pauly (Dagy) Premium Member
Not sure probably about 1 ish
14 Mar 2021
Kelvin (TREXGQ) Premium Member
Yea, definitely no later than 3pm..... we will be checking out some new area East of Erica..... will see how that goes...
14 Mar 2021
Trip Leader Allan (allanmac) Premium Member
Great to have you join our 'regular crew' Kelvin and you finally able to meet Alex; not sure if that is good or bad thing...lol.
Pauly, I wont be heading up Friday night at this stage, as I have a big regional trip at work on Friday with a late finish. Look forward to catching up with everyone again. I plan to arrive by 8.30ish on Sat morning and pick up some breeky from the Erica General store. BTW, we will start off on UHF Channel 18.

Trip Leader Allan (allanmac) Premium Member
Well guys, looks like the weather gods are smiling on us, as forecast is almost perfect. Check in is up and look forward to catching up with you all on Sat morning.

Rubbing my hands together can’t wait to see how slow I can go 😁
