Pyrenees ranges state forest., VIC
See more trips
Hi All doing a trip to the Pyrenees ranges. Never been there before so unsure of the difficulty of the tracks. Depending on the group we can try the harder tracks. But my main objective of this trip is to explore the area. If anyone joins the trip and has been there before your input will be appreciated on the tracks and place's to go. Looking at going after work Saturday arriving in avoca around 4pm. Driving to camp at Glenpatrick camp reserve, then hit the tracks Sunday. Can do some tracks Saturday after arriving at camp if anyone is keen. Day tripper welcome just meet us at the camp site at 8.30 am.
Thanks Luke

Keen to go back again.... some of the tracks were graded when we went there last yr....but still a lot of interesting tracks....and some steep rocky tracks........ can't remember the name though...but as you can see, it's a relatively small area...... just explore as many tracks as possible....I will confirm closer to the date (if it is not FULL yet...haha)

Trip full already that's great, a bit of pressure on me now . If I can get all of the passengers names who are coming as it will help me with the planning of the w/e, PM me if you prefer. Mien & Jack don't have to of course. My 4yo daughter will be coming also as she is busting to go camping again. Also can I ask who is coming up Saturday or Sunday? thanks.

Hi matt i don't see what age group has to do with going 4wdriving ? If you enjoy going 4wdriving just go and meet like minded people. This is also my first trip and looking forward to meeting other 4wdrivers.

Hi mate , I'm 43 to me it doesn't matter about your age we all love going 4wding and camping . Last week I went on a trip with 14 people for the W/E had one of my best trips ever thanks to the people on the trip. The age group ranged from early 20's to 50's. Hope this helps

There is a few of us will be up there Friday night, might see you lot at camp Saturday night.

I've noticed in 4wding & camping age does not matter, most people get along very well regardless of age.
In our regular group we have mainly 30's to 60's everyone gets on well & we have a cracker of a time.
It's more attitude than age.

I'd like to see a trip report. Some nice rough tracks up there, last thing we heard from that group was asking which vehicles had winches so they were having some challenging times.
