Beechworth - Myrtleford explore HARD

Beechworth - Myrtleford, VIC
See more trips
Have never been up that way 4wding and know very little about what's on offer aside from whisperings of incredibly tough tracks. Will be a fairly unstructured trip just exploring. It's a long drive up there and back for most so I'll be aiming to air up on Sunday around 2.30pm.

This is not a trip for the faint of heart driver or vehicle that isn't properly set up. If you aren't sure about yours or your vehicles capability send me a message.

I plan to go up friday night but it will be a loosely planned time as ill just be heading up once ready if your keen to come up friday night then feel free to msg me otherwise we will meet at the original beechworth bakery at 9.30 saturday morning

It might act as cushioning when you roll...

I wouldn't recommend a rooftop tent. My plan is to attempt the hardest stuff we can find. You'd really want to keep your centre of gravity as low as possible.

I guess I'll order the tent for awning in that case

Guys I'm really sorry to do this at the last minute but I have to cancel this trip. I have a dog who needs surgery and I don't want to go away and leave him for my wife to have to care for when she already has a 2 month old baby to look after as well.

Just came home from the shops to pools of blood everywhere.
