Another Big River to Woods Point trip (camping overnight) EASY / MEDIUM

Big River / Mount Matlock / Woods Point, VIC

See more trips

The famous loop Big River to Woods Point and camping overnight at woods point.

 

Meet at warburton Saturday morning coming back Sunday afternoon.  The trip is fairly easy (but not at all boring) which I have done many times now as it is such a good trip.  Hopefully there is still snow up around Mount Matlock as there was last weekend. We will find a nice spot by the river where we can kick back around a fire.

If you are looking for a trip to bash your car around, this is not the trip for you, but if you are new to 4x4 and looking to meet some great people. Jump on.

 

Also if you have joined and then cannot make it for any reason please jump out of the trip as soon as possible to give someone else the opportunity to join.

 

- Also I reserve the right to pull the pin if the weather is extreme such as heavy rain, winds, storms.

First trip looking forwards to meeting the guys. Is a chainsaw still needed as I can bring one
29 Jun 2018
Trip Leader Eli (Triton Noob)
Like wise john, wouldn't hurt to bring another just for back up. Last week there were some trees down but I'm hoping They have all been cleared.

Hi everyone, weather is looking good for the weekend and snow predicted therefore please ensure tyres are appropriate for the conditions.

I will pick up a bag of dry firewood from a servo if someone else would like to do the same so we can have a nice big fire tomorrow night.

Myself and Stephanie are Looking forward to meeting you all. Any questions feel free to ask.

WITHDRAWN from Trip - Reason: Eli, so sorry but Unfortunately I’ve been feeling unwell the last two days and last night I officially came down with the Chickenpox. Good news is I found out now and not while on the trip where I may have infected others. So sorry I was really looking forward to this weekend. Look forward to catching up next time.
