Newbie Trip Tallarook EASY

Tallarook, VIC

See more trips

With all of the tracks about to open I thought I would run this trip for those about to embark on their 4wding adventure. This is truly aimed at those with little to noe experience. I will be touching on all the basics from tyre pressure to basic recovery kit items and possibly even doing a winching demonstration. Tracks willl be easy and can be done with stock vehicles. If you are looking for a challenge this is most likely not the trip for you unless you are happy to run charlie or impart your knowledge onto others. If however you are wanting to learn some basic skille I would encourage you to jump on this trip.

I can potentially come up and take the second packet if you need mate.
99 DX Coil cab, winch, 35's and a worked TD42T or I can bring the new 04 TD42T auto wagon with winch and heaps of recovery gear for demo's.

What an awesome day out, I had a great time exploring a new area and even though the Patrol did it easy I still enjoyed myself and it was great seeing other newbies tackling some of that stuff and having fun in their vehicles.

Unfortunately being last car I don't really have any footage or pictures of others.

Thanks to everyone who did upload their pics and videos and if anyone has a close up of me doing that obstacle with the tree in the middle I would appreciate it.

Thanks and hope to see you guys again. And of course thanks Greg for organising it.

Many thanks to Greg and everyone. We had a great time yesterday.
Thurstain I've uploaded a video of you doing that bit. Apologies for the shaky junior footage, but he did pretty well for 9 and his first time getting his hands on my camera... I can probably grab some stills out if it, I'll have a look.

Thurstain (Tcm9669) Premium Member
Thank you, that's actually a great video. It's only shaky towards the end after I did the obstacle but the obstacle is clear.

Thanks.
