Briag Bush Bash (No actual bush bashing) EASY / MEDIUM

Freestone Creek area, North of Briagolong, VIC

See more trips
Just a quick day trip to get out of the house. Will be meeting in Briag, at this time in the morning I don't believe that the servo will be open so top up in Maffra or Stratty first! We will aim to leave there at 7:30am (Sharp) and head out towards the freestone creek area. I have no real agenda for the day, But my aim is to follow this rough route:

Freestone Creek Rd
Bonus Spur Tk
Tower Link Tk
Left Hand Branch Tk
Grand Final Spur
Valencia Creek Tk
Horseyard Flat (Lunch)
Head home via Marathon Road

We will be travelling at a reasonable pace and not stopping too frequently. If it looks like time is getting away from us a bit, we might change up the route to suit on the day.

The round trip from Stratford to Stratford will be approx. 150km so sufficient fuel, water and food to be carried for those traveling in your vehicle.

Minimum requirements: AT Tyres, Low Range, your own recovery gear (and know how to use it) and a handheld radio.

This is a good trip if you don't have a lot of experience but just want to get out and have a go, but I would say you need to know your vehicle and the 4wd system!

A stock 4wd with AT's will have no trouble, though If wet/raining on the day, I will change to Medium/Hard as there are 1 or 2 spots along the route that can become difficult in the wet. Route is subject to change depending on timing and conditions :)

Requirement

  • Recovery Gear

Yeah I posted the trip before the lockdown BS was announced (yesterday morning) and it's only just been listed on the site for whatever reason. I'll take it down.

Hopefully I get the notification if this trip is put up again. Not often something comes up this close to home (Sale)

Often it takes a number of days between when someone posts a trip and when it shows up on the site. And i think subscribers get early notification of trips which is why trips are often booked out quickly.
