**** We will be on channel 39 *****

Dirt Mappers! I am looking to run a trip to high country likely to be the popular spot such as Billy Goat Bluff track and Pinnacles. If time allowed, may also head to Mt Kent which is a hidden gem to some.

I will be camping at Italian Flat Camping Ground north of Dargo on Friday night. If you can't camp, please meet us at Dargo Pub on Sat early morning. https://goo.gl/maps/9Z8E7hje7J53uZjT6

We have quite a lot of distance to cover so make sure you are self sufficient and have enough fuel (especially for those with extra cylinders :)

I would rate this trip as Medium.

Note: Excessive drinking or drinking while driving on this trip is strictly prohibited. You will be banned from 4WDTRIP forever. Sorry I have to put this strict rule, just in case we are getting too excited after lockdown. Please also make sure you behave and respect each other. Again, if any unreasonable behaviour or anything that could cause any potential harm or damage to anyone or vehicles, sorry, you are out from my trip and 4WDTRIP. I may sound a bit strict but this is a basic and common sense and have to set some ground rule before the trip starts. Thank you
