With winter looming I'd like to get another run in before the weather turns and the tracks close.
Planning another Big River through to Woods Point run, similar tracks to the trip(s) last year, but have found a nicer way out of the area via Casper Creek track that has some really nice views over the Thompson dam thanks to recent logging activity.
So the plan is meet at Warburton, air down at Stockmans Reward, head towards Frenchmans gap, drop down to Abbot Link track, splash through the river, as you do, (its not deep) and have lunch around 1.00pm at Woods Point, then go out through Jerico and stop to look at the diversion tunnel before climbing out of the valley for the run home.
Suitable for inexperienced drivers - if the weather is not good we can skip some of the steeper sections - but must have AT tyres for this trip, no road tyres and F&R recovery points.
Best option is to bring a picnic lunch and plan for self-sufficency for the day including morning and afternoon tea breaks, no hurry on this trip.
**You will need a full tank of fuel for the day, last chance is Warburton (our meeting point) if you need to top up.
****Trip is not suitable for SUV's, you will need low range gearing ****
