BEGINNERS ONLY trip through Tallarook EASY / MEDIUM

Tallarook, VIC

See more trips
Running another of the fun and popular beginners runs through Tallarook.

This is STRICTLY FOR THOSE STARTING OUT IN 4WDING - little to no experience. If you join and it's apparent that you are experienced in 4wding, you will be removed from the trip.

The aim is to give you some tips and guidance that will make you more confident about yourself and your vehicle. The tracks will vary from easy to what may seem quite difficult, but you will have experienced drivers to talk to and supporting you throughout the whole day. There's no pressure, just out to have some fun. A short information session will be presented at the start of the day about the features and driving aspects of your vehicle, convoy procedures, etc. Then another short session at lunch about recovery techniques and equipment.

Full day on the tracks, so please bring lunch, drinks and whatever you need for toilet breaks. Will try to stop at the 1 area that has public toilets throughout the day.

Requirements for the trip:
A true 4wd - i.e. must have selectable 4wd gearing with low range (some newer vehicles excepted such as Amaroks that have extra low gears in the transmission instead of selectable low range)

A decent quality UHF radio, handheld is fine, preferably 5W.

If you have a compressor, recovery gear, tyre deflators, etc, please bring them as some won't and it's helpful to have them to share around.

Aside from that, just the desire to get stuck into it!
