View Full Version : WA forum meetup EOI



Clunk
25th March 2015, 12:31 AM
WA 489 is chomping at the bit to come up to Perth to give us all a big hug.

So wanting to do something local and soonish. Thinking about the powerlines and camp out. Or Julimar and camp out, or something else and camp out. Whatever it is will entail driving and camping.

I wouldn't mind the middle weekend during the Easter school hols.

edit: looking at the 11th/12th April 2015 at this stage



Any thoughts, just post them up


Ok, so Mundaring Powerlines it is.
Meet up @ 10am Mundaring KFC
Then camp out afterwards for those who want to.

Please confirm if you're coming and PM me your mobile numbers

Also not that this little meetup is not endorsed by the NissanPatrol.com forum, any damage that maybe incurred is your own responsibility (not that we'll be going out of our way to break anything)

I don't mean to be annoying but is there any chance before we head off on this trip you could do a really quick check list of the important stuff you may need? I know its only an over nighter so not much is needed!! But for instance can you bring a gas BBQ?
the rest:-
Clothes
sleeping shit
food
beer
firewood?/ are fires allowed again yet?
fuel tanks topped up
external camp lights
Is that basically it?

Cheers.

Sounds great, sorry I can't make this one, on a cruise with my wife for four days down south and back.

I still have a lot to learn - I either go Army style (ex full time, current reserve) which is way to "roughing it" or go over the top with too much junk that you never use.

Do most bring family / wives / kids etc?

why do you need new tyres and rims?

I believe I can get better value for money by changing tyres/rims.

To change a tube costs about $60-70, because of the split rims. If you don't know what you're doing with split rims, they can kill you if you don't change them properly.

Plus, I'll be pushing the limit with tread depth to travel from home-Perth-play-home.

I really wanted to do this trip because my roster finally lines up. lol.

Hey guys, just to keep you in the loop........ car wouldn't start this morning, didn't have time to look to see what the problem was as I had to get to work. But maybe either just the battery or possibly starter motor. If it's the battery then all well and good, I'll just take the one out of clunker. If it's the starter motor then that could be an issue. If I can't work out what it is then, I'll be calling the good old RAC out to have a looksy.

OK well I guess this is the bit everyone has been waiting for!! A trip report! I will try not to disappoint & keep it short sweet & to the point!

So everyone met up at KFC in Mundaring at 10am. I was not the last into the carpark I just decided to reverse park than just stick it in a gap!! (Possum) So after a brief introduction to everyone & those who got stuck into a KFC we where off! Down Great Eastern Highway about 5 mins in convoy to the turnoff, another 5 mins up a track & it was time to air down, up until this point sun was out & looking like a cracker day! As soon as we started letting down the 1st tyre the heavens opened up good & true to style as we capped the last tyre it stopped! Now we were wet dirty & only about to start! Clunk led with fish possum myself & Gecko keeping an eye from behind! It didn't take long for Gecko to realise I didn't know WTF I was doing & suggested I follow Clunk very closely keeping a good eye on his lines! At this point it was noticed I was very quiet on the UHF despite me answering all calls! Yup I could hear but not send any comms! Thankfully Clunk had spare handhelds so I was back in the game! 1st rocky hill came trying to follow Clunks line I achieved half way before I had a quick stop & a contemplation of what have I got myself in for! Can I really do this? (Forgot to mention to you readers this is my 1st time 4wd ever!!) So after picking up my balls I picked a line & got up with very few if not any loud bangs!! For me this was the hardest hill I had done it! on we went up & down hills through puddles chickening out of everything that looked like "fun" then came another fun looking hill with a mitsishtty stuck on it!! after a few hours of walking talking Gecko came to the rescue & pulled him up with his winch! Now it was time to be shown how to really drive! Gecko took me for a quick proper lesson down & up probably the toughest route of the toughest hill & what a ball that was!! ( Cheers Gecko!!) By now possum was in full moan! then to shortly after realise a btl of Jacks had smashed!! Apparently we hadn't actually heard him moan until that point!! anyway moving on we reach half way after about 4 hours! up & down a few more hills my confidence was starting to grow taking on some ........ muddy hills & generally being abit more adventurous! (shut up you lot!! I thought I was being adventurous!!) then it came time to find camp!! Well done clunk!! Took us straight there! Yeah right!! about 45 mins driving dodgy as tracks thinking I had finally made it into the club on my first outing of getting pin stripped! (Not to be just yet!) Eventually arrived at camp after a short re group & look at the GPS! Finally found Stropp who had set up his camp started us a fire & had kicked back & looked very relaxed! then the fun & games began! Fish left us there Gecko stayed for a few good hours before eventually heading back to his wife whilst the rest of us sat round the fire drank "TEA" & listened to some very vocal frogs!! Unfortunately all that concentration had worn me out & I was in bed by 10:30! But what a day!!!

Cheers everyone who came! I learnt a lot & cant wait for the next trip!!

Photos to follow!

so after the long drive up after work Friday I sat down and had a few with my bro who couldn't make it due to work commitments..up early to meet the city folk at designated point...I only whinged once aswell....nearly covered 1000km so I think I did well not to mention the wife and kids...I must say that was the most relaxed I have ever seen Bella while out 4wding,most times she doesn't enjoy it and gets a bit worried about the angles the car is on(we had a bad prang a few yrs ago so it's understandable)and don't worry dman about being your first time 4wding you did well mate.we packed up camp after a good brekkie we headed back to the big smoke,everyone parting ways as we went along..maybe I should have brought the map up as we missed our exit off the freeway and had a grerat little drive around the city..so with maccas for tea Friday and hungry jacks for brekkie and kfc for lunch we had to get some roast vegies into our system so we stopped half way home at a nice pub and got a sunday roast then continued our way home..
Thanks again to all how made it and it was good getting up there to have a go at stuff I had never tried before..(my first time in any 4wd in mud)

Great pics...
I dont suppose you guys could start hosting them thru photobucket or similar.. It's a big PITA for some one like me with the worst internet on the planet to click on one pic , wait for it to load, click back to page, click on next one, etc, ect.
But looks like loads of fun.

Now I know why I didn't go. lol.

Strop, mate, I wasn't born on 1st April. Ha ha ha ha.

Seriously, my mechanic would have charged lots of money to degrease my front end before servicing it.

Maybe next time.
