well i know clunk is keen to get out to the powerlines for a wheel, and im keen i have been told that its not for sooks or concrete cowboys that are scared of hurting thier 4x4, well im neither but like every one i dont like spending money on the troll for damage if i can help it, so with this in mind when are we going out to do this is there any chicken tracks to save damage and what skill level is required..........

is there any one else that wants to go

Don't worry Tim, there are chicken tracks available, although some are becoming a little less chickčn tack like....... lol.
Just pick your line, don't go help for leather and you'll be fine mate. I've done it in my old Xtrail about 1 1/2 agowith no issues, my old man went up there with his un-modified Pajerohe came out with a banged in rrear bumper (easily popped out with some heat applid from a hair dryer ) but he was trying to go where the big boys went. last time I went up there was a woman driving her Subaru Out back. so you should be ok mate, might get a few bush pinstripes but that's about it......... like I said slow and steady and pick the right line.
as far as the dates go, I'm pretty sure I'm clear for any of them.

Fortunately there isn't one coz unfortunately I was towed out by me mate in his Toymota....... And I in turn never had the chance to return the favour because the big Toymota driving girl never went first and would never try the same thing if I got stuck............. But rest assured it was a safe (as much as they can be) slow and easy snatch not using tow balls, bull bars or anything else that's deemed unsafe

Well I like an early start, so how about meet Saturday @ 8am at the Caltex on Gt Eastern Hwy (just after the Roe Hwy intersection) if that's to early, let me know, if that day is no good, let me know. Like I said, I'm pretty clear the next couple of weekends, so if anyone has a preference...... Let me know lol
