So I've just picked up my new Patrol on Thursday just passed, and I have 4 workmates and we all would like to do a trip to the Grampians on Monday. As I have mentioned in other posts elsewhere on the forum, I've never done any 4WDing, and I'm mainly planning to just stick to the sealed roads but just want to go for a nice day trip somewhere.

I've been doing a bit of research and I can see that there's the Grampians Drive that can be done and it is rated as Medium. They do say that they recommend some experience, but on a first time with 4 girls in the car, do you think I could get away with it? Or at least parts of it? And given it is just a day trip, do I really need any extra equipment?
