Contact: Please post here if you are coming along and PM XLR8 with a mobile number. If we have your mob number we can check if you are running late and organise another meeting point. If you drop out late we can contact you and the rest of the crew can get moving instead of hanging around wondering.

Other info: The trip will be tailored for those attending and all the lumpy bits will have "Resale Routes" for those that don't wish to take the chance of scratching up the pride and joy. There will be no pressure to anyone to get outside their comfort zone. Looking forward to a day out with friends. Hope to see you there.

Doing all 3 trips in the same day or will 1 be settled on?

[XLR8]

I should have explained a little better. We will be running 3 separate trips, catering for all tastes. This is so those that are uncomfortable on certain terrain or have limited experience can choose something in line with their comfort zone. Having said that, those who wish to step out of their comfort zone and have a crack at the rocks & ruts are welcome to do so in the knowledge that there will be plenty of experienced members available to assist and guide them through.

I was up at Powerlines again Easter weekend and has been chewed out even more than when we were there. Once we get a bit of decent rain it's gonna be a real challenge to get through. Will be doing the recce for Julimar mid next week so will let you know how that looks.
