You'll be right mate - for those of us who have headed out before we are a pretty easy going, no pressure bunch, so there'll be plenty of stuff to try out with the more extreme of us still getting heaps of opportunity also ...Quote:

You'll be fine great bunch of people and you'll learn heaps. never second guess your navi just do as you're told pretty much the guys here will get you doing stuff you wouldn't dream of very safely and you'll learn heaps. takes awhile to get over the angles and fear of rolling but you get use to itQuote:

That's the good thing about glasshouse generally there's chicken tracks round all the harder stuff makes the day easier for everyone!
Pretty keen now can't wait.
True mate - easy tracks around 90% of anything harder .. we usually navi for everyone who wants/needs guidance and truth be told, there's a few decent little areas that people can have a lash on short, hard tracks where you can't really do any damage as such and can reverse straight out of, so there'll be plenty of opportunity for everyone ..Quote:

Looking forward to seeing them - I've explored a fair bit of other areas as my mate lives on Chambers Road (borders the forest), but being he's in a BT50, I don't exactly go out of my way to tackle the tougher tracks when I'm with him, so look forward to having a lash at some new stuff ...Quote:

You'll be right champ. Some vids don't show how hard they are but some don't show how easy they can be either.
you are under-estemating your rig big time. I just looked at your build thread, you will get to the top/bottom of that track and ask yourself why you worried about it in the first place garenteedQuote:

Looks like fun guys. Looking forward to seeing some more footage.
tappin it
forecast for gumboots : showers possible storm tomorrow
Wrong attitude it is not going to rain :) if it does its only gonna be enough for dust suppression.
A little rain would be good for settling the dust as per newby's comment. The lower tracks stay wet but it would take a fair downfall today to really slop things up ...
"She'll be right" is the position I'm taking currently!!
Ok have just been through the thread and done a count there are 13 of us i have 2 coming with me plus another 8 who are possibly tagging along with others so that puts us at 21 vehicles. Awesome being up the front hopefully i will be able to get pics of everyone coming through. I am looking forward to what is looking like an awesome day :)
Soooooooo, is tomorrow still on?
I haven't had much rain out my way.
The 8.30-9.00am meet time at the BP is good for me, unless some of the south side guys want to meet up earlier and travel up together?
Yeah it's still on got no rain where I am and I'm within half hour of the location and still 8:30-9 at northbound bp caboolture
Sounds like a plan Rod. Any others from down south side (thinking meet at/near Torq4X4) want to convoy it up?Quote:

Sorry for those that may be joining in on this convoy Torq are at 3/82 Johnson Rd Hillcrest. There is a servo a few doors up. Probably better to meet there
How many people are going on this trip?
I can't be bothered going through these 12 pages to find out...LMAO
I'm on southside but Redlands area so it's out of my way to meet at torq4x4 I'll meet use at nudgee at 8.15.
possibly 21 i think it wasQuote:
