@ Winnie better eels then polly waffles eh
Winnie,
Billy Goats was pretty tame ... we did this on Tuesday afternoon on our way out. The lower half below the helipad was just a track ... obviously the grader work is holding together well cause it was easy as. It was a little more interesting at the top, but still fairly easy.
Most of the tracks were in great condition, of which although we don't like the road closures, they obviously have great affect.
Lots of nuffty's out there too though, with tyres at road pressures and no idea what they were doing - with slick tracks in spots due to the rain. We saved one crew from recovering a stuck vehicle ( which probably wouldn't have been stuck at all if they had decreased their tyre pressures a little ) off a trailer chain shackle ...... no wonder people get killed ....
Nah thats not it John. Randalls is pretty steep and very rocky in sections... And the hill has pretty much zero tree's, or very little of them. So you can see where your gonna land... LolQuote:

So AB. Can you email ya mate and ask him please. Pretty please. Nothing better than to shove one in the nose of the plods for something thats really uncalled for in my opinion. Unlike that shorty we seen on the way out nearly on two wheels taking a corner. Lol.Quote:

Still a great climb though ... no views from the top though .. we waited optimistically whilst having lunch for 40 minutes
@ Mudski I'll email Simon and see what he has to say
I'm sure you can engineer anything, providing you have a thick enough wallet to back you up. Simon and D Black offroad would have that capability, as well as mates in the industry.
For an average Joe , I'm sure it would be A lot of $$$$.

Yeh we did billy goats and blue rag on the weekend - the tracks are fairly straight forward for both, but unfortunately because of the weather and fog - the views were non existent which was dissapointing!Quote:

Question is will you go further on the tracks "available" with 35"s
compared to doing the same tracks on 33"s.
Who on the weekend did the same with 265's?
if any
