Now i know better. Id be up for something a little more difficult as long as the Navara boys come get us out LOL. The A/T make a big difference. ( glad I have them ) How did you go with that noise? Cheers and like cooch says cant wait to see the report also. I think you got me climbing the second hill so would like to see the footage. Thanks again.

The Wollondilly River is at a very similar level to last time I did this trek but there is no info available for the Kowmung. We will see when we get there.

Gonna make for a bit of a wet time I think. Looks increasingly like the Kowmung may be impassable but we will at least have a look and if it is go the long way around. Guys with road tyres done worry. Last time I did this it was very wet and we had a Triton with Road tyres with us.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Toddyh03)Thu, 14 Jun 2012 11:15:48 +0000 Re:https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2063358,from=rss#post2063358https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2063358,from=rss#post2063358Great to hear Ray.nondisclosed_email@example.com (ArthurV)Thu, 14 Jun 2012 09:29:36 +0000 Re:https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2063355,from=rss#post2063355https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2063355,from=rss#post2063355Good to hear Ray.nondisclosed_email@example.com (cooch t31)Thu, 14 Jun 2012 05:52:49 +0000 Re: Caves to Caves Winter Run 16 June 2012https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2063351,from=rss#post2063351https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2063351,from=rss#post2063351Good stuff Ray.

Bring your chilly weather gear......wet weather gear.......warm drinks/soup in thermos or heat up during the trip. We all hope for a fine sunny day but actually, adverse weather conditions will certainly help us all to improve our off road driving ability and help us gain a greater understanding of the exy capabilities. Anyway.....bring it on no matter what the weather as there are alternate easier routes as stated in previou posts. What a litte water anyway. Todd, any thoughts on a CB channel as yet. I have a couple of spare small hand helds I can share. cheers all nondisclosed_email@example.com (dlpeek)Mon, 11 Jun 2012 11:15:43 +0000
