D'Aguilar Range Day Trip
Have just returned from a short day trip up to The Gantry on the D'Aguilar Range. Great first time off-road experience in our Exy and loved every minute of it!
Thanks to Jamie (Black Thunda), Vicki, Cody & Alex for coming along and showing how it should be done. Thanks also to the other ring-ins (non Exy drivers - Pathfinder, Prado, BT50 & Hilux).
We started at the Nudgee Rd Servo (kept waiting by the others) before heading up the highway (via a "scenic detour" - sorry Jamie ) to the Crown Hotel in Dayboro. Then followed the totally accurate directions from the "Dirty Weekends" guide to The Gantry (Mt Mee). The "A-Break" section was definitely the highlight of this short trip and we would love to do it again soon. Our friends (who had only previously done beach work) loved the experience and I think were amazed at how effortlessy the Exy's climbed the steep ascent!
I have a few photos to show, but I'm not sure how to upload them.
All in all, we had a blast and can't wait to tackle our next trip - maybe O'Reilly's or perhaps something down towards Stanthorpe (with an overnight camp?).
PS
Jalal - very glad I installed the bash plate. Would have bashed the plastic one off a couple of times, if not!
