NSW: Baal Bone Gap & Newnes SF, Saturday 17th January

[glen_ep Addicted PP Member Find all posts View Profile Close glen_ep]

Starting near Ben Bullen we'll head through Baal Bone Gap and over to Newnes. Baal Bone Gap may be a little wet and muddy but I don't expect the conditions to be too bad, apart from one large rock step up which can be seen on YouTube videos. What we can cover at Newnes will be based on remaining on time.

Please read the following disclaimer if you wish to participate on this trip. If you choose not to accept the terms & conditions therein, you are requested not to attend: http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...claimer-Notice

Track Difficulty:
Easy to medium, but 2 rock sections in Baal Bone Gap may be considered difficult.

Meeting at: McDonalds at Richmond, cnr of March & Eastmarket St at 8:00am, departing around 8:20 am http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en&bi ... CBoQnwIwAA

Finishing time is usually around 4-5pm. If you need to leave earlier there will be an opportune time immediately after Baal Bone gap is completed (before Newnes).

Bring: 4WD, lunch, water/drinks, camera, air compressor/recovery gear if you have it, sense of adventure.

I will come with one friend (passenger) who was wishing to have a real 4WD trip for years. This is the first time with him.

Apologies, that was a typo on my part. 32s without a lift. 33s would be nice but they might rub just a little haha.

Looking forward to tomorrow. Hoping the jetlag I've being suffering from doesn't come back tonight. Looking forward meeting some new people.

Was thinking of your outing today. WHAT a divine weather ... Hope you had a great day

Ahh it was pretty warm out there yesterday - a few of us got sun burnt !

A great day out, and we managed to cover quite a lot in the day. Starting off near Ben Bullen we ventured through Baal Bone Gap. Apart from some puddles the entire area was VERY dry.

The first challenge of the day was a big one. lighting4life/James done a great job of keeping his cool as we helped him get the heavy 80 up the big step.
