trip rules and guidelines apply.
We will be using PRS channel 9 for communications for the weekend. There are PRS
repeaters available on channels 1 & 8.
Land access fees where normally payable will be paid by M4WDC & Central Zone.
None of the activities this weekend should leave you with a severally damaged
vehicle, but the non shinney trip may scratch and if unlucky minor dents, no huge
