ashley night trip?

Postby lexulance » Sun Jun 16, 2013 12:16 pm

Hi all just putting the feelers out there,is there any interest in doing a night trip up the ashley,heading up from rossiters rd,as the lower ashley is getting very cut up at the moment,and would be a lot of carnage at night?
not sure when as yet

i only said winch really as a highly reccommended,and snorkel as some of the bog holes are bonnet deep in water,all depends how much rain and the river level over the previous week,and well trunk protector,most people have one or two on a trip so not mandatory :lol:
