into skippers last fri, camped out - chains on the way out front wheels. only got the AT's on that came with truck when i brought it...


ice and snow in every bitta shade, rained about 3hours that night .



saturday just been, picked up a set of ice breakers on the fri so now had two sets of chains!

went in from fairlight with the intention of summiting eyre peak and riding down
took the track as far as it went , finished about 700m
ice and plenty of snow right through valley and river, not much on eyre peak itself that was worth getting to

did a stretch in the river bed.
wouldnt go again without two sets of chains, or decent MT's and diff lockers.. all round track is mint condtion, few iced over puddles , nothing to drastic rutt and washout wise
sunday went up coal pit road and over the top down into doolans creek... had the plan of taking the ridge to ben cruachan locked gate at the saddle, same as down at the first ford

some parts of the road solid ice, some snow ruts, some severly washed out! 2 sets of chains from saddle down to creek, disconnected sway bar at bottom


kept chains on all the way out, warmed up in the arvo - super slippery all the way down to first gate....
any 4wd would have got to the ruins no drama., anything past that was a different story!

solo all trips vehicle wise, only had a disposable on the eyre mission so pics are to come ther still...
on a side note if anyone has a camera lying round they want to sell??
