Make sure you take plenty of pics, especially of that washout. One of my most favorite tracks that one, as you well know JR. That trip was a blast.

I don't plan on breaking it, but I don't want to be scared of using it either, otherwise I'd make it look pretty and take up shopping :lol:

Did Mt Greenland 2 weeks ago. Awesome!
No spade work required but some pretty serious chainsaw action was needed. There was a rata across the track half way up with a saw chain already jammed in a cut. Someone had tried in vain to move it before us.

We did No name Rd and Liverpool Bills the following day. No Name was just a pleasant shortcut from Hoki to Dunganville but enjoyed it all the same. Didn't bother with Cockeye.... as Cass says, it was a gorse-fest last time I was there about a yr ago.

Liverpool Bills didn't look like anyone had been through for a long time (I last did it about 3 yrs ago). When we got to the top of the climb out (Mt Fox end) we found out why.....a load of pines across the track. Had 3 chainsaws between us but still took a good while to get through it all. All clear now though. There is some deceptively soft shingle in the lower part.....managed to get my chainsaw wet while it was in the truck, a first for me :wink:
