old man range, whitcombe road

[imsohi]

hi all i am looking a running a club trip in this area next year and just after some info on track grading(how hard it is)

i am looking at taking trucks through that have a min 33inch tyres, traction aids, some winches, good driving ability and after a challenge.

Are these tracks a good option and is there any others you can suggest around the west otago area.

Many thanks Leigh

I havent been there for a few years but it all depends on what time of year you go, its an easy drive in the summer.

Pretty straight forward for well prepared trucks. Stick to the track, dont be tempted out to the ruts around the side, track holes are mostly rocky bottom. Suspended silt and muck in them so watch your radiators.

I'd probably ask to tag along, was a great trip when I did it 8 years ago.

is a great run have done it at both extremes. Went over one jan in an old surf in 2wd the year later went over in fully set up safari was an absolute mission. Just check the weather forcast first as it is completely exposed and becomes deadly. No joke guy has died from truck slipping off side of hill due to bad weather conditions
