After would be nicer as there are a few trips that people are going on... will check dates for Rallywoods and post up....
Looks like it's book until 23 July or 30 July.... so any time after then would be gooder...

Open to suggestions but along the lines of deep sticky mud holes, long greasy rutted out overgrown goat tracks, steep slippery rock faces......that sort of thing :D

if we get enough people like last years epic 30 odd truck trip

we could split into 3 groups and do shiny with skid, where you will get muddy, bush scratched and possibly stuck :shock:

then a harder trip, but not too hard like the ruts etc

and an insane idiot trip where you will be winching through bogs up hills and emptying your supply of paslode nails into your sheer pin location :lol:
