Labertouche report

Post by jonfromhamilton »

2 GQ patrols
Hilux, 2 Sierras and a stock Triton with muds on it.
We went up Labertouche today and did Robertsons then Bullocks Link and some other stuff after that.
4 out of 6 cars got up the big rock on Robertsons unaided then I had a go and ended up sideways at the base of the big rock, got snatched to safety and the Triton took the chicken track up the side.
All the wider tracked vehicles got through the middle of the big mud pool pit, Jonno and I went up the steep bypass though and I had to be snatched again as I couldn't get traction on the dry and loose dirt.
Had fun on the waterfall on Bullocks link and got the Triton down without touching anything, pretty sweet.
That was the end of the really dodgy stuff, Gentle Annie was being gentle and then it was pretty much a drive back to the carpark at the bottom of Robertsons.
Thanks to Jonno for being there to spot and give direction.

There will be a Youtube clip up soon apparently so I will post a link when I find it.

Tell me about it,
you can never get the feel of being there from pics/vids but I'm sure most ppl will recognise this bit of the track.

I looked like a total bitch in most of the vids :S gotta stay off the brake pedal so much on the 16th
