Hi Mike, Thanks for organising this awesome trip!! A great weekend in the alps on some challenging tracks for drivers & vehicles. The view from the top of Billy Goat track were something to see just before that descent. Sorry that Chris missed the fun. Thanks for the company guys, was good fun, hope you all enjoyed it as much as me. Got home at 5:15pm after approx. - 700km absolutely stuffed!! Cheers Richard :D

I am afraid that I was not on the ball as much as Steve125 with the photos. My mind was on the tracks I am afraid. Anyway here is a selection of what I took. I have a lot of video as well but lack the skills to do anything with it.

Billy Goats Bluff from the Helicopter Landing Pad.

First crossing of the Wonnangatta (there were 6 I think in total?)

At the top of Zeka Spur (note the overheating Sierra).

Thanks Mike for the 'easy' trip. Coolant and engine oil are overrated.

I have got Mikes video edited and ready,
but Youtube has been playing up,
so not sure when it will be ready.
Has been sitting on 95% processed for hours.
Will look at a Plan B

Splitting vid into 2 parts now for UTUBE, as Youtube went back to a 10 minute limit.
That will teach me for not reading the service updates notice. :roll:
