Re: 11-Jun-2011 - Toolangi - Hard
Attendee List:
Mika – sierra
Greg + Fel – sierra
Darryl + Grumpy Marty – sierra with doors and full soft top (girls)
Stevie – lwb sierra
Quick Trip Report:
We all met up in Kinglake for a quick de-dooring exercise of Mika’s car before cruising over to Rocky Track.
Rocky is in good shape at the moment with a couple of steps being quite well exposed which made for a good challenge. It should be noted that Darryl drove around the entire track at this point (disgraceful effort!).
Next up was Blowhard and Cockpit tracks in reverse (down), before we turned around and drove them in the right direction (up).
A minor delay was experienced due to an unseated bead on darryl’s sierra which turned into a little bit of an exercise to sort out but between the 4 cars, we had enough resources to get moving again.
The group then travelled to Aeroplane track (up) which was a less steep version of blowhard again. We encountered 4 cars full of young men out on a bucks weekend wearing suits with gumboots which was good for a giggle.
The final track of the day was the good one – we tackled Jonno’s track which is a steep climb with loose rocks on a clay base. The damp clay made for a great challenge which kept us entertained until twilight. Notably, Darryl drove around this section too :shakes head:.
All up it was a fun day out with a few good challenges along the way. We had some great weather too which made it very pleasant to be out in the forest.
Marty had his camera there i think - so perhaps he will be forthcoming with some photos.

Marty - didnt you have a camera on this trip?
I dont recall seeing you helping to push the cars around so surely you took a couple of photos?
