An easy trip into the Big River Forest.
Meeting point at Big River Camp. 9.00 am Sunday April 29.

The tracks are undulating, sometimes steep with long ascents and descents. Sometimes rocky ,not many deep ruts. Ground clearance won't be a problem for most standard cars. The scenery is spectacular.

I would recommend sierras carry extra fuel, because of the remoteness of the area.

Follow the Woods Point Rd from either Maryesville or Warburton, then onto Big River Rd. Big River Camp is a few miles along Big River Rd and is sign posted.
There are lots of good camping spots along the Big River for anyone who wants to camp Saturday night. It is a popular fishing place.

Hoping to be there, if spanner spinning doesn't throw any more curved balls at me .
Ordered wrong seals for coolant pipe, probably because wrong were already fitted and silastic laden.
Hopefully ordered right ones this time, won't take long to fit, when they arrive

Hi Wayne. As I mentioned at the meeting I would like to take part as a passenger in another car. The Jimny rear end is not sounding too good right now and its booked into the car hospital in May. Any offers would be appreciated.

BTW I left the meeting last night early because I was not feeling well. Turned out I had some mild food poisoning. Just made it home before becoming really ill. Better now.
