Watagans- 17th June *Pics post 17*

[Crunch]

Meeting again at the Sparks rd interchange on the F3.
8:30am meet for a 9am leave
Bring- Lunch, Drinks, 4B ( :roll: ) etc
Expect a variety of tracks, but lots of support from others if you get stuck.
No plans to take on any (well, too much) damage.

If there is enough interest, Ashlee (Mrs) and I are thinking of spending the night and doing a few more hours on the Sunday aswell.

Try looking at the first post with the map

[junior80]

hey guys I might not be able to get my new tyres in time for the 17th. I don't think I can got with the bald as all terrains that are on the car at the moment. so, I'll try to get them for the day but It it might not happen in which case I'll have to forfiet this one, unless it is able to be posponed till the weekend after.

anyways, tell me what you think.

[simple]

i'm new to the forum and not sure how extreme you guys are but after looking at the photo's of the last watagans trip i thought i'd better check before i put my name down.
would i do alright with my gu ute that's pretty stock with a 1-2 inch lift and all terrains.
i've got a bit of experiance and drive alright, just haven't done many mods yet.
cheers, simple

[Crunch]

Yep simple, You'll be fine. We had an 80 with A/T's no lift, a stock 60 and a stock disco last trip, so you'll be fine in the GU.

Hi, I'm new here and very keen to tackle the Watagans. I have a GQ LWB std at the moment yet have purchased a 3" lift kit goin to fit tomorrow. Just wondering considering how much this 4.2 petrol engine sucks......is 80lts enough for this trip?
Are there any servos after the meeting stop?
At estimate how many kms are we goin to cover?
Are there any other GQ petrol Patrols coming?

[XJ Mitch]

sorry,can;t make it.a previously arranged /cancelled mountain bikin trip to gloucester tops has been re confirmed and it;s something we;ve had planned 4 quite a while.have a safe one :)

[The Green Beast]

There is a couple of seros around the area that you can fill up before we leave. I've got a petrol guzzler to and feel your pain. :D

BTW 80 litre should be enough depending on the tracks but I usually use about 60 litres in mine and that averages 30 litres to 100km driving like Miss Daisy. :o

Cheers Mick.

[Crunch]

Full tank should be fine in the GQ. Infact, you prob won't even need that. There are servo's etc close by too.

Not sure of the names of the tracks, but if you guys want to lead, you're more than welcome!!

[junior80]

Unfortunatly I may have to pull out guys, I wont get my new tyres before the end of the week and I'm certainly not going to go out on the bAlld Terrains. I'll have to wait till the next one.

thanks guys.

[Crunch]

lol @ bALLd terrains.

This is still going ahead everyone, the Saturday at least.

There will be plenty more for those that are missin out too!

[Crunch]

the BBQ is coming, so BYO meat if you want hot lunch...

[junior80]

I don't really know Sean because it's the first time i've been to the south end of the watigons. Although I do know that when we got to the top of it we where only about 500 metres from Smoco corner which we did after that in the dark.

Cheers Mick.

[junior80]

see that 80, that would have been me too :P

just out of interest, did it go hard or need a snatch every run? are there any more pics of it?

[ed.]

Nice pics there boys.
Looks like I'll have to think twice before bringing my softroader to forum meets ;D

[mudpiggy]

shame I missed that one but i would love to come on the next adventure up that way guys...

He needed a couple of snatches but it was only because he was to lazy to let his tyres down. :D I did most of the tracks in 2wd so they wheren't real hard tracks.

Most of those tracks have chicken tracks around all the big holes too.

Cheers Mick.

Every now and than we run trips that cater for the more stock sort of 4wds. I'm sure someone will oranise another one soon. ;)

Cheers MIck.
