HELP - CREB track article location

Got the opportunity to finally try the CREB this weekend and need the numbers for property owners, Daintree end, as i want to prop overnight Saturday on track.

Anybody tell me which issue they ran an article on this track? Bloody mag is so large it will take me a week to go through back issues.

Forget it! i tried the CREB and got 300 metres, just far enough to find a spot to do a ten point turn in. Bloody maniacs are using chains and digging trenches you could bury the national debt in. Talk about environmental maniacs! Another guy followed me out in his troopy after persevering and trying to keep going till he nearly rolled it.

Poor bugger was told first bit is roughest, same as I was, but I was also told by a mate that that statement has no truth at all.

Strike the CREB for this equipped, but not totally without me faculties, 4wheeler. Unless someone offers to take me up in a Unimog or bulldozer, or they ever grade the road, which they would be mad to as chain freaks would turn it again!

makes you sick! You get out there and do your best to not muck it up, sometimes bring home more rubbish than you take, put up with useless signs like "this is not the road to Maytown" 10 kliks down a track and come across people who just want to confuse you so as you won't come back. And why? Cos' some frigwit has to macho it bigger than anybody else.

Am I allowed to say on here that I was P d, F g off

That's why I try to use the "no Spin" rule.
If I start spinning I only have 1 more go, then get a tow or get winched.
Less hassles & less damage to both the track & the vehicle(s)

Sorry Baby, I'm out on me own most times, with a hand winch. I'll spin a little. Had to Sunday climbing a sandy bank out of the Palmer River. DOn't tell anyone but also had to use my "diff lock" , the maddock.

Thanks big. At least I can use the numbers if i ever venture that way again.

Is it only up here or do all landowners wait till you are 100ks from phone reception to post a sign saying you have to ring for permission. Bloody joke! And they wonder why people can be found wandering all over their land.

Battla , we done the CREB 3 weeks ago and the car before us used chains also, and we felt the same as u , but as you drive the track you see that all the hills we were hitting at full throttle to get up they drove it without spinning a tyre only leaving a dent about 3mm deep, I'm sure they done less damage to the track than a car without them.
If you stoped at the big mud hole on the Daintree side that is the worst part, there are a lot of other rutted hill climbs but no more holes like that one. We found the car with the chains belonged to one of the property owners on the other side

Don't know about you but when I have run chains for a hill climb - I was a bit reluctant to give it a bootin, axles, CV's etc tend to let go in a big way under the strain of the terrain and traction from the chains. Chains tend not to slip as much as the vehicles without, thats why they are used I suppose.

I agree with Patrol. Some of these tracks do get more damage from the people that are clean spinning rather than chained up. Never the less - if the track is that bad that chains are required, maybe a quick 3 pointer should be the best course of action.

On the other hand, quite often a chained vehicle can settle a crook track down a bit too - fill in smaller washouts etc...
