Strata Florida & The Gap Rd Camping Weekend

Great vids Ste, dribbling now with excitement.

See what you mean about the bomb hole, gonna be a great one.

Anyone breaks anything going that direction they will need a Chinook to get out.

Better start the protests now then

FREE THE FOG 12 :lol:

Ive posted the details on CRAG and will report any feed back.

Personally I think if we do go ahead the less time spent on the lane the better, meaning going down hill as opposed to going up the steps.

I agree.
Not the sort of lane to be loitering around on.

I know Graeme wants to lead his group uphill, if they go up last, is that an issue? we will have sent most cars around the downhill route. Cant say anyone going in his group arent aware.
Is it worth seeing interest in anyone going into Graemes group?

I'm for downhill.

me to,, down hill all the way

i've been told i'm going downhill :lol:

that was off the wife :evil:

Sorry not being funny here, but why is it you come down it but not go up it please

It Seems a bit Crazy to me that does :wink:

If you look at the rock steps on the vids and the blown bridge (the area with the steep up and down crossing a shallow stream in the middle) they are easier in one direction, doing them in the "Harder" direction will mean more time on the lane and not accounting for breakages, you are in a quite remote area and if you break down its extremely difficult to get out if gravity is not on your side, hence the going down option.

The steps have been eroded quite a lot and they where a challenge three years ago when I last did it, and going at the blown bridge is now a challenge both ways I believe but the general way is still doable, where going up the steeper way without axle mods is a challenge and something you dont want to reverse out of.

We feel its only fare to point out the difficulties and if you do need towing out upwards you may need to buy the guy towing a new clutch, this is not and exaggeration.

Ill be going down, and the added bonus is that direction knocks off about an hours drive to the next lane :wink:

well im easy, but would like to go down

Not sure on that one Chris, not done it I dont think, whats it like?

Nope you can go both ways but one way is now considerably more difficult than it was a few years ago, though the views are outstanding on the downward direction

Darn it, it must be done then.........gotta get the paint off the wagon somehow :wink:
