looks like a real nice place to have a club run, maybe a camp over, the pic's look good.

Were you game enough to drive over that bridge?? or was it just to old?

Pretty bit of forest, no hard driving but some small creek crossings and one stony hill. Dunno wether it's enough for a weekend run though.
That bridge had mounds to stop you getting on to it, it was definatly too far gone. The bridge that stopped us later on wasn't quite as bad, but was too nasty to risk!

Great, look forward to it, Luke.
We'll put enough tracks together up here to make those Brisso's jealous!

That bridge reminded me once, I was doing adventure in my old liberty a while back and it didnt have any planks on it, just two long pieces of timber just like in the photos, I attempted to cross it, but I chickened out, and went back again and inspected the bridge again and i did cross it without any problems, just set the wheel straight and got other side (didnt have camera with me but will take it next time) and on other side is like... new land to adventure.. only had one trail from motorbikes but not wide enough for cars. While I was crossing it I had the wildest fear I've ever had...

The bridge that stopped us was just 5 parrallel logs, the outside one on the left was broken just in from the end and drooped just sitting on the edge of the bank.
The next one in was gone completely.
the other three looked ok,
but not wide enough, you'd have to put two wheels on the broken one...
