Mt Buangor/Langi-ghiran State Park overnight 4WD trip

Venom · Post by **Venom** » Tue Jan 12, 2010 1:45 pm

EDIT: Dates for this trip are currently Fri 12th- Sun 14th March

Hey guys,

So it seems like there are a few of us interested in an overnight 4WD trip, so heres my plan. I intend for the trip to cater to unlifted subaru's, however this will definitely be a 4WD trip so you need to accept the possibility of some scratches, dints, dings and under body damage. Main criteria would be willing to get your car and yourself dirty and be willing to have a go!

The dates will be Fri the 12th March through to Sun 14th March. Rough plan which will be subject to change:

Friday arvo/evening meeting point (optional!): Bacchus Marsh McDonalds.

Friday night camp (optional!): Lerdergerg State Park.

Saturday morning meet point: Bacchus Marsh McDonals.

Saturday: 4WDing in Lerderberg/Wombat State Forest.

Saturday night camp: Mt Buangor State Forest.

Sunday: 4WDing in Mt Buangor and/or Langi-ghiran State Park.

Snatch strap, D-shackels and appropriate tow point highly recommended. Shovel, tyre gague and air compressor would be handy.

Please post your interest below, with details of your preferred dates. I would like to confirm a date relatively quickly so people get a chance to plan their calenders accordingly.

Cheers,
Rhys

Sounds good Rhys. I'd like to do the two nights and am currently open to any weekend EXCEPT the one after valentine's day as we usually head out to Picnic at hanging rock - at hanging rock

I'll be keeping an eye on this post.

Ok, update - it looks like the 20th/21st are the only dates I'm available

If there are any changes I'll let you know.

If I can't make it with the majority of those available on another date, I'll grin and bear it

Cheers

Definitely interested in this one, but will depend on date, I may have to work

Well since you're both the only interested parties so far i'm happy to organise a date that suits you both. It will be good to have the GOR crew on the road again! Subaruby when will you know what weekends you are free in Feb? Another option is to delay it untill March, with a day trip in Feb to tide us over. Bennie do you know what days you are free in March?

Cheers,
Rhys

March: Currently just the 6th and weekend that's near the 27th are the ones that I'm not available for. Maybe go for the long weekend??

April: Not the weekend of the 18th - I've got a WRX rally drive that day

Cheers

Weekend of the 12th-14th of March seems like a goer then. I will edit the first post with this date, as long as nothing else changes

Think the long weekend is the 6th, 7th and 8th March?

Will be there friday night, saturday, and sunday morning. I have commitments on sunday in Werribee gorge climbing, so how long I hang around on sunday will depend on what we're up to and when I need to be helping out at climbing.

Looking forward to it!

Cheers,
Owen.

I'll be writing this in my diary

Can't wait! I'll talk to you about another trip idea I've got while we're on this one - its BIG and will require some prior planning for everyone!

Keep us posted!

Cheers

Hey Victorians,

I am currently stuck in melbourne on a course Subaru less. I am way keen to come check out every ones Subi's and stop getting stuck in my room... Extreme boredom has sit in. So if anyone has a free seat and some spare camping gear let me know. I am happy to chip in for fuel / beer / food. I am in Macleod area, but can get anywhere i can catch a bus or train to.

Also i have experience working almost every type of Subaru and now exactly what a subaru 4wding can do! :-p

If you do drop me a PM

Thanks Matt

Hi matt,

You are welcome to a seat in Scoobs, although I won't be there for the entire time as I said earlier...

...Will be there friday night, saturday, and sunday morning. I have commitments on sunday in Werribee gorge climbing, so how long I hang around on sunday will depend on what we're up to and when I need to be helping out at climbing...

I can get you back to macleod on sunday night or you can hitch with someone else if they are out your way.

let me know via PM if you want to ride in the lib

Cheers,
Owen.

Thanks Owen i will let you know in a few days as i need to find out what time i get off on that friday from course and whether they are going to try and make us work the weekend.

Also 92 Liberty must be chasing me, i just finished helping my bro put a EJ20H in his wagon back in Townsville. LOL!

Matt, you've got a seat in Ruby Scoo for the sunday if you want to stick around. I've got no idea where Mcleod is but can get you into melbourne to catch a train, I live north of melbourne...

So looking forward to this trip! Still gotta clean out RS after the robe trip

I also found half a beach on top of the motor where the High pressure spray didn't get to as I did it quickly...

Cheers

Bennie

Still happy to pick you up from Macleod Matt on Friday night, but won't be able to get you home on sunday...
