Sunday 17th May 26 π
Northern Exploers hosted an adventure to explore some of the Asbestos Ranges. They invited our club and some members from The Girls with the 4x4βs tagged along as well. π
We all met up together at Winkleigh Hall, which just so happened to be that the hall was hosting its big morning tea that same morning.. βοΈ so we were directed to park on the other side of the road, which was just as well because wow, what a huge turn out of 4x4s!
The weather held out for most of the day, with a lil drizzle π§ and fog rolling on later in the afternoon.
We got to explore an old mine, located in around the track along the power lines.
There were washouts and rocky sections to navigate with a few rocks πͺ¨ tryna play tag with our diffs, so ya'd have to re position and start again π
.
Couple of tight sections, yikes! Watch out for pin stripes π«£π¬. Even a 3pt turn thrown in the mix.
There were 2 parts to venture on, we'd just completed the first half, but time was getting on and half of the fleet had to get home, but half of us decided to continue on,
There were a few hectic angles to drive along, hold ya breath and hope for the best.. Note to self.. just don't shut your eyes. π

Unfortunately the view that could have been was blocked by the rain clouds rolling in. But we made it to the end!
and a few of us went down to Badger Head beach and aired up.
Thanks to the guys from Northern Exploers for the opportunity to tag slong on your trip, and thanks to everyone for making us feel welcome and making it memorable.
Will look forward to the next combined trip! π€
Didn't get a lot of photos πΈ, but here's a few from our trip π
