Narbethong Recce - Stuart Gibson Trip Leader


Narbethong Recce - Stuart Gibson Trip Leader

 

A recce of the usual tracks
This trip into the Narbethong Forest will seek out some technically challenging tracks for a Medium rated trip to be listed in October. This trip will aim at the more challenging end of the Medium rating.

In line with policy I have rated this Recce one level higher at "Difficult".

We will travel at a reasonable rate in order to cover as much ground as possible. Expect some slippery hills and a couple of mud puddles and a water crossing.

  

Trip leader special/additional requirements

Electric Winch
Tree Trunk Protector

Vehicle set up requirements


Please note that this trip is more suitable for vehicles that have been lifted with larger aggressive All Terrain or Mud Terrain Tyres. 

All vehicles need to be equipped with an electric winch. 

Vehicles with good articulation (disconnecting front sway bars) will have an advantage. IFR vehicles may have to bypass some obstacles. 

Vehicles with one or more diff locks will have an advantage although it will be possible to complete with only traction control.
