Narbethong Hills and Slippery Places - Stuart Gibson Trip Leader


Narbethong  - Stuart Gibson Trip Leader

 

Hills and Slippery Places
This trip into the Narbethong Forest will include some technical tracks at the more challenging end of the Medium rating.

Expect a little bit of bush touring between some testing obstacles including some mud (but not too deep), some slippy hills, a water crossing and some fairly steep hills.

There are only a couple of areas of itchy and scratchy and if you go slowly through them you can emerge without any new pinstripes.

This trip is ideally suited to those who want to stretch their skills without going over the top difficult.

Trip leader special/additional requirements

Mud Terrain tyres or aggressive All Terrain tyres
Water Bra or Wading Sheet


Special Note on Referendum
Since listing this trip the Feds have decided to hold the Voice Referendum on the same day. If at all possible you should arrange Early Voting or Postal Voting but if you cannot we should finish the trip in Maryville well before the 6:00pm poll closing time.






Vehicle set up requirements
