Route Assessment
(Route
has been Driven by Myself)
The route starts easy and after about
500m a nasty axle twister on a uphill starts the fun. The route then turns
into another axle twister and climbs over some rocks. It then winds
through the mountain to a uphill which needs some thinking, but easy. As
you decent and get to the rocky's a difficult rocky climb comes up. An easy
route the carries on towards a mud hole, nothing much in winter, and then to the
picnic area. Close to the picnic area the routes goes through a few
ditches which is nothing difficult but requires some investigating on one or two
ditches. The route then takes you through stretch of water. If you
take the left route be prepared for some action but the right route is about 500
mm deep. As you travel the route you'll notice a broken pipe. Drive
around the pipe as it might cut your tires if caught on the edge. Some
more ditches and a long steep uphill takes you back to the entrance gate.
This route has bypasses at the difficult section which allow you more freedom.
