| Rating: | | |
| Details: | Balingup here we come. As most of you know Balingup is one of McGyver favourite destination. I have not made a decision whether to camp at Wrights bridge camp site all the other one near Balingup. My understanding Wrights bridge camp site has been reopened, I will make an effort to visit that site before making a decision. You are most welcome to join us on Friday as this is when will be going down or on Saturday at the departure time. I will most probably be running at least one night nav, for those that have been on a McGyver night navigation can testify it is never boring.(Smile). At this time of the year there is a possibility there will be still heaps of mud so please come prepared with all your mud tyre (if you have a set), all your recovery gear as it can get very slippery out there. | |

| Rating: | | |
| Details: | You're gonna have to ask the boss for Friday off, but it'll be worth it. A quick stop at the new and improved Bindoon Bakehouse and then fuel stop at Carnamah. A campfire at Koolanooka Springs on the Friday night then experience the wonder of Kadji Kadji in bloom on a Saturday 4WD run. An easy trek with a chance to pick over some historical relics and enjoy what is (normally) a wildflower wonderland. Friday night campfire and Saturday tour with a leisurely drive home Sunday (although we can make it a little more interesting if you are game with your trailers/vans in tow?) Camper trailers and off-road caravans OK for this trip. Quiet, friendly dogs OK, but there is the usual bait risk! Expect the unexpected - pretty much goes without saying. | |

| Details: | Well it is that time of year again,time to celebrate "Christmas 2010". So I have organsied a trip starting at the entrance to Whiteman Park and making our way off road to Guilderton. I hope to be in Guilderton just before sunset so we can have a fish and chip supper and watch the sunset, with some good friends and maybe a few beers on the beach to toast what a good year of 4x4 we have all had in 2010. If you want to you may even want to throw in a line, or just talk about the one that got away. I will organise for Cheree to bring the cheesecake? Lunch will be somewhere along the way. So don't forget to bring the 4x4's, fishing rod, a chair, and a sense of humour, ha, ha ha, or is it HO,HO,HO. | |
