Hey folks,
Did a quick afternoon run with TaylorNav on Sunday arvo.
Went up past Aberfeldy and down O'Keefe Track and back along Pluto Link Track, crossed the river and had a crack at Spud Spur Track. Got about 3/4 of the way up the first section and called it quits. Very steep and the rocks just kept getting bigger and the Nav was bouncing all over the place - and I didn't want to break anything. I tried slowing up to reduce the bounce and it stalled. Handbrake struggled to hold and I could not get enough revs up to launch again so Taylor Nav and his mate came and walked me down backwards about 150 metres to a spot where he had chosen to stop, and we could both turn around. Now I have that nagging thought of whether I could have made it over the first lip had I not stalled!!!
Anyway - we went back up Pluto Track - some nice steep and rocky stuff - and back to the Walhalla Road.
Found Violet Town Track and went down to the river and along Red Jacket Track and up Victor Spur Road. Headed for Erica along Walhalla Road, and a couple of beers in the pub.
Some nice tracks and some great unburnt country to be seen. We plan to go back and explore a bit more when we can utilise a full day. When we decide on a date I'll post up for a VNOG trip (possibly 19 or 20 Feb).
Cheers.
