Join Angelo and Club 4×4 for a spring day trip heading out to Cobaw State Forest, near Lancefield.
It’s only an hour or so from home. This trip is not for the faint of heart. There are very technical sections, deep ruts and plenty of rock climbing to be had. It will require not only a great deal of concentration, but also a well set up vehicle and knowledge on how to handle these types of tracks.

| Trip Planning: | This is an exploratory trip based on some local knowledge and/or online research of track conditions |
| Maximum number of vehicles permitted: | 6 |
| Any specific requirements? | Vehicles with high clearance (2 inch plus) and articulation, aggressive All Terrain tyres/Mud Terrain tyres, experienced drivers. All recovery gear and winches preferable as are traction aides or lockers. There are chicken tracks around some obstacles, but these tracks will challenge the most experienced of drivers. You will lift wheels - unavoidable. High risk of damage if incorrect lines taken - but don't let that scare you off. There are plenty of experienced drivers willing to guide and assist. |
