Cobaw Rock Crawling – Take 2 – 21st October 2023

Join Angelo and Club 4×4 for another 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.

Join Angelo and Club 4×4 for a spring day trip heading out to Cobaw State Forest, near Lancefield.

I ran this trip two weeks ago (23rd of September) and we only managed to drive on Alcorns, Mansfield, Muirs, and Pinnacle tracks. We pretty much had to turn back on all the tracks but it was a lot of fun. This time we will do some more exploring and try some different tracks further north.

Head north to Lancefield and we will meet on the main street near the bakery.

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.
