Join Richard and Club 4×4 on an exciting adventure to the infamous Ellis Track. Ellis track has a well deserved reputation as one of the most challenging tracks in Victoria nee Australia (http://blog.mud-maps.com/blog/2013/category/australias-most-difficult-4wd-track) . This trip is not for the faint of heart and only those members with well setup rigs and experience should book.
Itinerary
The plan will be to attack Ellis track (which should take all morning at least), then we will cruise around checking out some of the local tracks.
Note that if it raining that the trip may be completely changed. The track is very difficult in the dry; in the wet it is virtually impassable without damage. Still meet at identified location and conditions will be evaluated. There are plenty of other tracks in the area, but nothing so challenging.
