Club 4×4’s first snow driving trip of the season is on. If you have never driven in the snow before, it is a very special experience and a lot of fun.
Itinerary
The plan is to camp below the snow line on Friday night. We’ll find some snow on Saturday and return to camp below the snow line again on the Saturday night. Sunday we’ll do a short drive then finish the trip.
The Location of the trip will be determined by the weather conditions and where there is snow. However it’s likely we’ll have a 2.5 – 3.5 hr drive Friday night and the same to return to Melbourne on Sunday.
