SO POPULAR, WE NEED TO HAVE TWO TRIPS AT THE SAME TIME!

The search for Snow – July 2017
Join Geoff and Club 4×4 for a day trip up to Mt Matlock on the search for some early season snow.
The weather looks cold and wet for mid next week, lets go and see if we can find some snow. Mt Matlock is the current location but if there is better snow elsewhere we’ll change the location.
Itinerary
There is a short 4WD track up to the summit of Mt Matlock (it is easy but just letting you know). We might go for a short drive north of Mt Matlock to have lunch before returning home in the early afternoon.
If anyone is interested we might stop at the Buxton Hotel on the way home for an early dinner.
Snow Driving Trip – July 2017
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.
