DIFFICULT TRIP - Cobaw Adventures

Trip Leader -Simon Maiwald & Beckie Maiwald

Meeting at 9am at BP Truckstop Cobb and Co Road, Carlsruhe VIC 3442.
We will depart at 9:30am heading into Cobaw State Forest and will explore the difficult tracks. Hopefully we find some mud too.

This will be difficult in dry weather and may become a little harder if wet.

Bring along lunch, snacks, warm clothes, and a change of clothes if it looks like it's going to rain. 

AT/Mud tires (min 33inch will be beneficial) will be required and your vehicle needs to have higher than standard clearance as there will be deep ruts to go through.
