Side B April Run - Santa Flora to Mahawal (Scouted!)

[3stagevtec]

Update - See scout pics and trail conditions below..

__________________________________________________________________


The last time we went down there, mechanical failure had to turn us back. This time we are looking to hit that trail a little harder and have some good fun in the process. This dry season is making a lot of trails a little easier, so we are hoping to make it all the way this time with that. Still expect Grade 3 conditions though.

I'd like to stress a little on safety during runs, so please walk with proper clothing and foot wear for the forested area. We want everyone making it back home safe. I heard the beach there is kinda ok to bathe in, so walk with a change of cloths for in case the water looks tempting.

Requirements
-Mud Terrain tyres (or very good All Terrains)
-Recovery gear (the more the merrier, ropes, straps, shackles, winch, shovels etc)
-Proper foot wear / clothing, please walk with boots / safety shoes / good sneakers / jeans etc to handle a forest environment. I doubt we'll need any insect repellent, but bring if you have, just in case)
-Food / drinks (no alcohol please) / medical supplies if required
-FRS radios
-A navigator (wife, girl friend, etc, someone know can help assist you over the ruts)

looking good, will present some challenges for the lightly modified vehicles, those better prepared should experience less difficulty..........

Wouldn't be able to get new tires in time for this run, but I'm still going. Once the sun keeps up, airing down my A/T's should get me through.

[droppa]

hope its a good challenge and we can reach the beach this time.....
