Well had a good weekend out at LCMP.
Trip out friday sucked a bit, got all the way to the entrance of Sunday Creek Rd (bout 40km from LCMP) only to get a road closed sign. Rang the rangers office to see if Mt Buggery was open, and they said it was also closed (found out later it wasnt) so we had to do a 150km detour via Kilcoy, pain in the arse!
Got to camp and was setup around 3ish, then we went to go do some tracks. As plenty of other people have mentioned on the forums, it is crazy how much the place has changed with the floods. Went to do claw gorge and test track but both these are impassable so we went and did Cruiser Canyon. Its changed a heap, with lots of nice lines to take now.
Was myself in my 40, Aaron in a new cruiser ute on 35" creepies and Val in a std. crusier ute on 33s. Was easy enough for 3/4 of it, but for 100m or so around the ledge section its nuts. We got the 40 through with lots of rock packing and guys on a strap on the front. But the utes wouldn't have got through without panel damage so they turned around. I love having the tube fenders/flares/sliders now, lots of rubbing on them, but no damage.
It was about 8pm now after getting out of Cruiser Canyon, and I couldn't go the normal easy way back to camp due to massive erosion gullys. Had to go up Rav Ridge then around through the Rain Forest Section to get back to camp. Was a bit average at times as we had no map, no torch, and were by ourselves, so wasnt keen on getting stuck. All worked out ok in the end but.
Some pics.
Surprising how much still fits in with the top gone and rear seat fitted.
