SQRLPWR Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 No surprise this months club run will be Bump & Grind There's a possibility I might be able to make this one, so here are the details; MEETING 09:00 Tims Bayer's Lake opposite Halifax Chrysler DEPARTURE From Tims @ 10:00am sharp PREREQUISITES Have enough fuel, food and water for the whole day. All vehicles should have proper front and rear recovery points. Rigs without will be turned away. Be sure to review the 'Trail Rating Guide', 'Trail Risk Matrix' & 'Basic Requirements' before deciding if the trail is for you and your rig.TRAIL INFO LOCATION - Beechville, Halifax RATING GUIDE - 1st section of the trail 3.5 (Rugged Trail) Last section of the trail 4.0 (Challenging Trail) APPROX TOTAL TIME : This can take all day. Plan for a full, fun packed day! FULL SIZE DO-ABLE - YES BASIC REQUIREMENTS - https://www.backcoun...ent-guidelines/ TRAIL NOTES It's called Bump & Grind for a reason, and is a personal favorite of many Backcountry members. The trail is in 2 sections; a regular trail with a mix of mud, bush, hill climbs, side trails and giant rocks for crawling on, followed by a challenging rocky section with plenty of opportunity to Bump & Grind ;-) For folks who don't want to tackle the last rocky section, there is a place to park and hop in with somebody else. There is no trail exit - we turn around at the end of the trail and run back the trail back to the entrance. IMPORTANT INFO We have to traverse a maintained walking/cycle path in order to access the trail head. To help avoid damage, complaints against the club and ultimately trail access closure, please tread lightly and respect the integrity of the entrance and the walking path. Everyone is to air down and prepare at the Tim Horton's as we are NOT stopping at the trail entrance to avoid drawing any adverse attention. SEASONAL INFO It's tick season, so be prepared to come with tick repellent and protection like deet and proper clothing to protect yourself.

sar4x4 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'm actually hoping to come out and play. But I won't know till the last minute. Busy with a different set of 'family' priorities than those that kept me busy the past summer. But by mid-summer should be all settled into a house with a biggish driveway and a biggish garage so that I can work MUCH more efficiently on my rolling stock...........

sar4x4 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 I'm 'allowed' to come if I get the priority house To-Do list done first. And I worked hard on that this weekend! And almost finished the priority list. Because no Honey Do list is ever done! lol I don't really need permission, do I? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
