Awesome! So much fun! Surprising smooth, even on hard beach sand! Should have bought some ages ago for the dunes!

Ok! So had an awesome time down arthur, been far too long since i had been down there!
Thurs was spent running in the engine and testing out the new maxxis razr blade paddles! both were successful! Smile

Friday we left Temma at 9am and returned at 5pm, made it to Interview river with many detours in between! Did approx 180km! Decided to run my new 20" kenda klaws and not the paddles on the trip. There were times i was glad i had kobbies and others i dam wished i had the paddles on! ah well!

Sat was spent mucking around the Arthur area at the bowl, beaches, and many inland tracks! I also uncovered what i believe to be a very old overgrown track at the back of 'the bowl'. Just needs to have some use to clear all the leaves, bits of tree and get the corners nice and banked and flowing!

here are some more pics!

nah didn't take the bike down this trip, He never gave up on that side track and ended up getting up there in the end,

Is the track you found at the back of the bowl the one that goes from the top around to the l/h side and back down the bottom? We used to always use it years ago untill the bush took over

I presume you're old man took the pics? They're great shots.
I would love to get down that way to ride and just check out the West Coast. So many people I know say it's awesome, but I've never been there, even without a bike.
So keen on tagging along on the next West Coast ride.

Yeah i want to go down there. Have a few other guys that would be keen as well to make a big trip of it. I have been to the Arthur River Bowl. But it gets a bit boring there after 2 hours though. thats as far as i have been. Would love to go to Temma and ride through to Sandy cape though.

what, both days?
Why not (if some of us have the Friday off) go for a ride and camp for a night (or two) then do powercruise Sunday. (or SAT and Sun)
We have four days guys... lets do it all!!!

Dont ya think both venues are worth it?

We can always car/bike pool down the west coast. I can take 3-4 quads on one of my trailers and cart the riders too.

Just been informed by my wife that we have already invited people to our place for a big BBQ on the Thursday,
Want to do a day ride on Friday at Bellingham or Ragged Jacks or Asbestos Ranges, somewhere not too far away instead?
