Well, we did our bit
All 3 of us from WPC..
2ShortGQ, myself and Patty02 (newbie) rocked up and joined in with a total of 66 vehicles from 16 clubs! Quite a few vehicles..!
I think TheFlyingBadger (the original trip leader) had a headache or something
The day was pretty well organised.
The idea was that we were broken up into 3 groups, each clearing a different section of trhe track. Each vehicle did his 100m of clearing then leapt-frog to the front and did another 100m, with a few trailers following from the rear.
The only thing that got me confused at times was whether I was supposed to clear the 100m behind me or in front of me
Anyway, a huge amount of bottles and cans were recovered, as well as a few flares, mudflaps and other vehicular debris left as evidence of some hard fought battles with a few hills, rocky outcrops and mudpits....
It was amazing to see how many bottles were strewn about the various "challenge" areas... It's obviously becoming a spectator sport
And who brings a huge flat screen TV all the way to the middle of the track just to dump it? Wouldn't waiting for verge clearance be a better option?
It is nice to see that the powerlines is becoming a family track.. Well, I say that based on the baby doo-doos that were disposed of in the bush.. Obviously mum and the baby came along for the ride
It would be an interesting exercise to analyse the cans and bottles that were recovered.. They might offer a clue as to the brands of beer favoured by your average 4WD yobbo.
Fortunately the weather was good to us.
But I have to admit, after the bit of rain recently, I was disappointed in the lack of mud.
2ShortGQ and I decided to give the free "after clean up" barbie in Mudaring a miss and head stright on home after the cleanup to attend to other more pressing domestic issues. But credit to DEC for putting it on.
I'm sure DEC were suitably impressed and Track Care suitably proud of the turnout from the clubs!
