Virgin Bash Test Weekend

Ok first off i would just like to say a big thank-you to Will for getting the car done. We didn't think we were going to be able to go on this weekend bash because the car wasn't safe. So on Friday i went down to Byron bay and bought another car (EJ Holden another bash car that was all ready to go) just in case the valiant wasn't ready. But we got the phone call about 3pm Friday afternoon saying valiant was right to go. This is at 6am out front of Joys house loading up the car. We all meet at Beenliegh Mcdonalds then we set out along the back of Beaudesert valley thru to O'Rielly's. Stopped for morning tea, then we did some bush bashing turning left into Duck creek Rd-Bumpy-Bumpy-Lumpy-Large Bumps-Bumpy hairpin-Grid-Another bump just like the others. Select low gear-washout-more bumps.




Regroup we will be stopping for lunch at Kyogle. From there we will be off road so watch out for the bumps and grids.


Arrive at Briggen Camping Grounds
