We are planning to ride the barringtons on the first weekend of February.
Format is basically two half day loops leaving at 8am on both days, back for lunch and the remainder of the day in the creek on day 1 and back on day 2 for a swim and feed before packing up.
I will lead Day 1, an 80Klm with an optional 20ks at the end for those that want more.
Jonsa will lead Day 2, a 130ks with a fuel drop 3 hours in.
The venue is frying pan camping area in the barringtons see map below. There are toilets and a swimming hole for washing the dust off but not much else, its perfect, and no phone reception in the camping area either …. even better. Ill supply a large Gas BBQ for everyone to use, drinking water and firewood. So bring bike, swag, esky full food and grog, and fuel and you should be sweet. Maybe a roll of toilet paper
Ill be setting up camp on Thursday night and staying through to sunday. Look for the nissan patrol and jayco camper with the bike platform on the back.
Riders for Feb 1 and 2
Squiggle + 1
Jonsa
Boyto
Axel +1
Boze
Murph and Tim
Papa + 1

Cheers.There are some pretty smick trails up that way axel and its been ridden for so long there are trails to suit everyone I think.
Its a pretty cool backyard and not as rough as the wattagans although some of the 4WD access trails are getting pretty bad around jeruselum falls. We avoid them for the most part except for a very short section between the singles.
November 20, 2013 at 5:41 am #251923Hello Mr Squiggle,
I keen for a re visit up to the Barringtons. If you could include me in the numbers that would suit me fine. Did some 4 wheel driving up there on the southern side good fun just soft and wet. Looking forward to a revisit on the two wheeler and a have another excuse to go camping..Cheers G Mac 😆
November 20, 2013 at 8:38 am #251925I might be in for this one in February. Love that area, great singles and awesome hills. Will depend on the weekend you choose.

No worries G, should be a good weekend and its a top spot for camping. We have a secret stash of deadfall and forty minutes with a chainsaw on Friday afternoon and Ill make sure we have a cracking fire for saturday night. Looking forward to it already. Merlyn is booked in also.

Sounds like we might have a few over xmas for the teaser rides. Should be good fun with a bit of exploring and linking some new loops together.

Dont think so andy, plenty of room and time to get riders through.
I know the BMW rally is up there on the 8th of Feb so we will avoid that weekend as it gets pretty packed. Otherwise we should be fine.
