ormeau aint that bad...but it does get boring after a while....there is 2 tracks in there that is worth the trip though. Those being the bumcrack and 100 series hill! They aint signed but thats what us locals call em.

There is some better action to be had at logan village pine forrest if ya ask me though...but no one did...so I didnt say a word

What do they look like. and are they anywhere near the rock face

Ian

Ps. I'm guessing 100 series hill is where most toyota's leave there front diff

[Elysium]

the bumcrack is (in normal conditions) a dry set of waterfalls which flow over rock steps and rutted out sections. the first section is quite easy, and there is a chicken track out...but the further you go up...the harder it gets...and there is no chicken tracks up the top...it ALL or NOTHING!

100 series hill on the other hand is a rather long incline, with rutts, rocks, trees and just about everything else you could imagine. It shows no disrcimination between makes of cars...it detsroys them all! (if ya unlucky that is)

Ormeau is owned by the mining lease and they have been trying to block access for years now, Last i heard they had started putting up the fences to block it off.

Just keep in mind that if you have a stock truck with no clearance you will come out with damage to your sills etc and try and hook up with someone to go out with.

Although there is always people around.

I very much doubt your insurance will cover you as it is tresspassing.

There was an accident a couple of years a go with a truck getting snatched out of the mud pit and the snatch broke and D shackle smashed into both the guys legs, he had to get air lifted out.
