Robz, Gunna and myself were up at Donnelly creek/Army track today and had a look at Loyd's hut as we were told it had been locked in the past, no locks today and renovations added to it as well, lean to on the side new carpet on the floors, general clean up all around, looks good and compliments to those who did it, well done who ever U are.

Did you try to go up Army Trk from that end or the other end?
I have come down that section but not up. After coming down from Fultons Creek Trk, going up seems tame. (in the dry)

Welcome back Ricki. Havent seen you round for a few days.

The hut your referring to is named Loyd's hut, and yes we went from there up Army track, did it last time when it was dry but this time different story last 100 mitres stopped us even with tires deflated couldn't make it, too slippery on the rocks, had fun turning around and going back down was a bit tricky also, did a bit of sliding on the way down in places. easy to see how people come unstuck.

Yep. I ave seen it in the very wet and didn't bother. I only had HT then.
When we came down, it was so dry it was a dust bowl.

Wouldn't mind a bit of info on that track (GPS co-ord's would be good), hoping to get down that way in September. I was told a few of those tracks are locked.

O'Tooles

They're both good resources, thanks Nick.

Hi there Grit if U really wanted and the timing suited U it would be good to see u at the O'Tooles Gathering in November, a weekend affair where there should be at least 20 fellow 4byers gathered to camp out and try various tracks ect. Check out O'Tooles gathering in Meets in the forums. By the way all tracks are reopened that time of the year so will make for a Great Weekend.

Thanks Grumpy, I doubt I will be able to make the trip down in November - Things will be busy work-wise - I am looking forward to a few trips down as soon as time permits. I've just got the heads-up that some of our Alpine tracks will opening late September.
