Winch Recovery Course. 

Description:   :  A winch recovery course will be held at Tallarook Forest Training Area.  Please see below for details to the event.

A map will be sent to all participants.

A few things to note:

• Vehicles MUST have a winch and associated recovery gear.
• We would like you to have a Partner or co driver with you. The idea is that your partner will know what to do if a situation should arise while out in the bush. This person will be deploying winch lines and giving directions as necessary.
• Vehicles must be well maintained
  
• Damage could occur during activities due to the nature of the course.
• The course is probably aimed at the more experienced but we will be starting with the basics.

Equipment:  Vehicles must have a winch and UHF radio (A radio can be borrowed from the club).  Usual recovery gear needs to be carried. 

Additional Equipment required:  Camping gear, food and water for the weekend.  Clothing for wet and cold conditions.  Morning tea will be in the bush each day – byo thermos, etc.
