The Pajero 4WD Club is holding its annual inter-club self guided tour of East Victoria, Australia, called CHALLENGE '98 on the 21st and 22nd March 1998. This event is again being organised by an enthusiastic group of club members.

The trip is open only to members of VAFWDC affiliated clubs. As the route is typical of tracks used by clubs in their normal 4WD trips, the trip is suitable for families wanting a challenge, and can be done in a standard 4WD with good off-road tyres. Part of this challenge is being able to handle the endurance of up to 24 hours continuous navigation and 4wdriving.

Co-Ordinator: Shane Murry

Administrator: Karen Ingram

Challenge '98 will be similar in length to previous years. It will start around 10am on Saturday and will finish on Sunday morning. The approximate distance is 350 - 400km. Petrol and diesel fuel will be available en-route.

There will be approximately 80 grid references to plot as well as track notes, stick charts, compass bearings and map traces to follow. You may use maps other than those specified at the driver's briefing, but all instructions will be regarded as correct only on the official maps.

This year there are again optional hard sections, which may be hard 4wdriving or hard navigation, or both! Some sections will be speed limited, and these may have secret radar checks. This trip is not a race. Your planning of travel and time does require some preparation though, but anyone caught speeding by our radar cameras, or acting in a manner detrimental to the 4WD Code of Ethics shall be asked to leave the event.
