Awesome trip Gav, definitely agree parts of Herne spur is one of the steeper tracks in the VHC, but plenty other just as steep hahah The troopy made light work of it though as any decently setup rig does 👍 What drivers seat you running there? Keep up the great work pal !👍

@@James_James01 thanks James, be interesting to see how they judge the steepness, I’d say total elevation, over the length to the track maybe. It’s a pretty short climb from the last river crossing. But yeah you are right plenty of others that match Herne Spur for sure. The troopy loves being in L4 -and crawling around the place. It’s not built for speed that’s for sure. 🤣🤦🏽 Thanks for the support James. 👍🏼

I've been thinking about coming over and doing an extended tour of Australia for awhile now, what kind of budget range do you think I should expect to get a decent rig to do a lap? Loving the video so far man, the Troopy is a slick vehicle.

I only did QLD, NT , Central Australia and the Simpson Desert, I wasn’t in a rush and wanted to capture everything in all the regions.

Yep its steep. Dont think its the steepest though. Seems to climb forever. We did it a few years ago in the rain, late afternoon, nearly bumped our heads on the moon. Rain made it a bit of fun.

@@landydave1000 it’s definitely not the steepest, but I reckon for elevation gain over the distance traveled it would probably go close.
