TRIP RATINGS AND REQUIREMENTS
The Motley Crew 4wd and Social Club has adopted the below ratings in line with 4wd QLD and national classifications. While these ratings cover all manner of trips from social to extreme trips, The Motley Crew do not sanction extreme trips or trips that cause intentional vehicular or environmental damage.
It should be considered that while all endeavours are made to rate a trip accurately unforeseen circumstances can change conditions (eg wet weather). If at any time you are uncomfortable or not confident with the conditions or an obstacle on a trip simply notify the trip leader. We as a club do not attempt a track or obstacle without all members of the trip being comfortable.
