Anyone up for a run on next Saturday 18th? No particular route, just looking for some mud pools.

I might be able to come if I"m welcome, I'm just stock XJ though.  I'm not sure if I'll be out Saturday, but definitely Sunday.

i was  :-\ me the gf and the dog... it was our first time at Maclean so we just wanted to do some light exploring... i know it's bad, but there were others on the trails and we tried to stay away from any crazy stuff... we ended up going the wrong way at the loading/unloading area, and rather than going on maclean creek, we went the opposite way on the shared use trail. there were some easy/moderate side trails from it which we took and had some fun on (lots of puddles in that area, but the ground under the water was hard so pushed through no problems). We split off at one point and ended up all the way at marker 580 (was a bit scared going up the BIG hill before you get to that marker, and even more going back down). We kept going for a bit from 580 in both directions through some occasional deeper ditches, but got to areas that we just didn't want to go through alone, so just headed back the way we came. Lots of fun, but occasionally hard on the nerves  :P
