The later the better......hopefully someone else clears the trail for us LOL

The problem with late in the season is that the chance of it being closed due to fires is high.

They are doing this province wide. The government does not want to maintain the roads and bridges. The petition will do nothing. Every unused road is losing its budget and they don't want liability.

Racehorse is closed in BC, not Alberta and is a wildlife conservation issue. North Fork in Alberta because driving across a creek is evil.

Non Technical Discussion / Deactivation plans for RADY CR...

Last post by binch - August 20, 2026, 02:18 AM

BC has announced they are planning to deactivate the Rady Ck FSR near Gerard, BC (north shore of Trout Lake).   And there is now push back from the public in an effort to listed to public feed back and rescind this decision.  With the closure of Race Horse Pass and North Fork Pass on Alberta's side of the rockies by the provincial government we understand what this loss to access means.

If you would like to learn more about this trail and it's potential closure you can check out this youtube video: 

If you'd like to add your name to the petition in support of keeping this trail open go to:

Is there any plans on this happening next year?

If the area is accessible I'm sure there would be someone interest in doing the trail again.  We just need someone willing to organise the event and set a date ;-)

Technical Discussions / Re: Defender TD5 Rebuild

Worked on the dash today! I'm covering parts with a leather wrap and keeping other stock finishes. Ones I'm thinking that looks like a factory Land Rover thing is they cut a hole in the heater box for a speaker but since this is an ac version didn't use the hole! So a big fat hole vents all the incoming heat!


So found use for a flubbed panel and covered it! I might actually get some defrost on the windows now!


Then adjusted the opening so there is a larger opening for heat getting into thenac vent system. This sallmhole is where all the heat has to travel through for the floor venting.  Looks like heat is either on the windshield or coming from the ac vents with this design
next started painting up the trim pieces




And finally started the leather wrapping process!







Believe it or not this is progress!
