Long Spur Track

You'll discover why Long Spur Track has earned its reputation as a rewarding medium-difficulty challenge near Cheshunt. This 4.7 km route delivers a genuine test of vehicle control and driver skill without demanding extreme modifications, making it ideal for those looking to push beyond beginner terrain. The steep 16% grade sections will keep you engaged throughout, requiring careful throttle management and solid line choice as you navigate the demanding slopes.

The track takes you through authentic Victorian backcountry, with natural terrain that rewards smooth, deliberate driving. You'll encounter rocky sections interspersed with compacted earth, and the elevation changes mean constantly shifting surface conditions that demand your full attention. The scenery is typical bush country—nothing overly dramatic, but genuinely rewarding for drivers seeking real off-road experience rather than scenic tourism.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in top mechanical condition and your tyres have solid tread; the steep sections show no mercy to underperformers. Bring recovery gear and tell someone your expected return time. Twenty-seven vehicles have successfully completed this track, and you can track your own performance through the Newtracs app. Most drivers complete it in around 13 minutes, though this varies significantly based on experience and vehicle setup. Go in prepared and you'll understand why this track remains a popular proving ground for intermediate 4WD enthusiasts.
