Hello everyone. Really glad to be introducing myself to this fantastic community.

Name: Martin
Location: Dubai
Rig: Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit V8 (ruggedised :grimacing:)

I’m currently building up my rig to take on more local vehicle dependant exploration of UAE and Oman. I had big plans for last year but this was put on hold due to travel restrictions.

Now though I’m looking forward to the borders to opening up soon and getting my WK2 ready to explore and find adventure.

Where abouts in southern Ontario (if you don't mind me asking)? Once things warm up a bit and dry out I will likely be planning a trip around southern/eastern Ontario with one of my rigs ( depending on level of difficultly of trail I end Lanning or how remote I plan to go). I typically run solo but could always use an extra rig around just in case.

About 30-40 min south of ottawa.

That being said I'm starting to realize that most Ontarians consider Ottawa to be central and the area near Kingston/Toronto to be south.

Crag lake was on my list of spots to hit along my trip. I am up near Owen sound but figured a trip up around Kingston, maybe stop at the Wilton cheese factory on on the way by, then up around the Ottawa Valley area, and loop back down around Algonquin and then around Ardbeg/Parry sound before heading home.

I've seen Craig lake mentioned a few times on some other forums, I've also heard that there is a low difficulty trail that starts somewhere near the Canada/US broader and ends near merickville.

the other one that I'm interested in is the TCAT sections in ontairo, but I'm not 100% sure if its 4x4 friendly as other then the BC sections it seems to be mostly moto riders that do that one.

Ya to my knowledge 4x4s are not allowed on the TCAT ( at least most of it.)

As an Albertan I find it weird that "northern" Ontario is about midway up the province and that the northern part of the province is some weird magical fairy land that no one goes to :P
Lol ya it has to do with population density. Technicaly I'm northern Ontario oven though I can drive 4-5 hours one way and be in the US, and drive 18 hours+ in the other direction and still be in Ontario lol.

that's fair, too bad though the area around Dryden is fairly reminiscent of western Alberta right as your getting into the rockies.
