  • 2010 GTG Experiences and pics..

    Evenin all,

    Just returned home about an hour ago and hosed down the car. I went home thru the Barrington Tops again and it was sloppy and rough on the Tops main road. I did 1100 kms on this trip.

    The GTG went well with the first nights' gathering of all participants (except for a few stragglers) at the main wool shed where we all sat down for a nice meal and briefing for the coming days planned trips. Each day we split into our respective traveling groups as I allocated to each car. I planned to have different people on differing groups to hopefully make some new mates and have a laugh at each other along the way. Each day our three trips leaders (Samo, Yota and Jcas24) lead a team into either the Barrington's, Stockton beach or up to Mount Allyn. Also I would like to thank Damonat, Jacto and Prado887 for taking on and brilliantly performing the duties of tail end charlies' for their respective groups. Monday culminated in a lunchtime BBQ , at which Mav gave our prizes for many different categories and also a lucky draw. I would like to personally thank Ample Outdoors, TJM Alice Springs and Maxtrax for both the prizes and financial assistance in running this event. Once again, this event would have never eventuated without Mav's brilliant work and thankless commitment to Pradopoint.

    Also, a big thank you to the 'Pradopoint fairly' who decorated both mine and Samo's car on the last night.... :roll:

    Here is a couple of snaps I had on my camera and I am sure there are many better ones to come soon........

    Looks like a good time was had there Matt. Well done guys in organising the event. One day I might be able to make one.

      Yep as Matt has said the GTG was a top event and I reckon all that attended had an excellent time. I will add more shots later as I am completely exhausted. :lol: But here are some more from team 3's Stockton Beach trip:

        Had a great time, thanks to all that turned up, was glad to show off our back yard.

        didnt get to many pics, narrow tracks, bad weather and convoys of 10 didn't leave much of a chance

              The first lot of pics looks fantastic... no doubt the organisers have once again delivered for all those fortunate enough to attend the GTG.

              Can't wait to see more and hear a few tales too. :wink:

              Looks like we'll also have some new contender photos for a new PP banner. 8)

                After all that, did anybody have to use their front recovery points :P

                Not many sand flags on the Stockton run, are they not compulsory there?

                  Yeah I did..

                  I had to hook up Andy's black 120 to the the back of my 120 on the hitch recovery point (to help me anchor in the sand) and do a double line (9 tonne total) pull, too recover a wanker in a 80 series that was about to roll over. I hooked up my winch hook on the return side of the snatch block to my recovery point and it went fine....



                  And no, they are not compulsory at Stocko...

                      well it was a very long drive home (98km) :lol: , i had a great time, met some great people, finally can put some faces to the usernames. the weather was a bit up and down at times but we made the most of it, riverwood downs was a great place to have this years GTG, even if we did have a few run ins with a certain person who could be a bit over the top at times :roll:. I ran 3 day trips to stockton and everyone had a ball cutting loose and having a crack at climbing some of stocktons finest, i would also like to thank MAV and MRS mav for the time and effort they put into organising the event as well as the other fellas for running day trips. i hope everyone had a great time in 2010 and i know i am looking foward to 2011 GTG when it comes around. cheers samo

                          My netbook can't handle photoshop to edit any of the photo's so they'll have to wait but i'll post up the tracks that i recorded.

                          Here's day trip 1 for group 3 to Mount Allyn via Chichester Dam

                          http://www.gpsed.com/track/RHlAc7OjR...Jwk2rj3VBZkpdR

                          if you've got the google earth plugin for firefox then it the satellite and map views are a bit better than the default!

                          will put the others through when my phone finishes uploading them... bloody slow optus network!
