Yeah blame Telstra, my internet is going super slow so uploading photos isn't happening tonight.

Yep a good weekend, not all full on, some very enjoyable and relaxing driving as well, A beautiful relatively easy drive along a 20k stretch of beach today was a great end to a good weekend, the sighting of a pod of Dolphins cruising by not far from the beach was a real highlight today.

And helping save a new 200 series from an early grave after the owner thought he could get down the beach with 40 psi in his tyres was good as well, yep we found him sitting on the chassis rails a few metres from the water with the tide coming in. Maxtrax to the rescue once again, after a lot of shoveling and letting his tyres down to 10psi.

Will try for some pics tomorrow if the internet is fixed, got some beatiful scenery shots of where we were.

Cheers Andrew

6 PSI..... what more can I say!!!! one hell of a beach drive.....

Off course with the superior torque provided by the Diesel engines the others were able to do the same beach at 12psi!! Maybe in your search for sponsors Dave; you might find one that can donate you a tyre gauge that works! Just a thought.

A few pictures from the weekend recce



The kids found the best natural slippery dip around!



I think even one of the big kids had a go on the slippery dip, was it fun Wooley.

No, it was steeper than you'd assume and less fun than you'd wish.

Not to mention I almost died of heart failure.

And just a couple more pics from the weekend recce.



And a few Dolphins just cruising past while we lunched on the beach, it doesn't get much better than that!



And just to finish the weekend we recovered this guy who had put his nearly new 200 series down to the chassis rails, gotta love the Maxtrax.



If it hasn't happened already; details regarding payment for the GTG should be out very soon!

So does this mean there will be an email waiting for me when I finally get home tonight? Can not wait to pay to really show I am coming, even when I have already booked the boat to get there.

Received my email but can't work out how to pay on my phone. I'll check it out when I fire up the computer. But I'm definitely coming! Might have to get some Maxtrax

Very wise investment - the sand at Beachport is very soft!

Yes, given some of the sand tracks that the 2012 GTG attendees are being sent down, Maxtrax probably should have gone on the Minimum Vehicle Requirements list!!
