Adelaide 4x4 Park Play Day

[Playdoh96 Member Find all posts View Profile Close Playdoh96]

Going to have to thank Justin1979 for organizing the trip. Was fantastic to meet such top bunch of guys. Spewing we couldn't stay the night. Some noble efforts from Torrie72 for some of the climbs he tackled and conquered. Commiserations to ondaboat, valiant effort and so close, was lucky to walk away with only busted up tank guard. All and all was a very entertaining day. Can't wait for the next one. Thanks guys

A very good weekend. I was very slack and didn't take a single photo :-(

Good to meet a few new guys and good to catch up with some regulars again.

Ben in the 90 series with his 33's certainly made short work of most of the tough stuff, unfortunately others who tried to follow Weren't as successful not mentioning any names or pointing to anyone in particular Ondaboat

Cheers Andrew

I agree, it was a very good weekend. A blend of old and new, some guts and glory and some wise decisions not too also.

There was nearly a catastrophic event today. Some pro comp Pootrol hooked his winch up to the front of my rig. Dam lucky for him he saw common sense and disconnected before I pulled his 37's off the escarpment and then burnt his plasma rope. As if I need assistance, I rescue AJ!!!!!!!

Was good of the two pro comp rigs to take us out too and be part of cutting some new tracks. Once in a life time opportunity and I'm sure we are all grateful.

He was actually going to let that Pootrol de-flower me too!

G'day Big Trev
Fancy that, your name was mentioned quite a bit on the week end, mostly in regards to that "Drive it like you stole it" Attitude!
Good to hear from you again.
Catch you at the next outing?
Cheers
Troy

Had that Nikon in your hand quite a bit Micheal, should have captured some good shots.

Lol. you would never see a bloody Tofu Aussie steak, or an Aussie lentil burger.
Embrace the Beef Micheal.

Well seems for all the times I had the camera in my hand i havent got much to show for it!
A bunch of crap shots but here is one of Ben climbing the black rated section next to camp.
What a machine the 90 is and yes that is the angle of the climb!


MLC's recovery vehicle...


And for the punters at home, Australia let us rejoice for we eat cows and sheep...

Yep that was a beauty of a steak Micheal - never cut one quite like that when I was a butcher!

Benji and I had a great time on the weekend. A big thanks to Justin for getting the ball rolling and to the Fourplay 4x4 guys for having us on their great property as their first group booking. The guys are definitely onto a winner and once fully setup the park will no doubt be a huge hit.
Here's a few pics Benji took and maybe some low res video if it works - dodgy camera. Gotta get a go pro!

A nice shot of Ondaboat's underside


Ouch!


Nice view from the passenger seat - sadly this is a close as the rain came


Those comp trucks aren't so big...from here


Cheers, Ben.

Here's the view from halfway up the black run west of camp



And here's a vid of said run. Apologies for the dodgy quality and wind noise...



Cheers Ben.
