Yeah ... thanks for the pic Mitch .... great muddies work really well .... when they actually touch the ground. Unfortunately, on this little bump, the only thing touching the ground is the chassis ... all four wheels are up in the air 
ops: ops:
Its not the same if we go on a trip and no-one gets stuck .... and I look upon it as my duty to provide some recovery training on each trip .... Hence, I had to deliberately get stuck to give everyone the opportunity to witness a safe recovery. Its all part of the service. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it !) :lol: :lol: :lol:
Once again ... a great day out. Thanks to Russ & Jen, Gary & Helen, Mitch & Tammy, Steve & Sandra, Marty, Fishnut & Deb and Mototrim for coming along and making it so much fun ..... even though we left Russ and Gary's families out there in the bush :shock: :shock: .... its alright .. they were camping out there overnight :lol: :lol:
Mumsrig climbing out of a rut.
Gary chooses to stay in the rut.
Fishnut climbing out.
Steve goes around.
Mototrim takes a small detour.
Marty ploughs on through.
I figured my bus looked so good with a set of muddies on that it deserved its own sequence :lol: :lol:
Russ takes on the rocks.
Mumsrig on the way around.
So is Gary.
Mrs Fishnut picks her line among the rocks.
Steve picks his line.
Mototrim pushes a button on the Grande and it climbs down the hill by itself. :lol: :lol:
Marty takes on the lumpy bits.
Creative parking.
A beautiful scenic drive with a small bridge over a creek ... Russ is up first.
Followed by Mumsrig
Then Gary ...
... and Fishnut.
Gary climbs up through a little canyon.
Russ follows him up.
Just for art lovers ... here's a bit of floral art. Did you know .. Tammy's fav colour is pink. :lol: :lol:
The line-up.
Russ.
Steve.
The road ahead.
Fishnut on the trail.
Mumsrig shows how to detour around a fallen tree.
Marty detouring around the same tree.
Another shot of the trail ... notice the stub where there used to be an aerial. A thieving tree decided to leap out in front of the car and nick it :shock:
The whole area was really dry .... so no mud ..... but it was a perfect little run for some standard suspension.
All the girls spent time behind the wheel .... with Deb and Tammy doing the lion's share of the driving ... and doing a great job of it.
I wound up kicking Bek out of the driver's seat .... I don't navigate anywhere near as well as she does .... I'd only been in the chair for a minute and we'd made three wrong turnsops: ops:
I'm looking forward to someone else leading a trip .... then Bek can drive and I can just sit back and relax :lol: :lol:
Cheers
