when a do you realise that it wasnt such a good idea
had one of these above moments on the weekend out at Janowen 4wd pk a hill shall we say didnt look to bad from the bottom looked a little loose and a rock step at the top but not too steep well with in the scope of hekarewe's capabilities and mine so lets give it a lash i did have to winch the last few feet over the lip to the top and then when looking at how i was going to get back down is when i realised it was a really bad idea to go up in the first place but what goes up must go down even if it involves your bum cheaks swallowing your drivers seat and ripping the steering wheel of the column trying to help the car slow down on the landslide that we shall call a )ahem ) controled decent. enjoy the pics i will try and get them in order.
Third last looks good shows a bit of flex lol sucks to get the winch out for 1m of step up, I feel your pain
not as flex as what was going on in my pants takes a lot to get my attention that hill had it in spades no one else would try it after they saw how i came down LOL
Was that the scrabbly hill in the back corner? With the track pretty much ending up the top?
I was there on the weekend and it is a pretty good climb. But coming down you really don't want to go fast! Still a good fun hill though!
Don't recall seeing you there, but if you saw a Gu, My GQ a GQ ute, A prado and a Rodeo, that was me!
Cheers!
yup thats the hill no one else in our group was interested in doing it after i went up and back as coming down slow,,,,,, not a hope to loose was in 2nd low and the wheels could not keep up with the slide. there was that many people there on the weekend i may have seen your group but cant recall we were camped on the creek side of the main camp area we had 2 troopies with us and duel cab troopie as well as a few patrols and fortified fianance patrol was with us had a blast right up to when we did one of the comp runs and i ripped a side wall out of one of my tryes on the sunday bummer but fun weekend
