How did that go? I am doing an offroad driving course through the CFA soon and not really sure what to expect.
Yeah, not bad, was basically an intro to 4wd course so most of the stuff covered I already knew..... yours will be more advanced I’m sure. I did learn a couple of important & useful techniques, but it was also good just to get some more experience on the club track & out in the bush. I found it good to have instructors sitting in the car & advising. MrsTea is going to do the course in October once she’s familiarised herself with driving the Patrol on the road & had a few lessons from Cameron (cgm) out in the bush (he’s a good teacher). The course is 3 hours one evening of basic theory & then a day of driving on the track & out in the bush.
A friend up here used to run the CFA off road training for tanker drivers, some of it sounded fairly hairy, so I reckon it might be right up your street!

My 8 year old just beat the crap out of me in a game of chess, showing a significant leap in problem solving and analytical thought.
I couldn't be happier.
Love the game even have an 1850 chess gaming tilt table that I picked up for $30.
then found an 1850 base to match it ,then some chess pieces to suit it.
pic shows it with some perspex cover I had cut to protect it.
