I have lots more pics taken on the phone, but it is taking a long time to upload them .....
I must say, both Stropp and Clunk said at the start of the day, that they were going to drive conservatively, and although they were taking the safety first attitude, I can't honestly say they drove conservatively ......
I think Stropp couldn't believe the Navara taking the big rock step full on, and it got the better of him when he saw that .....
Clunk did the right thing giving that one a miss, as it is definitely rock slider and difflock material.....

I have to say though Stropp it was good to see you taking on that step up. Specially as you've been thinking about it the last few times we've been up there. I know I would have broken something for sure if i tried it. Good on ya mate, it brought a big smile to my face seeing you do it

Not having met these guys before, I can let you all know that these guys are genuinely fantastic blokes (If you couldn't already see by the quality of their posts and assistance on the forum ) - willing to go out of their way and show me some beautiful country that as a visitor, you would never see.

The pictures don't do the rock step justice, but every vehicle that made it over brought a smile to my face.....
( It was nearly tears in the eyes, when Stropp nearly couldn't get past the smaller rocks at the base ...... )

I also need to drop into panel shop tomorrow to determine what needs doing with the bulbar and bonnet protector and flare, hopefully they will give me a new one.

It was funny standing on the outside as they were only little rocks, but they were perfectly spaced apart for a GU Patrol wheelbase ......
