Ghee! That feels like a life time ago. Sorry for my slackness!!!
We got the car running and packed up and headed down to Tassie for some more of the Toughest Tracks in Tassie, if not Australia to be fair. Just Mental! And I honestly could not think of a better crew than the guys on that trip. Guys I met here over 10 years ago. Just the best.
So headed down to Tassie for some unfinished business on the West Coast.
We did Climies again which was fun, I chose not to drive the cliff and I'm fine with that. We camped above it on night 1

What a great bunch. Zach was my Navi again and I'd not have it any other way!
MB in his farm ute, Rossco in the Silver Brumby and Matty as a solid Navi for the team.
3 cars get a Lot Done.

So Zach left at home his first serious Girl Friend and his need for a 4G Signal was Real LoL

We came prepared this time. I had Waders for Zach last time but didn't get them out! Let just say Thank Fuck for Waders on this trip!!!! They got used..... A Lot!

So after Climies we again headed up the Lake Cumberland Track. There is a tough side and my name was all over it so off I went.
This is Tough, Really Tough! Full articulation, beyond its limits BIG. I pushed it hard and was the afternoon's Entertainment. Lol. I saw some angles, at one point I believed I had actually rolled onto my driver's side. The left wheels were off the ground and that's a roll for me. Lol. A pic taken by Rossco showed it didn't quite roll over but it was very loose. Lol.
I can tell.you though, my Dazwings Hated it! Perspex is Overrated and simply the Wrong material for this task. I smash Both of my Dazwings on this track which was an issue cause this was day 2 and we were in trouble if i couldn't pack my car. Lol.

We heading into Zeehan to the Hardware looking for a solution and soon enough I had found some ply and a saw in the Timber yard and we had a pair of 6mm ply Dazwings sorted in less than an hour. We obviously used the broken ones as a template and these did awesome and are still on the car.

We camped in Trail Habour again which is a great spot.
The next day we headed up to tackle the switchback on Cumberland and I was going to drive it this time and I have it a red hot crack

Brother Rossco Drove it. He reversed up passed the switchback which gave him a significa tly better angle and drove up. Impressive. The Crawler Gears also helped a lot, I think I want some.

We got up on top and it was a very cool place to be, not many cars get up there.
We headed back to trial harbour and I noted my Clutch was slipping after a very hard time on Cumberland. Booooo. It was Terminal.

I made a call out to Taslucas who is a Long term member here looking for a piece of Conrete to replace a Clutch mid Trip.... who does that!
Lucas put the call out and delivered in Spades. He sent us to a mate of his, Rod. What a Bloody Legend Rod is.
He cleaned out half his shed and in we rolled, a ragged group from Vic with stories to tell. Lol. Tye fire was hot, the beer was cold, the shower was got ans the hospitality was extraordinary! What was his was ours. For as long as it took.

We had the clutch out by 10pm, if arranged for a gut in Burnie to put the flywheel on the grinder at 8am the next day with pick up at 10am. Just enough time to grab breakie then source a Clutch kit etc hen back to refit.

So after 2 days of Hospitality we were ready to roll. New clutch in. We were very happy to offer Rod a Navi seat as there was one spare for the next part of our journey which really was what we were there to do.
$10,000 Tk (Wombat Flats) Holy Shit!! HOLY SHIT!!!
