who needs an off road caravan - Bob and Doreen in action again

Silver Slug on Club Circuit

I'll leave the rest of the story to Navigator Kat and my loverly wife should she ever join in (although she has started looking over my shoulder since the weekend.)

That hairy arm is mine - loverly wife became a bit overwhelmed when convoy of 3 with Silver Slug in front and her driving, turned into convoy of everybody.... and it being her first time out since a course in Nov 2009.... She had a ball egged on by Kat and our 6 y.o. daughter once safely back in the middle of the convoy:icon_victory:

She did a great job too. Considering the driver (Fran) told the navigator to go easy tracks. Navigator promptly chose hardest one( not on purpose). Driver did a great job, first time, in lead, hard track.
Lesson 1. Don't get Kat to navigate !!

Is Scotty standing on BigRig's roof and hitting himself with a rock?

No, he bravely went before all and checked the depth for us post the January floods, evidence of which was all through the lower areas of LCMP.

Thanks again to all for their contributions to this great weekend.

The Navigator from the deep South, taking piccies on her phone

Rumour has it that Katwoman is in secret negotiations with Finly Owner for a G60, Katrol being far too pretty to get her tyres dirty.

Like a Dhuck to water

Dhuck and his well loved:icon_driving: GQ were often a spectacular feature of this weekend,leaping logs and lantana to take a non existant steep shortcut, etc.

Here he is in his natural element, barely getting his muddies damp.....

Thanks for giving me a lift up that hill, mate, when loverly wife and Katwoman left me panting and puffing in the dust

The Navigation brains trust in action

Where are we?

Who cares!

Take the next interesting track!! (notice the oldest Nissan on the trip is naturally in the lead :-) )

And the newest Nissan on the trip

although after the horrible things that were said about it before it showed its true colours off road, I'm surprised it didn't sulk and refuse to perform.

Must have been the Lurve lavished on it by the Steve McQueen lookalike 60 Series driver behind the wheel......

Sorry to hear on all counts mate - family does cone first though. When are you leaving/returning? We should organise at least a day trip or something in the coming weeks/month or so.

Likewise hope that all goes as well as possible with your family.

Saw Javan Rusa at LCMP - the owner said they would probably start roaring next week or so - they were already assembling harems. I don't think shooting is on the menu at LCMP :-) but did hear something like a shot one night - from a fair way away, although hard to tell I guess.

meant to say, and think I did say in my unsuccesful attempts to put up photos on Sunday night, that Kat took a lot of the photos I put up.

Kat has impressive single handed out the window photo shooting skills :-)

LCMP is officially listed as a 'nature reserve' so only the owners would dare take out a weapon I would suggest. Must have been from a bordering property ... hopefully!!
