Yeah that was funny. One of them said we were crazy trying to drive up. I said they are crazy, sliding and pushing their way through. . They were doing it pretty tuff. . .

In the process of uploading dash cam videos.
I've got footage of most while driving behind them, if you want to see your troll from the rear let me know.
Yes big thanks to Chantal Luke.
Those bikers were struggling especially the bloke that had the one that wasn't running, I had turned around and was heading back down right behind, he was trying so hard to keep out of the mushy ruts and was doing pretty well until it a bit narrow up the top and his bike just slid straight into the rut. you see see how peeeeed of he was he was just shaking his head, you could see he was so close to just dropping it and jumping up and down on it.
I am also in the process of loading mine up, I gave up trying last night.
Far out I have just got off the Phone with a bloke I work with, I saw them on the side of the Melba hwy yesterday just as we came out. He reckons they got royally F$@%!& up by the rain. they only got out of there at 2am, they went in with I think he said 9 cars and came out with 3. From what I can make out it was pretty much the first track, they went in the way we came out but I describe rocky track to him and he said it wasn't that one, he said it was sloshy clay stuff with some boulders in places. I don't think it was from lack of experience they just got caught out on a track when the rain came down and it just turned to s#$%. One lost brakes, another wouldn't start anymore, he nearly burnt out his 12000lbs warn and fully drained his batt, they are going back in to try and get the rest of the cars out if the conditions are better.
I am so glad we got out of there when we did.
Here are the vids I got.

This was the bit that was fun to turn around. . . Especially with two cars :)
Thanks mate, my new avatar ;)
Far out it looks like it got a hell of a lot more fun further up the track.
Where is the vid Rossco.

Damn that looks like fun - any idea how far up the hill you were when you had to turn around?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Was only joking Rossco. I was going to give you at least a week before I started hounding you for them. Lol.

Here we go, slippery old Blowhard Track. . .
That is just ridiculous.
Far out that was pretty insane. It's amazing how much difference that little more angle makes, well it looks reasonably steeper there.

I must say I had a fantastic weekend. Thanks to all those who came
For those that missed out due to injuries. There will always be a next time. The most important thing is to look after yourselves

Well.... Looks like we might just have to make this an annual toolangi trip. 4 months and counting....
Will lock in some May dates closer
I've been told that I need to up the ante with the maps this year. We will see
Anyone heading out Toolangi way over the next month or so?
