Kinglake Maiden Voyage Done - How to improve the taste of your beer
Coming down Bald Spur Track, on our maiden voyage today, I came across a bloke in a van who was pulling a tandem trailer, full of fencing stuff. He's stuck, wedged across the track with not enough power to go forward and he sure isn’t reversing out.
So here we are on a side of a steep hill, 4x4 access only, I have to do a u turn on a steep narrow track. Cut a long story short, with a little less clutch and brakes , I ended up turning around and dragging his ass up the hill.
Not what I wanted to do yet with the new Patrol but you can't just leave a man behind! Who would go on an off road track with a tandem trailer load to the roof in a vw van?
I know it's not much of achievement but pretty happy for my maiden 4x4 drive. First time to put her in 4x4, first time in low range, first time on a steep hill having to do a u turn and towing. Got her nice and dirty, helped someone out.
So sitting here having this Heineken, makes it taste that much better.
