Sounds like Jonathan is not man enough to give it another crack.

What was Aeroplane track like? I remember when we were there everything was so dry but that track was still a bit wet... we were saying oh shit yeah would love to come back in winter, haha.

Shame about your car pickers, hopefully nothing major mate.

In all seriousness hats off mate for getting up that hill. Once you got stuck and lost momentum it's all over trying to get up but hats off for getting it up to the top.

You went hard to get momentum again which got you there otherwise it would of been a nightmare!

Especially driving a nice 2012 gu mate, a lot of people would be reluctant to do that.

That climb was pretty much the best fun I have had in years!

I can recall an other member in a new gu who gave it the berries in the mud and sand

It was fun.

Really hard to get traction, have to stay in the rut but that deep hole just before the sharp left when we were going down has been absolutely chewed out.

The pic of me in ba's photo is the spot.

Looks nothing in the photo but its impossible to get past.

You have zero traction to start off and its so deep that even hitting it flat out in second low just makes you bounce and land, literally landing on ice with no momentum, no chance.

Lokka or not, doesn't matter, nothing to grab and your tyres are just slicks anyway from the 200m of mud before.

Ok looks like the gu might have abit more damage than first thought .
The front spring has twisted slightly but the noise seems to be coming from the auto locking hubs and I seem to have a large clunk coming from the back now as well .
Should find out more tomorrow but might be locker damage or diff
Still all good fun this might empty the wallet though not the best when out of work

That really sucks. Hope its not too expensive.

[Clunk]

Huh???



Double huh??

There's a guy in the place with a bitter sweet face and he goes by the name of Ebenezer Goode

Cheers guys for a great weekend, found some absolute crackers, some that we will definitely have to revisit. Reds east was an awesome track, one of the loosest tracks I have driven on, it was hard enough to walk on the bloody thing, let alone run up it with a winch rope!! That was definitely a highlight watching AB run in front of Pickers truck with the winch rope in the dark! Hope your truck's all good Dave. Cheers for the awesome vid Jono, bear with me and I'll get some photos up. I've got some vids of Aeroplane but will need some editing so will get them up shortly.
