So I think you guys might have gone up Jonathan's "Hill of Death" LOL. Its not marked on my map but I've dropped a blue pin where it you guys were, so it looks like an unmarked short cut through to Rocky Tk.

Should never have attempted to turn around on that. You made a good choice to go up. The others should have reversed down...much safer.Originally Posted by Hodge

Lesson learnt mate. I have never been in that scenario before. Track ahead looked very sinister, and shale rock, once disturbed provided very little traction. Sean winched a fair way up and after that is when we began making decisions which included 2 cars reversing a bit and turning around which was unpleasant, and a 3rd car reverse a bit further to a flatter spot and all was good. Knowing what we know now, next time onwards and upwards.
And yeah apologies about hijack.
