Weekend away

The Avon wilderness is a lovely place to go Muz and I always make sure to not leave directions so that the kids can find it. (they spent 1am to 5am going 500m elsewhere)

I very carefully watched and recorded some of those wheel articulation spots and your car performed the best , those twin live axle 100 series really work well in near standard form so long as as power isn't involved and tyre pressures are approprite , we will have to arrange a dessert challenge next to see if its up to scratch there as well.

The newish BT50 auto we had wasn't bad thanks to the new outback coilover suspension but even with that its wheel travel was limited, still the after market chip fitted didn't put the car into limp mode for a change.

On that uphill out of river where the Paj had issues we took a wrong line hitting a rock so hard with the diff that the car stopped and took 2cm off the whole top of the rock - actually I should have said this was deliberate just to make it easier for those following.

I thought the weather was good and that almighty bang from lightning srtike right over us didn't occur till 6am which was wake up time anyway.

I was a bit peved though that we demonstrated the effectiveness of the electric chain saw by cutting right through a 1/2 meter round dry log and no one bothered to carry it to the fire.

All in all a pleasant trip with no real issues and everyone had some fun.

Thanks - till next time.

A good trip, Muz - thanks to Wes for organising it.

Looks like a great time! Nothing beats the bush, except the beach!

It was a great trip Murray, and thank you for organising the 6.15am thunder storm wake up alarm.
