Hi Duncan
It does not matter where ever you go, the
Simpson Desert,
Googs Track and the like, we will always get brainless drivers that you can never educate on the importance of lowering tyre pressures with in
sand dune country.
On one of our Simpson trips many years ago, we were heading west along the French Line, with tyre pressures dropped to 14 psi, four wheel drive engaged and just tackling the east facing dunes with ease.
One of my group, put a call out over the radio that he was having an issue with one steep dune. We all stopped and I went back to see what the issue was. He was only getting around a quarter of the way up the dune and was then bogging right down.
I then asked a few questions, and could not believe the answer to one of my questions......I put my tyres back to 45 psi...........
To put it bluntly I was rather crapped off, as when we hit the dune country, we all dropped tyre pressures.
We then went on to make sure that he did not increase his pressures again.....and you guess it...he bloody
well did.
He was then given a new nick name.....Dumb and Dumber.
Some people you just can not tell, they think they know it all.
Cheers
Stephen
