Had another great day at Gembrook today with Andy, Browny and Kelvin (2ndLow). Very wet and greasy. Undortunately I lost the others after I piked at a track they bashed their way up. Sorry fellas I drove around for about an hour looking and finally ended up at Labertouche, decided to give up and go home.
Guess I'll have to improve my map reading skills.
We'll have to do another one soon.

What a great day....WET......MUD.......FUN.............
Sorry Jimbo, we couldn't contact you. We turned out to have another recovery for all of us.....took us more than half an hour.....that trek turn really nasty compare to last time I went........
May be you should try this trek again once you get your
suspension lift......it really test your climbing capability of your vehicle
Ok......need some rest........out

Jimbo,
There's probably nothing wrong with your map reading skills, it took us at least an hour probably more to get up that track to finally get through to
the junction where you would have been expecting us, it was a doozy, plenty of winching and snatching, laughing and swearing & slipping and sliding, that section where you last saw us was the easy bit!!!
All in all a ripper day and good to meet a few of you fellas.
Browny

Well, having read all this I'm glad I jibbed it. I had to go to my dear old Mum's 60th birthday party and by the sound of things I would never have got there; I've got my inheritence to think of you know.
Did anyone else sustain any damage or was it just your attacking style that caused it Andy? LOL

Moggs,
Look forward to seeing you again. I'll suggest a date again soon, if it suits everyone.
Had a great day, but I'm a happy piker.
Mate until you see Mad Andy in "real action" you haven't seen anything. His effort two days ago left his effort of two weeks ago for dead. Stiil if you drive around in an open vehicle in 4 degrees and rain it probably dulls your brain a little LOL.
On a seroius note, I am indebted to the mad bastard for the advice he gave me and what I learnt from him.
