Yes Johnsy,
Glad to hear from another traveller with similar notions.
After leaving the club scene in the late 80's we have made many an offroad trip into the beyond. Preparation is the key to all trips. You must have the right gear, your vehicle must be in excellent condition and you must be in the right frame of mind. Don't take any silly chances and don't take obvious risks. There are risks in doing trips but if you are
well prepared then you know where you are at.
I learned my lesson early for going away on hastily conceived trips being unprepared and it cost me. Mainly my ego. But you live and learn.
I too enjoy sitting around the campfire being sociable. I sometimes go alone but most of the time my life mate(female) goes along to provide culinary delights at the campfire. On other occassion I take old friends with me so we can chew the fat whilst staring into the flickering firelight.
Went solo(one vehicle) two weeks ago and took an old mate with. We had excellent weather, chassis twisting tracks and great camfires.
As you state Johnsy........go out there prepared and don't panic that it will kill you.
Happy travels :-)Cheers, Willem
Never a dull moment
