Long time reader, first time visitor. I own a 83 swb patrol and have had it for about 6 months and haven't taken it off road as yet, I tried to do a tag along with getabout this weekend (28-6-03) as I've managed to get the father-in-law to baby sit for me but they are booked out. I was just wondering if anybody knew where i could take the old girl off road and not get myself into to much trouble, I live at hornsby in nsw, I don't get many weekends off as I have to look after my daughters on Saturdays and then the wife expects me to spend time with her on Sunday you can see the dilema I'm facing.
any help muchly appreciated

First thing. Do you have ANY recovery gear?
I'll agree with the others. Get her involved with the car. Then you are spending time with her also.
Join a club like the Patrol club in
Sydney, they are VERY good. Also let HER do the drivers training too, and you will be suprised the suggestions that come out like, she needs a better
seat, or
suspension is rough, or tires suck get better ones.. APPROVAL f rom her is better.
As for where to go, your best bet is to go WITH someone who has been.
You could try the
Sydney Internet Groupthat Roly runs, they would bound to have someone going out this weekend... If not suggest it they might also be interestexd..

Thanks to everyone who responded for the advice. Truckster i only have a few bits and pieces of recovery gear: hand winch, towing ropes, spade and all sorts of different tools. Just a quick one to clear a few things up I only have 1 daughter at the moment and she is 2, my wife is 7 months pregnant so off road driving is sort of out of the question for a little while with her,
so once again many thanks for all of the advice
