went over there a couple weeks ago for a night run, stick to the main track and you should be fine. just watch the narrow sections and take them carefully.

play safe :mrgreen:

I'm going with him on my Safari with decent mud tyres and recovery gear so I'm fine, just a bit worried how his Pathfinder will handle few big rocks along the track.

pmfg; yep, it's this sunday. I'll drop you a PM closer to the end of the week.
