during video when Graeme was trying to straddle the rut, then the trip leader was digging. Why was he throwing the dirt over the bank as opposed to back in the hole :?: :?:

Mainly because beads kept getting blown, that is why we were winching, as for having it higher, you shouldn't really comment unles you are there.. there were reasons why as well. (Not getting in to that on here)

It was the "true" slippery forest, not the one that we always go to. Turn left out of "The Ruts" then left of a side track... look on your map or I will show you next time.

I may be wrong ( again ) but surely all fill would be better off in the hole than anywhere else :? :?

I'm not being picky, just trying to work out why all these tracks get deeper and deeper etc etc etc


and yes you will have to show us where the true slippy forest is, during the upcoming photo taking trip 8) :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Why not?

Just curious as it does look like you are winching the trucks into the ground.

With all the undulating ground in there was at all different points we would be setting it high then low and have to stop winching every 2-3 minutes and reset it, it was wet, cold and after popping the beads 4-5 times. I was getting pissed and wanted to get out of there, then there was a CV blown, a tree jumped out at Beer-cruiser :lol:

Things wernt just easy as the photo's show and as I have mentioned before I don't want to get into this on here. It is not the place or time.

Cheers for asking the questions though.
