Several roolovers of the buggy, a couple of rear axles broken and a couple of crown wheels and pinions broken. Oh forgot the best, Rick's jeep did a massive rollover down the bank, probably a write off. Stu was driving.

Got to test the crawler gears out, awesome should of done it years ago. Only bank I couldn't get up was the vertical one the buggies were doing. Didn't see any "normal" 4wd trucks do it either. Crawler gears and twin locked=virtually unstopable.

Pommy Ricks truck wasn't running.
I hope someone else took some pix of the roll overs. Which vertical slopes are you taking about Al? I didn't do any of the slopes near the trees but did all the others. There wasn't a slope me truck couldn't climb. It just purred up. Beadlocks at 8psi helped. But never used the front lockers on any slopes. I was stoked. The kids had fun. Rach crapped her self tho. Wish I could of stayed longer.

Spoke to Rick earlier. Surprisingly enough he was in a good mood. But he was gutted Keith's roof he was using on his Jeep is stuffed.
Stu is fine. He'll bounce back from getting it wrong I'm sure.

A lot of damage but far from a right off. It still a runner. Needs a front windscreen, two front guards and the bonnet straightened.

Looking forward to seeing some pix.
