And who said that long wheel base, high roof Nissan Safari's weren't suitable for that track? It was no worries... I think there was one corner where we had to do a 3 point turn style manoeuvre (most did) to get around, but as long as you are careful (and it pays to have a passenger to watch what your back wheel is doing on the way back out) it was fine. You do have to stay focused though.

Once I get a winch I'll be keen to go and have a look at some of the side tracks too.

I reckon you would have been fine on the sidetracks we did. First track was easy (didnt go to the bottom though), and the cable track I think you probably could have made it up. You would have been really stuck in the bog down the bottom if you wanted to have a go though
