Yes I agree, it was a fantstic day out. Weather, company, everything was perfect.
Nice to see lots of stuck trucks too, but I will not dwell on the trip leader and tail end Charlie's escapades. Im sure someone else has a more descriptave way of putting it across. :wink:

nuff said! :lol:

PS, I still need to find a local who will widen my Ali roof rack, if anyone knows someone who uses, works with and welds ali, PM me please. :wink:

Ok so I drown the truck (forgot to seal the air cleaner) but I fixed it quick :roll:

then totaly bellyed out (kiwipete couldn't even pull me off) so winched myself off then just before the end poped a tyre off the bead (10 meters before bubbles did the same) :shock:

Oh and yes I like to swim as most of you guys noticed today and like deep water :roll:

But all in all it was brilliant day with brilliant people I hope you guys come on the next trip that I am planing for late March (new river to me) but thats all I will say about that at the moment :idea:

.

I accomplished my goal

now you cant say that you havnt been stuck following me :lol:

And I will let the tail end charlie (Tim) tell you what he did :lol:

Shane · Post by **Shane** » Sun Nov 18, 2007 9:44 pm

We were going up stream(passed you guys not far from the bridge)and we had a few interesting crossings,no tow's needed but some reversing/repositioning needed to get across.driving into the flow doesnt help but have always done that trip going up stream with higher water level than today and not had any problems,still a good day out and shoes still dry
