Haha nice guess mate. Same type of truck, different owner driver tho :) He was so lucky to get away with the little amount of damage received. I should have swapped him all my dented panels as punishment. More pics to come, eventually.

Was that on the right hand bend up Mt Greenland known as the washout? Should be getting easier since a we opened that up 2.5 yrs ago. What has changed at the top to cause that wee lie down?

thats the spot al, is a lot easier now. still on a good angle though, he went for 2nd and got to much grip wich pulled the front out of the rut and then had nothing to lean aganst. have a vid of driving up and then back down it that ill post so you can see, looks easy as in the vid.

Chucking a wheel up the bank on the RHS of the track didn't help either :(

That pic of Tailings above actually shows ZILCH about how steep it is..we did it about 3 years ago and had a couple of trail bikes come down after us, they couldn't ride down it and canned off big time. Then we had to tow them up the other side at the end.
