Spent a great day yesterday with the guys from LROC (Sydney) in the Gardens of Stone NP.
Good people and lots of fun. Mostly Defenders with my D3 and one other lifted coiler D3.
It was rated as medium and mostly it was easy to medium, but there was 1 bit which I think was moving more to the hard end of the scale.
Once again amazed by how effortlessly the D3 does everything even with a pretty ordinary driver like me. I must say there were a couple of bits (ok same bit but once up and once down) where I was a bit shaky but the terrain response and the HDC work brilliantly every time and even when the driver looked nervous the D3 never did.
Even up against the defers with better clearance and better cred (and better drivers) it held its own. It is incredible really that something which is so comfortable to drive on the road can be so capable in the bush.
Beautiful day and beautiful scenery.
Maybe saw some of you as we waited on the way down to Blackfellows Hand Cave while 20 members of the Rangie club came up, and it seemed comprised of mostly Disco's.
