    Levuka 2013

    I have photos Camo

    Unfortunately we have had no power since this morning so I can't load them up. It was too wet to get the camera out so the only two photos I took just happened to be of you in the bog .

    Did everyone get home safely? Given how wild the weather was supposed to get I was a little worried about those who were planning to stay the extra night. Creeks might have been up too.

    But it was a fun trip despite the rain. The tracks were so easy they could mostly be done in 2wd (oops). The lesson is if you unlock a hub while adjusting the brakes it's a good idea to remember to lock it again, doh.

    DJ, did the video of our trip up the creek come out?

    Thanks everyone for organising it all.

    Cheers

    Tim.

    Ah bugger.. can't say they didn't have warning though Had internet and Facebook warnings. Sunday was the day to come home.

    Hope all get back tomorrow with ease. Not real fun on the road at the moment.

    My front yard currently looks like Tent World! ...stuff drying everywhere!

    It was an awesome wet weekend, but I suspect there will be very few pics due to the weather and limited driving. We can always rely on Levuka for a few surprises!!

    Although it was hardly the right weather to be social, it was great to see and meet members new and old! ...here's looking forward to the next 'adventure'!

    Few pics from me, but firstly it was good to see the new and existing members out. Hopefully everyone had a good weekend, despite the weather! I also dont have many pics as the camera was getting soaked!















    I seemed to spend nearly the etinre time completely soaked. If it wasnt the bead issue on Grimaces car, it was the tricky recovery of the previously mentioned Pajeros who had surpassed their earlier effort.

    This is where we spent last night! We got cut off decided to wait it out - Thanks very much to the principal of the school for letting us in, providing us with tea and coffee, and accomodation. It was very much appreciated:

    Apologies for the shaky footage at the end!

    It's interesting to see that the creek run was still dry when you guys went through!
