Crunching video as we speak (so to speak), although the nice bottle of red I'm enjoying may be slowing things down.

I think you may have had to much drink already

Bolts,

Thanks again for a great day. The rain made things "interesting" as you'll see in the video to come (problems uploading this morning). Justin, big thanks for manoeuvring around me to winch Dave down.

Here's a few pics and the GE kml file is attached.

Here's the video. Almost an anti-advert to the FR2 but it was very slippery in the arvo coming down the hill and Dave (and I) had road tyres.

After lunch the whole group headed up Tour Drive 1/2/3 and it had just start to rain lightly. At Waterworks Rd it really started to come down so the Ho Hars, Djhampson and myself decided it was prudent to head back while the rest of the group (with better tyres) headed up Waterworks. At minute 3.45 the 3 of us are up the top on Tour Drive 1 (about 450m) when the fun begins. Just before Dave's first slippery descent I'd already got stuck on a gentle slope and had to be snatched out by Harry.

At minute 4.15 we're on Handbrake Hill which we'd come up earlier with no probs, but it was dry then.

After some tense moments and slides by the Ho Hars in the lead we decided it was best to ease the FR2 down strapped to the D3. Best use of the Courier Mail I've seen in a long time!

On the next to last bend Harry had slid in to a deep rut and then took out a tree exiting out. We were pondering what to do with the FR2 (ie how to get it down without damage) when the rest of the group caught up with us.

The footage of Deranged coming down the track is Justin coming down a parallel black track to get around and in front of my D3 to winch the FR2 down.

The slide in the last few seconds of the video had me all tensed up I can tell you!

Great photos and video folks. Was a good days driving with good people. Shame it was nearly all old City View tracks but it may change. The rain made for some interesting moments I'm sure a few will agree. Great driving by Dave in the Freelander to get it through the park. Great to see 3 RRC's on a trip as well.

Bring on the Springs.
