Thread: Yalwal trip

Thanks for the pics redback, it was a pleasure meeting you and your family.
Too bad it was only a short track. Maybe next time we can have a look at the twelve mile, I looked at it on the maps and it comes out at Braidwood road.
You're right lrhybrid, I need some real tyres.
You think that little sticky bit was good, a couple of days later we were in Nowra shopping. On the way home I pulled into an old sawmill to have a quick look, drove down onto a concrete apron and turned around to do a u turn and take the track that looped back to the road. A whole 5 minute detour to see what was there.
I came off the apron and almost imediately sunk to the axles in mud. :roll:
SWMBO was impressed I can tell you. Took me an hour of jacking and filling under the wheels to get out of it.
Photos will follow around the end of the week to show the predicament I got myself into without even going 4WDing

Nice work disco, that would have to be a record for the least distance travelled of bitumen to get bogged. Good work. Matt

Not to mention how it really helps to get SWMBO into 4WDing. :roll:

Yeah i know all about that one. I want to go all the time but she tells me how much she hates it. It scares her or something, i wasnt really listening. Matt [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

They tend to forget the amount of times that you don't get stuck somewhere. :roll:
Not to mention the enjoyment they get out of beinb able to drive down the beach to their favourite spot, or put the jetski in th water anywhere you like.
