As some one once said:
" it is not the destination...but rather the journey"
I've been bitten by the bug.
Took my 1996 Disco down south to Denmark for 4 days over the weekend. She's stock standard at the moment she had never been of the black top, until i got her the closest thing to offroad was driving over a curb.
Anyway did about 1700km of touring, the most comfortable driving I have ever done and ...
I took it off road!!!
It was only really soft stuff coz I was playing it safe and didn't have recovery gear or even a compressorand the tracks were soft sand, but I was able to get down some and have a look at boat harbour:
The following day saw us at various wineries - Its a good way to get a free drink and the disco didn't look out of place at all.![]()
Our last day was spent in Albany and Torbay, including the track out to West Cape Howe a bit bumpy and a whole lot of fun. We got halfway down and then the signs suggested the rest should be left for next time![]()
Two things were leart over the weekend:
1. I want to do it again and again
2. I'm blessed coz the missus wants to come too!
