    Photos of the burn down Old Caloundra Rd on Saturday

    Hi all,
    Just posting up some photos of myself and a few friends heading up the radio tower track off old caloundra rd. All the rain certainly did make things... interesting. Take a look at the photos!

    Me negotiating some of the easier stuff:


    The suzy, it was experiencing some carby problems on the slopes which made things so much harder up the hill:


    Hmm... nothing exciting in these:



    The twin locked patrol:


    Here is the suzy again, we actually resorted to helping it up the hill by pushing it!!:



    Me getting up the steep part without resorting to using the front locker, needed plenty of right foot!:


    We found a nice embankment and took the opportunity to see how the cars articulated:








    On the way back down, the ruts kept pushing me too close to the tree and I could not go through without bending the frame above my tray:


    Had to reverse up the steep muddy track:


    Slipped into another set of ruts further up and slid in between two trees:


    Eventually got out, only damage was my newly replaced mud flap got torn off again when reversing!!:


    My friend in the patrol got cocky and tried a much harder way down and got stuck in a nasty position:





    Another Shot of the suzy:

    Ok, uploaded a couple of videos... They were taken with a point and shoot camera, so there isn't any sound unfortunately.

    Here is a quick vid of me getting up the slippery hill without using the front locker... Needed quite a bit of right foot!:
