Chris

I am grounded on home duties for a little while I am sorry. Might also need to go back to Perth to see my dad on that weekend.

Not enough participants to enter the desert safely.
So trip is postponed again.
I'm going to play in the sand at Southend/Beachport/Robe with the CCJC 4wd Club for a few days instead.
PM Jayson on Auszookers if interested.

That was fun.
Vit went well.
Trailer did well.
Only carnage was a trailer spring busted on last day.
Just needed some creative christovering to get through last day :)

Bump stop was handy. Stopped tyre hitting guard.
Who needs springs when you have straps :)

Went back for a look at the Northern section, with some private Facebook invite.
Easier by far, but still fun.
A backfiring/fuel starving problem sent me home early.
Then I noticed the state of my tow bar tongue :O
