this weekend went camping out sort of jamieson way up in the mountains was pretty awsome.
saterday went fishing caught 2 fish in the morning, went again around lunch caught another 4 then went down stream and i caught another 6 was really good.
then on sunday we packed up and went for a bit of a drive to get back out to jamieson. went up a 4wd'ing track... pretty boring one nothing exciting not steap or anything... noticed a track that went off this track to the left...slamed breaks on reversed and started going up it...
was some of the best driving i've done in a very long while. got about halfway though this track and had to stop because there was a short section that was very steep had rocks that you had to drop down each wheel at a time. about a foot and a halfish drop which was enough to get this hilux with his lift kit scraping his side steps. he got down but we decided that we were going to winch my car down as well as another bloke who had rolled his car previously (about 2 months ago) and was pretty paranoid. although the last bloke decided he'd give it ago by himself.
so after an hour of stuffing around we got all the cars rolling again, to got about 200m down the track and come up to a very steap ascent. first guy went up it disloged a car fridge size boulder which came rolling down towards my car... it didn't roll far. he had a little trouble getting up the first bit but got up allright, he then kept going while i waited and we lost sight of him he then radio'd back to us and said it gets worse but he got up it. so i went for it (keep in mind they all have lift kits which i don't) got up the first bit side to side rocking front wheels leaving the ground , got to the second bit reving the shit out of it and launched up this rock face both front wheels leaving the ground, bounching all over the joint... but i got up it first shot, the little maverick shat on the face of a brand new hilux, was magic.
we then watched the next 2 bloke come up, first one got stuck and had to winch himself free next one got up after his second shot... so the little mavorick shits all over one hilux and 2 landrovers . anyway after a six hour drive we finally got to jamieson. was heaps of fun and can't wait to go back. organising something for 2 weeks away gonna be sweet.
this is what we had to winch down. looks worse irl.
and again
landrover beginning the second part of the hard ascent.
OH NO landrover is stuck
landrover getting out of being stuck
what? another one...
damn trees and people that don't get them fully outta the way
and again.
video of section that front wheels on my car left ground... (not me)
fantastic trip with some awsome views. i think the highest we got was 1500 above sea level. so was pretty high. wish i took some more pics of our drive... forgot about the camera.... should have got some of the fishies as well. oh well post some thoughts gentlemen.
edit: soz for links being down... cleaned up my photobucket...
