- Ben & kids
Allan and Tim,
Ben and Mariana,
Scott Brynwin and kids,
David (sadly with no kids this time - due to a halloween event in the afternoon)
Ben and Mariana kindly volunteered to bog their vehicle. A bit of digging for gold, lower tyre pressures, and use of "treds" (similar to maxtrax) didn't free the vehicle on the 1st attempt.
So a bit of snatching practise was next. Well done guys. And then we had to get around the broken down vehicle on the track.
And yes - we were not the only ones to get bogged.
Dave went to help snatch out another vehicle, only to discover they had no front tow hooks, and a lock on the tow ball .... with sign of a key (what key?). So a little more digging and maxtraxs got this vehicle going. Dave then used the maxtrax too to get going again.
After a lunch break at the end of the track, we drove up the beach for a quick look at the remains of the old Forts, and take a chance for a photo of our vehicles on the beach.
Then onto the "1st lagoon", parked the cars, and off for a swim before too many clouds came over.
Due to the cloudy wether, the lagoon wasn't as warm as it could be, but still not too bad. The lagoon was full, but still fairly shallow.
After a run across the sand, it was time to cool down in the ocean.
We eventually continued south on the beach to reach sealed road again. It sounded like everyone had a great time.
" to get stuck but still glad to do my bit so everyone could get a little practice digging. A few photos of the day follow, not sure how they will come out as its my first time uploading.
