Drinks on the Hill

We had 6 vehicles join us for a nice Saturday afternoon drive to the west lookout via the side scraper.

We had the Johno’s in the Jeep Wrangler, the Dominguez’s in the Jeep Rubicon, Rainer and Co in the Nissan Patrol, the Grierson’s in their Nissan Patrol, the McCready’s in their newly refurbished Toyota Hilux, and newbie Jason in his Toyota Prado. Matt, in the FJ, met us at the lookout a bit later on.

We departed at approximately 15.00. The track presented us with a set of obstacles with varying degrees of difficulty, including the dreaded side scraper; something Johno failed to mention to our guest, Jason, when he agreed to join us on a leisurely Saturday afternoon four wheel drive.

A couple of us managed to collect a few new scrapes to the undercarriage and sides of our vehicles. It was a good track for Jason to learn the capabilities of his vehicle, which struggled to negotiate the side scraper due to a lack of clearance with his Prado.

Nonetheless, we all enjoyed the drive and felt the beers at the end on top of the lookout were well worth the journey and scratches incurred.
