Parts of the SE offroad site are now kinda looking like a giant mole went crazy up there!!!
Had digger probs to begin with (wrong bucket!)...but we got it sorted (made a good smaller bucket out of 2 other ones to fit the digger)..
Lloyd, one of the land owners workers was doing the digging...I kind of gave instructions...so blame me...(you might meet Lloyd at the next meet as he's bringing his bobtail rangey down for some fun!)
Started of with the new hole up the top of the site....its gonna be a mission now!!(no 33 on the map of the site)
As it looked before...bit of grass and the teletubbies would have felt at home here....
And now after its been attacked with the digger....
NO TELETUBBIES NOW...Look more like a battlefield!!
All the entrances now have big cross axle holes and mounds...the bomb holes have been dug deeper and steeper....
We dug a channel which will make a V notch up by the stump at the far end, from the bottom of the big hole...
The small bomb hole we have played on at previous meets, has been graded to make it steeper...for more back wheel in the air action!!!
The access track (no5 on the map) has been turned into a giant crossaxling climb, from where the steep bit of the hill finishes, through to the top track...
Track 5 now looks like this!
I drove part of track 5 in the fronty...stopping and taking pickies as it went though the new holes so you kinda see what its like, as mud with no car doesnt really photograph very well...
Some picks of the fronty at the entrances to the reworked no 33 holes...to give a bit of perspective...(I didnt drive it, as on my own, and if I got stuck I would have had a problem!)
Anyway ....this kind of gives an idea of what we did today.... some easypeasy bits are now a good challenge...
Its all about the line you take, and how you drive em, more than what mods you have got really...decent tyres help...but you can see in the pics my li'll white leafer waving its wheels in the air...but it drove through ok....with no mods only mud tyres (and my brain in the glovebox!)
Soz about the iffy photo's...these things are really difficult to capture on film...
They do look better than this in real life and are a challenge to drive...
See ya all at the picnic to see what I mean!!
Big thanks go out to Lloyd for his digger skills and time, and to the landowner for the loan of the digger!!
