Nice to see you again

That was an awesome trip, a great overnight camp and yet again I've learned stuff.
Most of all I learned to trust my instincts. I was talking to Mike on what looked like an impossible hill climb and said I can't see how a Navara would climb up - he said you just trust your truck and it goes. Sure enough, car after car, they came up - and I've got HD video footage of it. Yes Nevyn - including your climb too.
Where I learned to trust my instincts was after we were separated from the group. I wanted to get towards the campground and was advised to take a side road that would lead me to a main, smoother road and down to the sealed road. Sure enough it led us to the sealed road - but it was anything but smooth! There were some REALLY hairy moments - I am NOT an experienced off-roader at all - so when I was faced with a half-metre drop I didn't know what I could do. The half-metre deep rut was similarly disconcerting - but taking it slowly, we did it.
Both side steps are damaged now - the left one was hit at the Muster, got hit again this weekend and banged the right side as well. My paintwork has more battle scars than Judge Dredd and I can confirm that those big GME UHF antennae will bend right back almost to the bonnet.
I'll also confirm that the Tough Toys awning is a pretty good piece of kit. Here's a couple of shots:
Night shot with the light on:
And in the daylight:
Thanks to everyone who came, helped, organised, led, instructed, uplifted and/or enjoyed. It was a thoroughly enjoyed event.

You have a nice setup touring nav
Awsome trip guys, had a blast cant wait for some more trips like it, great meeting you all (both familiar and who i`v never met) fantastic to see everyone getting along and always there to assist where needed.
Nath you did a great job and i`m sure were all very appreciative to have someone there to guide us through. I`v seen alot of recoveries (especially D40`s being pulled by the D22`s, but thats ok) No real damage which meant everyone got out some what unscathed, though after finding "the lost city" (in reverse) i`m scared to wash the mud off in case it falls apart or the boss see`s the new paint designs engraved on the old girl.
Some pic`s i took on the Iphone, not fantastic but still pretty good.
Cheers to all who attended.

It works for me up to asking for the password. Shoot that to me and I'll try it right now.
Photos work for me just fine, Mike. Damn, Photobucket arrange a lot of cookies through a large variety of sites - I think I'll pull my albums from there.
Alicia took some great shots!

Hi Guy's,
Well with getting out to Newnes Sunday we were always going to be behind the eight ball with regards to any chance in catching up with you all.
We got out to the Beecroft Track & Glowworm Tunnel Rd State Forest Campsite Newnes just on 11am, a little later then planned, made a couple of calls on UHF Ch18 with no come backs, so Yvonne & I decided to explore the area on our own anyway.
Started following the Power Lines tracks west (just off Beecroft Track) for a while before heading over to Blackfellows Hand Track out to Wolgan Rd Lidsdale, thinking you guys may had been making your way back from Newnes Ruins Campsite.
From there we headed across to Lake Wallace at Wallerawang for a late lunch, so still an enjoyable day out even if we did miss catching up with you all.
So maybe next time we will be successful in catching up.
Cheers all
