    Bit of fun out at woodhill

    My brother and I took my Hilux and our Zuki out to Woodhill yesterday. It was a good day (aside from my new GoPro camera shitting itself ).

    I got stuck a couple of times and had to get dragged out by the Suzuki, but that Suzuki did damn well for a little shitter with road tyres. It was climbing some of the hills guys with expensive tricked up Patrols and Surfs (my nearly factory one included) couldn't.

    My dad cleaned out the carbie on the Suzuki and re-tuned it (the timing was way out) so it had way more grunt that it used to.



    The first bit is driving just the easy tracks, then a bit of playing in the mud, then a couple of hill climbs.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Funny you say that, I clipped a tree last time in the hilux. Some of the gaps can be a little small.

    Yeah you just rock up and pay $55 then spend the whole day driving around. There's lots of tracks of various difficulties all over the place. There are big main loops you go around with little trial tracks off the side.

    They also have the 4x4 clubs on patrol so if you get stuck you can get pulled out.

    If you haven't been, go have a go.

    I would be happy for you to circle the wagons at home and host you to a bit of fallow on the BBQ

    That's sounding like a plan. I'll open another thread tonight and try to organise something. See if we can spark up some interest.
