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.

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 have had far worse roles in my lifetime I am sure? I seemed to pull dunny digger on exercise a fair bit when wearing green.

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.

That's a pretty generous offer Rushy. You surely don't want a bunch of forum hooligans tearing up your paddocks?!? :P

Have you got a bit of land out that way? I'm always out that way either offroading, at the range or (occasionally) going after a fallow out that way. I'll have to organise to pop in and say hi next time I'm up around there.
