He sunk himself in ... his diff and perhaps part of his chassis was resting of the sand .... the 4 tyres couldn't get any traction what so ever ... the steering wasn't even able to turn.

We're all learning ... (next run men have to walk with gardening tools ... ) because it was also necessary to clear the back of the wheels....

If you think you're stuck ... just relax ... don't make it worst by spinning your wheels ... you'll only be burying yourself. Just sit tight and I'll come get you.

[wagon r]

^ yuh just had to stick in the last part eh......


...but i done have meh small shovel waiting for the Matelot run.....and a cutlass....yuh never know at the rate we goin....

[323_wagon_dude]

....swamp sand however...

But we going prepared next time!!!

I've already started looking at self recovery equipment

[wagon r]

the orange tow strap is mine....cyar remember who the rope belongs to.

[venum]

...but i have to get a new tow strap

good ole rope

I ent have much faith in tow straps

and cutlass,

once Mr. Incredible there we have no reason to fear



i took my rope, so it's not mine

[Stuckindmud]

yeah the white one is mine ...
Imagine tryin to use a come-a-long to winch youself out .. - yeah pple do it (well i had to with the mazda once
. )

[323_wagon_dude]

^^ oh lawd!! That is stress....

I feel i hadda put a winch in the back too....

[wagon r]

^ if i had a front winch i could have pulled myself out, cut the tree and then pull 323 out.....

but $1 ah lb for a winch....and is recommend you buy double yuh weight....

[sweeks]

My concern with the winch in front is the additional weight at the front.... the front of the 4x4 already carrying all the weight.... it'll increase the instability of the van.

Might not be a good idea for everyday driving.

[323_wagon_dude]

Wagon you need to give Biggy that pic for him to use as his avatar ... I'll admit.... he's a real comedian....

We all tired .... next run should be on a Saturday (or Sunday if it's a long weekend...)

Did I hear somebody say Matelot/Blanchisseuse?

just remember ah have ah house waiting, whenever alyuh ready

Anyone say overnight lime?!?

According to google earth, there is a "road" all the way to paria and a track from paria to madamas....

[*Phoenix*]

I spoke to a pal of mines and he said he can organise a Boat for us to go from Blanchi to Paria... i plannign on brining him on the next run. he is a firefighter too. He hikes alot...

[323_wagon_dude]

FF786, Thats exactly the shovel I'm planning to get... from amazon as well.

I wonder if we should do a group buy... I doubt it would be cheaper from amazon though.

[*Phoenix*]

Yuh know Amazon.... BTW great minds think alike Bro.....

we can do some searches...

If we know a # we plan on getting we can negotiate a better price.

[Stuckindmud]

No response needed - the man say what he want - thaz his opinion. Best we leave that right there. He seems to know better ..

[sweeks]

I say we invite him on a run to Moruga and put him as a pt. man. You guys do doughnuts in the sand and I'll go find him *grin*
