Hello all,
We are almost packed and ready to join up with the Ulverstone 4WD Club this weekend for some fun around Black Bluff. Jenni, Garth, Dick & Trish stopped at Leven Camp earlier today and showed us the river crossing to their secret camping spot…and with respect for the 4WD the camp will remain a secret. Well the river crossing turned out to be a whole of fun, with some big boulders and equally big holes. Garth & Jenni were across first taking a few boulders with them – no damage and safely across though. Trish on the other hand decided she would walk the river crossing for some photos and half way across ended up slipping on a smooth rock and taking a nice swim. I was really impressed that she kept her camera dry using her arm as a periscope. Then went Dick in his Troopie towing a camper trailer. Unfortunately Dick got hooked up on some rocks and spent 10 mins rocking back and forward until he finally freed himself, picked a new line and made it across. That’s what 4WDing is all about – good fun, with good people giving the great outdoors some time out – awesome.
We turned back and are looking eagerly forward to the river crossing tommorrow when we head to camp. Hopefully watching the two other cars will set us on the right line. The real shame was – we forgot the video!!
Apparently it is 10 klm or so of good 4WD to the camp after the river crossing so we are looking forward to the adventure.
Being remote will probably mean we are off line for a couple of days…don’t worry we will be having fun!!!
Looking forward to updating you on the weekend.
