4WD ing at landcruiser park

So yesterday (Saturday 17th) we went, with Douggie, on a day trip to landcruiser park again. I was rudely woken up at 5.45AM by the alarm clock so that we could leave by 6.00 well we got away by 6.30 am so not too bad an effort. We arrived at cruiser park at about 9 - 9.30 and were immediately into it. They were having a winch competition too so basically there were quite a few guys (and girls) with FULLY kitted out 4WDs they were insane and we stopped to watch them for a while and while we were watching, one of them rolled on to their roof and landed on the drivers side of the car. It was pretty scary to see but seeing as how there were in a competition it didn't stop there for them, they jumped out hooked up the winch and pulled themselves back on to their feet. They were unable to drive to the finish line (which was all of 5 m away) so their challengers towed them in and they finished their time trial. Pretty awesome actually.

So anyway we did do some 4WDing ourselves the boys did all the fun stuff and I was there to take the photos. (of course) So here they are :




Then came the puddles:







That is actually Douggie's Patrol but you can't really see it for the water. (or should i say muddy slush?)


And I know this wasn't any of our guys but I've got to post it these guys were crazy:
