Another good day of off road driving along sand rivers and dunes.
A good fun morning of driving through big dunes. Managed to prove that no matter how good the vehicle and the electronics controlling it you still have to have a level of competence.
Couldn't get up an early big dune, before Neil persuaded me you really can run those tyres at 15psi. Then got up no problem. However then told I was taking off the power too early so only just clearing the crest.
Next hill we launched, fully airborne fortunately didn't touch the breaks on the 20 meter descent so survived to tell this story.
OK ease off the power for the next big dune. The picture on the blog tells the story of what happened next. I had to climb out the window while Vicky sat in saying 'you fool'. Neil ran up the hill shouting 'look at the articulation on the Disco' but didn't add 'and the fool still got it stuck on the crest'.
A good day by the end and only Rob and Charles have not got their vehicle stuck and required either a tow or a dig.
Back to the hotel for another excellent meal and Gin and Tonics.
