Commando Style
Well, the Club gathered at the appointed time which was changed by the Club Prez from what had been agreed at the meeting the previous Wednesday because he wanted an extra half an hour in bed after a hard night out. Even then he managed to almost get there late.
The challange was on, who was going to try and get up Commando after half a metre of rain in the past week. The track was dry but littered with rocks and debris from the past storms and floods. These included a 1 metre tree truck hastily cut at the top which had to be navigated over.
Those who were newly impressed with the 'value' of their jeeps confidently said 'Not for me' but with eights and sixes screaming the brave ones 'had a go'.
Airing down was the first priority and then hoping that the ARB locker lines had not come adrift was next.
The Chief (who had probably been practicing all week) went first and cruised to the top with minimal difficulty (but with a lot of experience sitting behind the wheel)A Wrangler was next but had some issue with something important and had to be set aside.
A FSJ was next but the difficult loose rock and deep gullies made the job too hard
Another Wrangler was on the run and managed to get through the gullies, ruts and ledges to get to the top.
Heading along we all went up Army and settled down for lunch.
After the delights of lunch, off down Rocky we went with brakes groaning under the pressure. Then along up some other tracks - the engines could be heard in the distance with motors at top revs and gearing as low as it could go.
We had a great time and are all looking forward to the next.
