Well after 3 weeks without our Troopy we now have a roof bed and awning. Off down to the Toyota 4wheel drive car club property near Bungonia to try it out. We were very snug at 0.1'. Sat morning up early to start training - one to do the driver training and the other recovery and vice versa on Sunday. Oh my god driver training was terrifying for me (in John's new pride and joy) but with 10 instructors shouting and waving arms through the windows and over the CB it was hard to cop out - I was first in a line of 12 cars so impossible to turn around and go back! Sometimes my legs were shaking so much I could hardly press the peddles. We weren't allowed to use the diff locks because that would be cheating! Most tracks appeared to be vertical and some had cavernous pot holes which meant there were often two wheels off the ground.
Recovery was fun but made us realise how much equipment we should carry and how dangerous it could be. I think it made us realise we need to go with experienced people for a while to learn some more tricks.
