[jbrad]

Hey Steve, I'm in. Complete with wife and two kids. The jeep will be weighed down just a bit. I'll meet you at Berowa. Thanks for putting up a map link, that helps heaps. Does anyone have some witches hats - it might be an opportunity to give my daughter a driving lesson in big open spaces where she can't hit anything solid.

See you in the morning - Jason

Thats today Wolfe I think you might of missed this one.

[Steve F]

It was a great family day, more kids than adults on this one, a quick count off the top of my head 13 kids and maybe 10 adults. Did the usual down to the Ship wreck and then played on the dunes along the back of the beach, once we found a good spot we stopped for a while why the kids (and some of the adults) went down the dunes on the boogie boards. Then some more dune driving up to the Silver City for lunch, which was very civilized with a big shade shelter, some sun and protection from the wind. Some more playing in the dunes, the rescue of an old landcruiser that had dropped into a a nice hole that had blown around some scrub, is was pretty much on its side.

Of course I got no pics but I know plenty of others did, looking forward to seeing them :)

Cheers
Steve

[Wolfe]

Yep just realised

[Dieselcon]

Pics please.........pretty please

[jbrad]

I' trying to upload a couple of photos however I'm severley handicapped when it comes to websites and pictures. I thought I had uploaded four, and they all seem to have disappeared. Try again.

[jbrad]

Pic above is Silver City at the Northern end of Stockton Beach. The other photos are too large to upload. It appears that anything over 2 MB is too big.

[Steve F]

Sent you a PM, email them to me if you want and I'll stick them up. Or you can get a photobucket account, put them up there and link to them.

Cheers
Steve

[jbrad]

Gone with photobbucket. Let me know what you all think. Not a lot of action shots, I've got some really bad video footage which I will crop and try to link it as well.

[SKIZZI]

Nice. Wish I got my drive shaft in in time so I could have gone with you all.

[116gtv]

Thanks for leading the trip, Steve..

[Steve F]

Did anyone take any pictures of the Toyota that we recovered and the recovery?
