ha ha.... yip.... but I half my diesel costs getting there, so we don't mind driving everywhere instead of working out how much petrol is left in the tank to be able to make it home again when loaded with a few cases of 2M and Tipo to bring home.
Besides that when you are stopped at the petrol station refueling I'll pass you and wave.....

Tinus... off to Ponta do Ouro. Time to get the wetsuit wet and the dive cylinders filled with Nitrox and the belly filled with seafood

What makes this trail nice is that due to the river a large part of the trail next to the river and the "eiland section" changes with the flow of the river so it can be from dry sand to mud (clean and sandy :oldtimer: ) to water depending on level of the water. Then there is a section that goes onto the mountain so steep inclines lots of loose rock and rocky obsticals.

The trail itself on the day I did the river section, unfortunately due to the -sleuses?? - being opened on the Saterday night we could not do the eiland section and the mountain section.

For the two parts that we could do i did all the obsticles except for one vey tight S turn on the mountain that is just to tight for a long wheel base.

Will definately go back to do it again as well as the eiland trail as this looks to be great fun.
