That video was from inside my car. Fortunately I did not need the tug.

Lyk asof dit vet pret was. Jammer ek kon nie saamval nie, maar moes die naweek wat verby is dringed Potch toe gaan. Dankie vir die fotos. :)

Re: NOROC: Saterdag 24 Februarie 2018: Piesangkloof
Our outing to Piesangkloof and the associated experience on the trail again confirmed the following to me:
1. Any driver has his/her limits and experience behind the wheel can't be bought or stolen;
2. Any vehicle has its limits - i.e.
2.1 Not even that super kitted Jeep Cerokee made it up the final obstacle the first time;
2.2 The Payero's gave us a good run for our money on surfaces where we cruzed over with our kitted Patrols;
2.3 The standard PF was also keeping us busy;
2.4 The HB without a diff lock also did no make the final obstacle;
2.5 The standard Patrol SUV with a non-working diff lock also had to be recovered on two occasions.

Re: NOROC: Saterdag 24 Februarie 2018: Piesangkloof
And furthermore - fatigue behind the wheel can cause you dearly....
I hit my rock sliders very hard on both sides of the Patrol on different obstacles later and late in the day - and those hits were not soft!
My focus and attention was definitely not what it should be due to the fact that I was physically tired after a long day in the saddle (09H00 until 17H00) and climbing a good number of hills while assisting other vehicles.
Then - hats off to the manufacturer of my sliders - my vehicle is un-damaged!!

Yip, it was a good recovery training exercise. And the lesson learnt by some - Make sure you have decent recovery points front and back.
