There was 5 cars at the start Mark (Snapcatcher) in a LWB Paj, Scott (Pajenaro) also in a LWB Paj, Ian (Quadcam) and I (jcd) in SWB Pajs and Simon in a Patrol.
It didn't take long for Scott to get stuck in some fairly innocuous looking mud, it turns out both Mark and Simon had been stuck in the same place on previous outings.
It was quite pleasant driving through the tracks although there seemed to be quite a few trail bikes around.
We got to Tower Hill and had a bit of lunch and watched a few lunatics trying to destroy their Landcruiser by going way too fast up the hill.
Unfortunately, Simon's Patrol had suffered some radiator damage so he wasn't able to continue and had to limp back to the Lookout where his car had a ride to the service station on the back of a tow truck.
We continued having a play on some of the easier tracks around Tower Hill with the SWB's seeming to handle things the best, which they probably should have as they were the only ones with traction control.
Here's a short movie of my Paj climbing probably the hardest hill we tried for the day.

Then it was off for another pleasant drive through the forest.
Before heading back to the lookout for a quick chat before heading home.
Once again thanks very much to Mark for leading us around the tracks and not getting us lost. Larger versions of these photos are on my picassa web page :- http://picasaweb.google.com/jc.dyason/GlasshouseMtsAug2009#
Bye Jeff.
