The inaugural Nissan Club's Night Navigation
Was
held on October 19 & 20. (trip rating: ייי)
the location was just past West Talbert Road, with a camp overnight.
A Great turn out for the night and nearly very one slept over. I am not sure who
won the night nav in the end, I think the winner may have been a Maroon Nissan
with a driver that has a South African accent (:-)
Some of the vehicle got last etc, will not go to far in to that as one 4x4 took
a turn to early and landed up to the axels in Mud and had to be recovered by
Gadget. But all said and done it was a good night 4WDing. Thank you Nissan Club
for a great event and especially to the people that put in the extra time like
the BBQ and registration. Thanks Guys
The next morning we went in search of MUD and we found it as the photo tell the story. We all had a play in it and some excellent recovery's were made (:-). This was the first time I had my Nissan Patrol GU in mud and was extremely happy with it as did not get bogged once

I took some video clip with the camera, not the best quality but all right, they rang from 1Mb to 4Mb and you may require a program to view the clips on called "Quick Time Play" or you can down load a copy from: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
