Will elaborate on the experience tomorrow (as I'm sure Stephan Sidekick will too) but right now I need to catch up on some sleeep :alvarin:

[Royco]

Looks very interesting!!
Can't wait for the report back and pics!

[Traveler]

Shaun, you have to tell more.
But good start on the picture.

[SideKick]

Yes I also got home and passed out for a day straight after pretty much 26.5 hours of driving for me Was next to impossible for me to stay awake any longer!!!

Will uplead some pics tonight, if we have some.

All I can say for now is that Spikkels got the first prize for the day at the prize giving Because at 5 that morning on top of the mountain when we had a bit of a breakdown (dizzy acted up again ), it's 1 degree outside, and instead of sitting in the warm hilux, she's standing with all the guys around the engine to help out where she can

Apparantly I'm quite spoiled

Interesting? .........no!
Spectacular? .........maybe?
In fact, I simply cannot come up with a suitable adjective to describe how awesome this event was.

And of course it didn't hurt at all that we finished in 3rd Place

Because we were one of the first teams to depart there was not much time to stop and take photos. I will however post whatever pics I can find on the facebook page as well as the handful we were able to take during the night.

I'm also writing up a report at the link above.........as time permits :shifty:

Well done for 3rd place on the AWESOME event!

[Mr_B]

Well done Shaun. I heard this year's event was a tough one... grade 3, 4+...

I found an awesome picture of you in action on FB... spectacular... how'd you do that?

Yes. I actually took that photo from inside the van at special stage 8 IIRC. Had to drive the obstacle blindfolded with the Nav shouting instructions from outside
