Sorry wasnt aware of that one, this seems to be the norm at this place now. People just go and buy a 4x4 and have limited experience and want to be the instant king of the dune .

biggles and I saw some glass at the top of the dune by the 'oasis'...does not instill confidence in the type of clientele that is attracted to this excellent spot

what engel and biggles showed me was there is very little danger of this type of thing happening if just done with the correct procedures and by following the few simple rules

NO cousin not a drop. Just getting to confident and wanting to be EXTREME to a point. Thank goodness Clarence and Dino were there. By the way, I hit the dune at 30 KM/h and BANG. Both airbags popped but I finished the dune gunsmoke and all. Only to borrow Clarence's leatherman to cut out my airbags so I could carry on for another 4 Hours, he,heee. What can one do fun must GO ON, IT HAPPENED NOW GET ON WITH IT. Must say the companionship and careing illustrates what this wonderful forum is about. ALL FOR AND ONE FOR ALL. ITS now history but I won't post the VID, unless bribed, he,heeee

Morton it was not a problem but at least you have the experence where other can only talk about experence. What i can say guys Morton was not distracted by the air bags and still finnished the dune. I dont know if i could have done it.
