This trip is a real easy one in that for quite a bit of it, I could have not even used four wheel drive. However, getting started while up high on the beach near the dunes required low range and for the sake of my transmission (and the environment) four whell drive is a good way to go.
The tide was really low and, unlike other years, we had plenty of beach to drive on and the sand near the water's edge was quite firm.
I took my mate Jim with me. He just veged out and enjoyed the passing sand and water vistas and we had some "in depth" conversations on the meaning of life - I am still confused!! :)
Graham thought he would try to catch a fish on plastic. Although I am no expert, I think I should show him how to do it. Next weekend's trip to Wilbinga might be a good time. After all, I have caught at least six (6) herring on plastic so far. Maybe I need to start a blog on "fishing with plastic"?
Anyway, we made it all along the beach from Mylup to Tim's Thicket this time - we usually can't get past the rocks at the Mandurah end but the very low tide solved that problem for us.
I can't say it was a really exciting, problem ridden 4x4 adventure but is was a nice day out.
I am really looking forward to the reverse Collie run!
