my 4x4 trail weekend(once a month)was this last one,and we went to loerkop.
brian(spelling
) there informed me that trail was cut by him,antony,jappie , peter(spelling again )..and few other guys.
trail map was drawn in a sand and explained
warning was given that if and when we encounter thriller(i think that is a name) to stop and check first...
..and we go..
trail feels as made with mixing marbles and sand.
slope to a left,bakkie slides to a left
slope to a right,bakkie slides to a right
on incline if i give to much power to a wheels bakkie stops and starts to dig in....
and than we get to a thriller...
still,while approaching it rear of the bakkie keeps on sliding down to a left ..
after few tries we stop and decide to to make a plan otherwise ill never make that left turn without hitting trees.
power of one man and pulley system was used to prevent bakkie from sliding left until lined up with a obstacle.(first part of video before cut)
once in position(second part of video) decision was made to reset rope and use same setup to guide bakkie all the way down....
new things i learned:
power steering resets wheels straight very quickly on slippery surfaces .
when slippery walk slowly or your b@lls will find rock slider
this setup was used before,but never this steep.
before all of that,many calculation were made..lots of papers regarding old sailing ships were read...and so on...
foot brake and hand brake were not used until all the way down
if anyone will believe it or not...but:
please do not try it if not 110% sure
