new video footage - deepest creek crossing so far!


http://members.iinet.net.au/~richnclare/xtrail_index.html


See the bottom of the page...


I'd also put videos of the Nowra Trek earlier this year, but my webspace is full again... Time for me to start enquiring about leasing webspace, unless Geoff or someone else is willing to host the video files... There's 41.7MB of footage in multiple files (varying in size from 1.5-5.7MB) of similar quality to the one of the creek crossing above. They could be accessed from the main X-Trail site I suppose (isn't there already a link to photos?).

47Mb might be pushing the friendship a bit.

But send me the direct links to what you consider the top 2 or 3 videos under 4Mb and I'll put them on the site.

I'd have to delete a heap of photos from my website to make room for the "selection". I would only need to put up the ones that included the more challenging terrain...

Will let you know when they're up...

Hi Rich,

The crossing looks great and adventurous.

Driving in some streets of Sydney after heavy rain and blocked drainage is the deepest crossing I could manage thus far emoticon so when I look at this video I can only imagine what I'll be doing inside the car emoticon

Jim,

Did the water level go over the front of the bonnet? It was a bit too much glare to be able to see it properly.

You tackle the water about twice the speed I do, I reckon... That sure was some bow wave you created there!


Good footage!

Nope, it barely reached the headlights. The reason for the speed is because the current was deceptively fast and strong, it's not at all apparent in that movie because the water is so clear, but it had been raining a fair bit for the 3 days prior to us passing through and even though the water had subsided substantially (we were told it was over a meter underwater the day before). Just as we arrived there some poor bloke towing his jetski with an old stock subaru needed to be pulled out after he lost traction and was pulled downstream to the east side where you see the water is rushing over rocks.

xtrails have the air intake right at the front of the engine bay just under the bonnet lip, so if I was going to cross a bonnet-deep creek I'd be aiming for about the same speed anyway I reckon, otherwise the chance of water flowing into the air intake would be too high without having a pocket of air being pushed in front.

Re: new video footage - deepest creek crossing so far!


jim,

that looked like a good chalanging crossing, thanks for pointing out what they are capable of, it gives the rest of us heaps more confidence and goes along way towards silencing the critics!

I know these things are over pretty quickly but did the xtrail feel as if it was struggling to maintain momentum at anytime through the crossing?
