Re: Caves to Caves Forum Trip 2012
Dave I'd appreciate any extra photos/videos. So far I don't think there is any evidence that I was actually out in front.

Re: Caves to Caves Forum Trip 2012
A hand winch would definitely do the job Peter. I think if we had a car in front of Dave a gentle tow would have got him up as well. That's pretty much the exact situation I want a tow bar mount winch for.

Re: Caves to Caves Forum Trip 2012
Nice thought but we ruled out Maxxtraxx pretty quickly as they would have just slipped away as the wheels spun on them. Could have been a possibility if we dug them into the ground but no guarantees that would have worked.

Re:
The ground wasn't level enough for Maxtrax, it was uneven and there were rocks sticking out.
They would have been spat out the back and could have injured someone.
The other way we could have done it without a winch is to push the car sideways and then back down the hill to give it another go.
Todd,
There is video footage on the back of Daniels Nav when we were crossing the Kowmung, I think you wre behind him then.
Dave,
You may as well post your pics, there could be a few good ones amongst them.

Re: Caves to Caves Forum Trip 2012
Yeah Tony I think the camera was Peter's brother in laws. Hopefully he can get a hold of those videos.
re: Maxxtraxx thats why I said they would have to have been dug in. To make sure they couldn't spit out the back. But like I said no guarantee that would have worked even then.
