TLCC: Willowglen to Deua National Park
Over the June Long weekend, after Brendan got the all clear about his appendicitis scare, we went on a TLCC trip down to Deua National Park.
It didn’t start well, as the side rails, that had only been installed on the Wednesday, at TJM Wollongong, were found to be barely hanging on. We were only on dirt roads for about 15min!The front mounting bolts were showing about 6mm of thread in the gap and the rear bolts were only
hanging on by the barest amount. Just imagine if the front had dropped, the car could of cart wheeled!
They had, obviously, only been
hand tightened! ( Apparently TJM didn’t think this justified reimbursing my installation fee, as I was fobbed off on the weekend with a promise to ring me on the Monday… I’m still waiting .
I bet you can’t guess where I’ll be telling everyone NOT to go to, for their 4wd gear )
So after crawling around in the dirt to install the rails, properly, we headed off towards Braidwood.
Plenty of river crossings, some steep tracks, and some very cold nights saw out an enjoyable weekend.
