A Saturday in the Dutch "desert"...
|
On our way to Veenendaal. We took a ferry over a small river here. |
|
The first interesting "obstacle" -- a small puddle in the middle of nowhere. It was a playground for the others with their MT tires but a small obstacle for my old, original AT's. |
|
Everyone had to try that one. |
|
Then we had to check where to go next... |
|
...and found some sand dunes. This was Gilbert's first try to get up -- he did not make it. It is much steeper than it looks like on the picture. |
|
While digging some deep holes he was going straight down instead of forward. "WHO HAS LOCKERS FOR ME?!!!" |
|
But he finally made it with more speed. |
|
The CJ tried it too but he had water in the distribution cap. The engine died on the hill and it took some time to get it running again. |
|
After all that sand digging it was time for a Dutch lunch. |
|
A nice oldtimer was out driving around here. It's a DAF -- made in Eindhoven. |
|
Soccer time! The soccer addicts had to find a pub with TV. |
|
They found a pub but it was too crowded -- still looking for another one. They are already starting to make love here on the street. |
|
No pub -- heading home. This is a shot from the front while driving. |
|
And from the rear. |
|
The Netherlands won the match! On our way back to the trail we stopped at a crowded market place. |
|
Big party -- everybody was yelling. |
|
Back to play in the water for awhile. |
|
|
|
Then Gilbert found a very steep hill. Too steep -- he did not make it! This hill was around 35-40°! |
|
Winch time! :-) |
|
But he would not be Gilbert if he gave up so easily.
He tried it again -- very hard.
The second time this day that he is digging some nice, deep holes. Gilbert: "Maybe with disconnected sway-bars I could have made it. Here I decided to buy ARB's.". |
|
Winch time again! |
|
|
|
No tree saver? No tree anymore. He killed a tree and maybe his winch cable. |
|
But winching Gilbert was not all the fun. Some charming girls came by to join us this day. |
|
*Centered* He does not like winching here. Is digging more fun? |
|
Still digging after ca. 30 minutes! |
|
Unlocking the CJ hubs and heading home. It is getting dark. |
