Dirty weekend

avatar

I've got a free weekend coming up; No shooting commitments, no social engagements, certainly no work and nothing planned at all...I was thinking about what might be possible on a weekend that, to date, contained nothing and I concluded there was no point wasting it. I decided that I'd make it a dirty one.

I have a friend who I called right away and we had a conversation about this dirty weekend I was hoping to deploy. After some sweet-talking and offers of payment an agreement was reached. The dirty weekend is on!

Normally I'd take my wife along for a dirty weekend like this, others also, but this weekend it's just me and my friend and I have to say, I'm looking forward to it being just the two of us.


Alright, I'll stop teasing now...The dirty weekend is off-roading and the friend is a mate of mine whose family owns a [massive] sheep farm north of Adelaide in the southern Flinders Ranges. The farm itself offers some great 4x4 tracks and whilst some are very extreme, suited to purpose-built rock-crawlers only, most can be navigated by a decent four wheel drive with good ground clearance.

Old-mate says it's been reasonably wet up there and to expect to get dirty, hence my misleading title, which is ok by me whilst the off-roading is happening; It's afterwards during the cleanup when getting so dirty sucks. Oh well, that's the price of fun.

Faith won't be coming along, in fact it'll just be my mate and I, the two vehicles. The last time I went there was with a group of about twelve vehicles and all but two got hopelessly bogged so going solo isn't really much of an option. Digging a 3400kg vehicle out of a bog is not fun. I'm looking forward to it and am planning to set up my GoPro so there may be some footage coming your way - Depending on how it turns out. If I put the vehicle on its roof I'll probably not share the footage...Might impede my insurance claim.

Anyway, that's the focus of my weekend I guess. Off-roading. Oh, I lied to you before...I do have something planned...Faith and I have a friend popping over Friday night for some Thai food and a catch up. So yeah, that's a social engagement I guess. Anyway, my blog, my rules right? I'm allowed a little white lie here and there.

I hope you all have a great weekend planned out, or maybe not planned out. Either way get after it and deploy the best version of it you know how. What happens on the weekend stays on the weekend so go crazy! 😆

It should be good. He has a little water out there here and there so might be some creek crossings or at least some puddle splashing to be head. I threw the GoPro batteries on charge today and have everything set for tomorrow morning. I'm throwing a gun in just in case we see something that needs punishing...Should be a good day.

Sounds like a good opportunity for some ATVs as well! It has been a while since I have been on one but in a large property like that, it would sure be fun!

He has a couple of them and some bikes too...Far too many dangerous days have been spent running amok on those things, and will be again I’m sure. Blokes and their toys huh? 😇

Should be a good day. Sunday will suck as I’ll have to clean up all the dirty.

P.s. You need to sell those kids to the circus. 🤪

Should be good. Planning a little open fire to grill up some chow and some coffee at lunch time. The world can fuck off tomorrow, just me and a bro wheelin’!
