And, to answer the subject of the thread - what I call 'Off Roading' to date is a couple of forest trails nearby that could easily be managed in any car (except for when it snowed). But I have just signed up for my first proper off road day in a fortnight's time, so soon the situation will change a little 2001 D2 GS (I must be mad!)

Here's a little "off-road" video I shot today up in the Cascade Mountains.

Offroad is driving the Canning Stock Route in Western Australia - Wiluna to Halls Creek - Approx 1900km on dirt and sand and no bitumen with just one fuel stop enroute or until recently arrange a fuel dump about mid way. There are no garages, fuel stations, AA or anything else to assist. What you need on the trip you need to take with you or arrange for air drops.

I wish there was a Ferry to Australia from Seattle!
