Things get a bit hairy at times...

...piste we had come along


As there hadn't been any rain for a few days the piste was mainly easy going enough but a few of the wet spots left over from the last rains and a few steep rocky parts (which had various landy parts underneath scraping along) had us a bit anxious. Being a two seater either one of Jo or Muna had to perch on the cubby box in between the two seats which meant a few sore heads curtisy of the sunroof handle..

but first must make it up here...

...and around corners like this


Towards the end is a huge cliff face that the piste winds up. In an overloaded and under powered landy it was a bit scary on a few of the tight winding corners, especially on the one pictured above because I couldn't make it fully around the corner in one go (no power steering) so had to ease back with the landy butt hanging off the cliff, then hope I picked the right gear to do a hand brake start. The other two got out whilst I did this!

much steeper than it looks...

...this bit of piste washed away


No great problems in the end other than the dozy bastard that started down the piste from the top as we were trying to come up - there wasn't room for two and no way I could go back down. Idiot.
