The drone footage makes this look rather more heroic than it was.
The truth? I got halfway down this track—and chickened out!
The Discovery was perfectly willing. Its driver decided not to push his luck.
I’m a traveller, not a technical four-wheel driver. A second set of eyes would have helped.
Where’s my main man Dan from Torr Overland when I need him?
Still, I’ve made it all the way here in a standard Discovery 4, on standard-size all-terrain tyres, with a BootCamp in the back.
My everyday car.
Sometimes the right decision is knowing when to turn around.
I had a lot of fun, got a few decent photographs and came back with myself and the Discovery intact.
I reckon that counts as a good day. There's always tomorrow.
