Jonty at the 21:14 mark is an absolute genius. Simultaneously lifting and pulling at the same time using a winch and a high-lift jack. What a brilliant idea!
@4xoverland10 ай бұрын
It was so clever that i used this clip on a recovery DVD I produced in about 1998. We just could not break the suction under the RR caused by the cloying mud. We discussed a solution, and Jonty said, "Why not use the hiLift on the cable so we can lift and pull at the same time?"

I love how the range rover visibly rises while they are unloading it on the one camp site! I love that area of the world as well, and its always a great pleasure to go back there.

Excellent stuff Andrew. Thank you for sharing. A dose of nostalgia taking me back to my Series 3 Station Wagon days, 'when girls were girls and men were men'. Isn't it just amazing how we managed to get through that stuff back then without lifts, power chips, power conversions and ice makers. Great seeing some of the kit I had forgotten about! Well done to you guys.

Well done Andrew, good old days This reminds me back in 2009 failed attempt to Vic high country with mates and families on a rental van. Did not had adequate equipment or knowledge back then. We camped near a lake and decided one day will be back with correct equipment and knowledge. Since ran 5x massive trips to all states except WA.

Brings to mind an old phrase from my father, and a quote from T. Roosevelt. Pop's; Experience is what you get, when you don't get what you wanted. 😄 T.R.: Adventure is best in anticipation, or reflection, lest it be too comfortable to be deserving of the name. Great video, Andrew, thank you.

Good stuff Andrew. Reminds me of my trip from Switzerland to South Africa from 1972 to 1974 in a short-wheel base Austin Gipsy. Nothing electronic, if it broke you could fix it somehow...! Love your shows, keep it going and God bless.

Treacherous! Alike this Pan, India has the Rann of Kutchh in State Gujarat almost 325 kms at its longest. The slime/mud/earth when wet is hell. Horses or camels are used to traverse through it.

Is the Range Rover registered in the UK, looks like a very familiar number plate! Van the Man, good choice!
@climaxafrica205410 ай бұрын
The number plate is South African. At that time SA had 4 provinces each with own registration plates. The T at the end of the plate stood for Transvaal province.
