Driving the CJ offroad. Groesbeek (ANVT)
Took the Cj5 out for some mild offroading. The car went well. I just managed to scrape the side of the car on some roots. Nothing to worry about. Some paint has come off the hardtop and the rear quarterpanel was bent for the fourth time. I'll have to fix that sometime. The event was much better than the previous one. The mud wasn't so bad , there were lots of cars and some drivers didn't watch out for others. We saw one Landrover almost roll into a thoughtlessly parked truck. But everybody was friendly and slow so there was no real danger. There was a blue and red route. We drove most of the blue route and quite a bit of the red. The ANVT did a good job marking the trails and the marshalls were friendly and alert. Good stuff!
