Golden Spade 2004

I awoke around 0600 to empty my bladder, and then decided to climb up the large dune that dominated the area where we were in order to survey the land and take a few photos

Then disaster, Alan began to attempt to drive up the large dune, followed by Mike Smith.

Unfortunately Mike lost control of his vehicle due to reverse not engaging when descending and his Land Cruiser rolled.

Fortunately Mike only sustained minor cuts to his hand, and the vehicle was still driveable
