Aimer's 600

Simon sends these photos with not a lot of story... but we have heard it was quite cool.. Simon has now obliged with captions...

 

 

1. Richard tactically tests our hosts recovery abilities by getting stuck going down hill.

 

 

2. "....while your down there Grommet"

 

 

3. Unusual volcanic air, high altitude and special diet makes Tim Warburton's beard grow so long that he has to tuck it under his chin, over his left shoulder and hire Rob Parker to follow along behind him with it draped across his back to keep it out of the mud.

 

 

 

4. Indy, Jason and Andrew pick up extra money by catalogue modelling for the edgy new Kathmandu clothing range: "Abandoned by the IHC bus"

 

 5. Jeremy, the original designers' inspiration for the range, deals manfully with the dissappointment of being rejected as a model in the shoot. The agency tried to explain that it would be insentive to use real people rather than models. These are El Presidents own clothes

 

 

6. Simon's 110 gives a glimpse of horrors experienced on the Eastern suburbs' ridges if exposed to the wet fart consequences of a Remuera house wife on a diet of latte, and sushi, not wearing knickers and very relaxed by too much  pilates and bikram yoga

 

 

7. Jason uses his extraordinary strength and gigantic foot print to stop Andrew and Indy's Rangie from sliding back down the hill.

 

 8. Not Rover, but you gotta respect a Lexus V8

 

9. Club Shabitat II - the legend lives on (note these too are El President's own clothes, again not part of the Katmandu "Abandoned by the IHC bus" range.)

 

 

 10. Kyley carries peace offering on his shoulders in the hope that sacrifice ritual will appease locals

 

 11. To the left is a steep ravine. This shot is taken seconds before, having learnt he was not selected for the photo shoot, el President, summoned super human strength from his rage, grabbed the ajar right hand door, and flipped the vehicle down the cliff (hence need to appease locals - many thanks the Kyley for saving the day and getting us all out of there alive).

 

 

12. This is the get away vehicle. Rob Parker sensed what was happening and charged in his SIIa to the site where Jeremy had just committed the act. Tim, sitting left seat lest he have his extraordinary beard growth untended, was able to use the portion drapped over Rob's shoulder to lassoo Jeremy to safety out of the clutches of the disgruntled locals. For his quick thinking and heroic driving skill Rob is owed a great debt by the club

 

 

 13. Neil Evans, by getting lost and charging up the wrong hill, inadvertantly provides a crucial distraction, buying time for Rob and Tim to spirit the enraged Presidente to safety and for Kyley to go into diplomatic overdrive.

~~  Cheers Simon.... the run takes on a whole new look and feel with the captions!
