Festive rides (many photos) - Toyota Hilux Surf, 3.0 liter, 1994

The holidays have come, at home it is clear that there is something to do, but terribly do not want to. It was decided to get together in a small gang and take off a little, have some fun. Initially, the rides were planned as purely urban ones. But they started in the city. True, not for long.
To begin with, we rolled up to the Dnieper and swam a little.

The UAZ, despite the periscope (yellow on the starboard side), was poorly floating. The owner just otkapitalil capacity after water hammer.

The only one who decided to cross this puddle in the middle

Our gang

Swimming quickly got boring. Let's go look for dirt. And she was here too. The brook that fed these puddles made a not bad swamp with one very unpleasant surprise. Our light reconnaissance dug in quite quickly, despite the very good maneuverability. Without waiting for him to sit on the bridges, they pulled him out.

The surprise was not long in coming. And after extracting the dzhimnak, the shevik failed with one wheel. And fell into a very inconspicuous and small puddle. If I had been in his place, I would have failed just as well.

Shevik was quickly released by me

Depth measurement showed that there is not shallow at all.

After wallowing in the mud and flopping freely in the water, it was decided that it was necessary to move closer to the outskirts of the city. After conferring, we decided to ride along the Dnieper and try to go around the city on one of its sides, leaving the minimum on the asphalt. Looking ahead, I will say that most of the team succeeded. At first the road was rather boring, just a very muddy dirt road with a rut. There is little buzz on it, four-wheel drive did not even have to be turned on. Leaving this dirt road, we drove along the Dnieper, but even here everything turned out to be dry. Thus, quite without incident, we traveled a fairly large part of the way. From time to time we strayed through the fields, but the Dnieper led us to the right place.

To be continued.
