Mini on one puddle water went above the roof, sadly could not take pictures because we did not know what the hell happend.

I was very impressed with my cruiser and i feared my tires would get me stuck - but it never failed on me . My other freinds have loads 4x4 experiance, so i was able to share some experiance with them.

only problem was that i lost my front number plate to huge mud pit.

[Dj shan]

Wow! dims you really are getting the full potential of your cruiser !!

Nice picture s mate.......

Awesome pictures, Dimantha!

The green LN166 in the pictures used to belong to a friend of mine, and I navigated him in that, on the SLARDAR 1000 4x4 Rally and and Southern Monsoon Rally last year. That was an absolutely bullet-proof truck, but he sold it to get a 70 Series like yours.

machan this is a new location and made national park in 2002. Machan you should see the entrance. It was done in 2007 and it has some awesome buildings and a small exbit of animals,

you have to access it through rotawewa which is just near the minneriya national park but to the opposite side of the road,

any new map should carry the route,

Only problem is machan when its goverement owned they do not know how to do marketing.

Machan we went at the ideal time because its now that raining season has started. so where were is where the lake should be, its just starting to fill up. best month i would suggest you to go is either august or the begining of the dry season so that there will be loads of mud to play with.

Hi velocity,

Isn't that air intake absorb water, when water going above the bonnet level (since you don't have a snorkel )

i guess it does bro. getting my snorkelle fixed this week.

i didnt want to do it until i get a scratch in my vehicale,

i got a nice scratch on the door 1 inch long after a tree rubbed against it

So its now time for the snorkelle to go in

hmmm.... not sure how 4 wheel guys is do it by us offroad biking folks always let one guy go first in if the situ seems to look tricky... so if he gets stuck others can either help him get out of it without risking rest of the bikes to getting stuck or we think of an alternate spot to cross over...

not to pass judgment but my guess is that if one truck went ahead and got stuck the other one staying back might have been able to drag the first truck out

Velo Bro

good pics mate.. looks like you guys have had a lot of fun out there

Velo...Cant believe that this was on kawudulla. We went once and the whole area was a lake. I must make another trip in the months you mentioned. seems to be so much fun. keep up the good work with your new motor machan

[lakshank]

We faced a similar chasos in nachchikuda - Anuradhapura...Lack of preperation / underestimation of the difficulty level of the terrain and overconfidence often invites trouble.

We got bogged down inthe middle of a "wewu pittiya" after driving through afew "gadol meti walawal"
