Puerto de la Quesera 4 January 2008.... This time we did it!
Today, I enjoyed one of the most memorable off-road days of my life. It had everything: loads of snow, mud, river crossings, wonderful sights and good company. Just two G-Wagens attempted and succeeded in crossing the Collado de la Quesera, between the provinces of Guadalajara and Segovia in Central Spain.
All the pictures are here:

Enjoy!
PS: The lanky guy is my just 13-year old son, Guillermo, that some of you guys will remember from many GWOA outings. See picture attached, taken at the GWOA annual meeting in Wiltshire, October 1998. Time flies!

Last year it was simply too late in the evening (9 PM) and too cold (-6º) to continue...
Another day out! There was snowfall yesterday again in the mountains near Madrid so we had another day out today! Pity that there wasn't as much snow as we expected but whatever we had was frozen and that made our day all the more exciting!

Enjoy!
beutifull scenery, thanks for sharing
We were there today... gorgeous, amazing, gobsmacking!....
Pictures will this time take some time because I did them with Freyer's new 10Mb digital camera and he has yet to send them to me.
We crossed La Quesera without a problem (there wasn't too much snow) but after having lunch in Riaza, Segovia we went back to Wadi-al-Hajara (واديالØÂجارة) and drove like 70 miles of beautiful snowy tracks... we ended up on a hill near Cantalojas, beaten by a powerful snow drift while the night fell upon us... we lost the track within so much snow and it took us 3 hours to find our way down the very steep banks of the hill to Cantalojas....
Pictures will come soon...

Well guys you are very welcome but bear in mind that that it's got to be in winter. The rest of the year the land might get so dry and the grip so good that driving a G-Wagen off-road gets very boring. But in a cold, wet winter things can get much more exciting as you can imagine....
Rain and snow are extremely difficult to predict. We had no rain whatsoever in october and november and only a little in late december. I think that Rich, Roly and Mark were extremely fortunate in that they got the snow spot on. But you may well plan for months in advance only to find yourself in the middle of a drought with no rain in sight....
