It is time for me to thank Brett and Alan for undertaking this trip. Naturally I fully appreciate that they too hugely enjoyed the journey for that indeed is what it was and not just in a distance sense. The ability to bring together people (mainly far-flung) of like mind cannot be understated. The fact that they have been able to entertain us with their pix, their anecdotes and their wit is an added bonus. It became a travelogue of the first order.
For me it was a renewal of friendship, but others clearly were able to meet up with the terrible two for the first time. Maybe others Forum members will also contemplate such adventures in the future (if you can do it in the past you are ahead of the rest of us, or should that be behind? )
I should put out the disclaimer that having the opportunity to taste the best red wine in a long time in no way influenced my objectivity. Well.....A very teeney amount perhaps.

David, few years ago, on the advice of another woody on acreage, I was going to do just that. Then we got a grass-fire that came in off the road and worked its way down the gully towards our block. I stopped it at the fence-line & went off to do other things. Fortunately, I checked again just before going inside for the night. I must've left a bit smouldering because it had re-ignited and was working its merry way via a mat of pine-needles to the pile of dry wood stacked up against the back of my shed. That was precisely the area I'd intended to aim the dusty outlet towards. :O As you may imagine, I decided there & then to re-think my strategy.
So what I've decided is along the lines of what you suggest, i.e. removing those back-pressure inducing outlet bags, but istead of a free-fire zone, have it spray into a 3-sided catcher enclosure (with shade cloth or similar for walls). Then I can cart it further away from my precious shed. Just need that round tuit, as I said. I'll find it eventually.......
Cheers,IW
