A solid offroad day, we found a nice track in the book that Sandro got with his rental. This first led back along the shores of Tsalka Green Lake and then through multiple villages and over a mountain pass to Tabatskuri.
At the lake we first tried a spot directly at the water. This looked quite muddy but we still gave it a go, the first couple of meters went well but then we started sliding. Each try to move forward ended in the back sliding further. I even got a bit scared that we might tip over if this goes super bad. We started then to work with the sand boards (or mud boards in this case?!), and did small steps at a time. Thankfully they worked really well and gave traction, so no sliding as long as we were on the board. The whole process took us at least an hour, but then Sprinty was free again and we abandoned this spot and went to another one.
