Recovery equipment must be maintained and replaced at the first sign of wear or misuse.

While the Land Rover Owners Club of Australia (Sydney Branch) Inc. takes every care and precaution, members and their guests participate in all club activities by their choice and act on their own behalf and at their own risk. Therefore the Land Rover Owners Club of Australia (Sydney Branch) Inc. it's Committee, members and Trip Leaders can accept no responsibility for mishaps. Any "advice" given by trip leaders or others is merely an indication of what they would do if found in the same situation. The decision to follow such "advice" is entirely the choice of the individual recipient.
