Sounds like you guys put in a good solid effort on the track clearing side of things in the weekend.
Thanks for doing your bit as if all 4wders in general did a day a year the tracks would be a lot easier to maintain.
Cheers

Re: bulletproof Chasm track re opened
The Sinda club have spent a good amount of time and effort to tidy up the hut at the bottom of Greenland to the point of making enough for camp sites. Heaps of history in that hill as they found lots of old mining stuff to keep them entertained for three days.

Re: bulletproof Chasm track re opened
I know of a couple keen guys from ChCh heading in there this weekend. I am sure they will have fun aswell. Sounds like it isn't getting any easier but that's not a bad thing either.

Re: Lift Law Changes -Where are things at now?
There has been a fair few conversions and opinions through out this thread so I thought I would put me 2 cents in aswell from a builders point of view ( as I am ). Keep in mind that all Combined reps are keen 4wders but have full time jobs to attend to at the end of the day. Combined 4WD Clubs Inc h...

Re: More bad rep.
Shame, as we only just had the head of DOC down to talk about how good the relationship is between the 4wd clubs and DOC. I've sent this off to some of the Combined Committee, they can decide what to do next. Very sad to see. I was part of a group last Fri afternoon that meet with Lou Sanderson, th...

Re: Intrigued by LVVTA statement over modified suspension
It has never been NZ4WD Association against Combined 4wd Clubs. The point of the whole thing is why should a keen 4wder (whether they are in a club or not) be pushed into a position that he/she has to join the NZ4WD Association due to the modifications that they have done to their 4wd which complies...

Re: ----- Leaving Rubbish, Theft, Vandalism, Cutting Fences

Try the Ashley north bank up from Dunlop's Rd. NC4WD had 14 trucks up to the Ohuku last weekend. Good water flow in the river and side tracks were changeling with 33's. I might be up there Sunday clearing trees. Nig

Re: bulletproof Chasm track re opened
It has been rebuilt with rocks from the bank. I heard a group went in there and used a ground anchor/winch to bring some of the bank down. You will have to winch up ramp to get out of the Chasem I would be guessing. Nig
