Auckland based 4x4 trip of the year - Ahuroa 4x4 Safari

Postby MNC » Wed Oct 09, 2013 9:40 pm

Hi All,

Rodney Off Road Club Inc is running its annual Safari / fundraiser for the Ahuroa volunteer fire brigade (close to Puhoi).

This trip is the highlight of the annual 4x4 calender for me and I would highly recommend it to anyone that is interested.

There are 4 different groups that cater for everything from the family shiny to the hard core competition truck!

Entry forms can be found of the RORC Club website:

The Rover Club and the Shore 4 wheelers usually attend. Was a few from NorWest Club as well so you bump into a few ORE'ers.
