Westport Winter 2014
After the success of last years trip and another winter looming it's time for a mission......Westport is the go this year
looking at late july/early August before the Nor-westers arrive, chuck your name up with any preferred dates and we'll concrete a date within the next couple of weeks.
Grade 4- 5+ weather dependant, isn't the terrain for all in the winter

Without a doubt, looking at staying at Westport in the camping and cabins, great facilities, cabins or campsites and no fuel between Westport and Karamea so i figure it to be best spot, ive stayed there plenty of times, it's a beautiful spot and great BBQ area

Grade 4-5+
i'd expect a well set up vehicle, plenty of bar work, snorkel, 33inch(minimum) mudgrips, preferably a winch, all the hand tools, and well seasoned steerer who won't mind some possible panel damage.
hope that helps
Here's some pics from Reefton last year
