Thinking of going up to the Coromandle for an explore around now that I've got the landrover going. Would possibly be an overnighter on a weekend. It would be good to hunt out some old gold mining ruins.
I'm looking at around in month or so. Has anyone done any trips similar to this? destinations? tracks?
If anyone is keen to come along or has any ideas of where the best place to go is just post.

Coromandel Trip
Mike,
I'd be keen to meet up if you are doing a bit of a trip around the Coromandel, especially with me being in Thames, depending on the date & type of terrain covered.
Don't really have any helpful suggestions on where to go but I'm always keen on a bit of adventuring!!
Keep me posted!
Cheers

No worries, wasn't looking at anything to extreme as don't have a winch and the SATs are getting down abit. Plus judging by your pic I'm guessing you don't want any racing stripes
Thinking about the number 10 track in Andy Cockroft's book '80 offroad adventures north island' It's on the road between thames and pauanui.
Also I know of one other around there I think.
I'll give the thames club a call and find out some more info about the area as well.

yes the kopu hikuai road is the one between thames and pauanui. Yes the two that I have found on the southern side are hard mud plugs, especially at this time of year. Yes Thompsons is the only track that I know close to tga. The track in andy's book is now closed I think. There are more tracks towards rotorua I understand, best talk to the BOP club. I never joined it but know a member or two and contributed towards some of their thompsons track maintenance.
