A 5 day CCVC event.
Snippets from
- Rainbow valley
- Leatham valley
- Porika Road, and valley to 2nd base at Reefton motel
- Big River gold mine
- Nepoleon Hills
- Denniston incline to Westport

Looks like you had a good time.
Surprising how many times full noise is needed!

My Defender with standard muds would not get over that sand dune.
Tubes and lower pressure next time I think.

A CCVC shiny 4x4 trip.

This was worth doing. lots of sand dunes. Need permits and access to the Foxton end though.

I think Top Gear over cooked it. The original Landie worm driven hydraulic winch would have done the trick!
If the motor stopped the worm would have held the load.

Day 3

Day 2 desert side of training area. Through desert, up to the 'gates of Mordor', back via Afghanistan base, across to Lake Moawhango.

Small video of the first day in Waiouru training grounds. This is the End of Defenders Run event organised by the Land Rover Owners Club Auckland.

Great event.

Thanks

Anyone know of any other interesting off road trips in that area (Wairarapa)? As the wagons are new'ish bush bashing is not desired.

Hi,
Anyone know the story about access through Cape Palliser Lighthouse to Te Kaukau Point. Is there a locked gate and if so how does one get access?

Is it worth driving? ( three shinny'ish vehicles, newish defender & disco 3 and a Prado)

Thanks
