Been out sussing tracks today, got 8 mint stages sorted, 4 for before lunch and 4 for the afternoon, most stages have 2 - 3 winches, so if your using a electric winch make sure you have some good batterys......

A few people have asked me about ground anchors, and you wont be needing them, we will supply some rather large pine trees as winch points, and will have other anchor points put in if we think your going to need them.

If you have a ground anchor and you want to use it, theres no problem with that either.

Hi all,
Make sure you bring a big tree protector, 3m+ or a couple to join togeather, theres some damn big pine trees that are going to be your winch points.

Big thank you to everyone for keeping the farm clean and tidy, goes a long way with the land owner.

Hopefully we might manage to run another event in the near future..........

Not before christmas, but its looking like we will get the first north island event next year,

It looks like we might run a two day event in febuary next year, it will be a proper comp running club, challenge and modified classes under 4x4Challenges rules with a couple of supplementary changes for modifed class.

And the stages wont be as easy as last time...........
