That should be fine, novice group for the three of ya?

Have updated the top too...

As far as numbers go, I think we're about full....

[penetrator]

Hey bill yeah we have all done a bit of 4wding before mucking around at the waimak and hunting trips etc but thought it would be good to have a training / play day and get some more experience then have a bloddy good time in the mud and stuff i guess

you guys can come with my lot, I'll not be doing anything too major, will respect those in the group best I can
Will have a little fun though, most bad spots up the Waimak you can drive around, besides Daddy will be there to keep me honest, and he don't like damaging his truck.
So join in it'll be good but not truck wrecking

[DaveM]

Any spots left?
Will go with the big boys if I have to, will just mean I may go around a few of the harder areas.

Hey Bill i see your profile thing says your from wanaka - dont suppose by any chance you know Dan Curley? he works for civic corp down there and is just getting into the 4WD scene for his hunting. I might be moving to queenstown with a bit of luck (will know in the next few days) so might have to have a yarn to you about what you boys get up to down there when were at the waimak next week

I might have bumped into him, Wanaka is a small place. Althogh I'm moving upto Christchurch soon as I have a bub on the way..

DaveM, Have put you in the experienced group...

I wil be helping Al on the trainer group and I have CB, as well as a spare PRS handheld. I presume there will be a meeting at lunchtime where peeps can swap from one group to another?

Regards...Robbie

Hope so, I'd be ready to swap to the "trainee" group by then


Dave

[monaro427]

Yes we should meet up at lunch, we'll sort that out between ourselves once we have an idea on how many people actually turn up. I have two PRS handhelds with me too.

Cheers bill
