I could be keen to jump in on this trip Tim, haven't had a run over Westport for a couple of years.

[Team Tonka]

The August dates look good, I'd be keen too. Cheers Andy.

[albundy]

[albundy]

Tim sold his truck so not sure who will be organising this one now.

[Smurf]

Any more interest in organising this?
I'm keen on a few days away.

Hey Smurf I could be keen to do something if I can get my ass into gear and finish truck, not much to go.The old nurses home is a sweet place to stay.

Tailings track is not passable at the moment has heaps of trees down. Will need afew big saws to clear the track.

[andrew007]

Hey Tom, I hear there is a shop in Merivale that sells mud stickers!

tailings track can be opened again with a bit of effort.So can the others damaged in the storm .To many people see afew trees down and turn back instead of getting stuck in and doing a bit of work,every little bit helps.Most of these tracks have been closed by storm damage in the past and have all been reopened.

Don't mind giving a hand to clear a track or two Flag
but I'm not walking all the way in this time

A group of us from Nth Canty club cleared Moa Bones (a large number of hours and huge trees) at Q Birthday but Flags will take quite a bit more effort...
I'm keen to take a group in there to make a start on it but need willing volunteers (and before spring when I get too busy or Xmas time). There is a huge amount of trees crisscrossed up both sides of the track.
It's important to keep these open for all of us to use

cheers Bev, I will give you a call if I organise anything and transport will be provided. Did a bit on tailings a few days ago and I don't think its to bad.
cheers Flag.

[drive it ...]

Hi, anyone know if the road past the Tailings Track turnoff (Charleston end) is clear up to the top turn-around where the walking track up Mt Fleming starts? Thanks.

Can do a Westport work weekend 9/10 Aug when the trip was originally down for. Only got a little saw though And my tyres are only 33's but at least I've got a big.... lunch box

Steve, If you are keen, I'm in for spending 3-4 days in Westport and spend 1-2 of them clearing some of Tailings or somewhere else.
Any others keen on a bit of a working bee and a few days driving. Nuts owes me a trip to the top of Mt Fred.

[andrew007]

im keen.what dates would suit you flag;i will work in with you?

[Smurf]

I think the weekend of the 9/10 Aug or 16/17th. I good for either, but the 16/17th would be better.
Either way I'm definitely in.

[Smurf]

Any more interest in this?

[Still Unbroken]

Definitely keen....
I plan on going over about Wed or Thurs (6-7/08/14) and staying in Westport (prob camp ground) through till Sun or Mon.
I am keen to make a start on any of the tracks damaged and hopefully finish one or two.
Also there for a bit of fun so a few good driveable tracks along the way...

Perhaps put your name below and dates you can make it so we can have a bit of a team situation
I have a couple of chainsaws etc.
Cheers.

I could do the 9-10 aug. I have a big saw and a mate is willing to come help as well who has a saw.
We are both happy to camp in the bush.

4. Drive It. 9th & 10th.

I'll head over to WP Fri evening. Pref stay at Westport Holiday Park. Probably just come over in my work ute and get a lift to tracks. If weather is good might look at using some leave and taking the prado over.

[fisho]

You guys sort out dates and I will do my best to be there. For the guys talking about camping out in the bush there wont be any shortage of firewood. .
