Description: this trip will go round Wainui Coast stopping at Ocean Beach for Lunch, then it’s a 45min on the road to the entrance to Sutherlands Track where we will go to the Sutherlands HUT* for the night, limited space avaliable in the hut in the snoring section only, otherwise bring a tent or sleep in your truck. From there its out and over the rimutaka's . There may be an optional back round the Wainui coast if there is interest. There aren't really many 'play' area's there but these are optional and you will be shown where these are. Please be aware there are area's we need to keep off so please keep to the track…we will let you know where you can play. If theres a good pub there perhaps we can stop there on the way back in Martinborough?

* Yes we are staying at the Hut, not the Lodge which means that we will be roughing it so bring your blankie or your teddy if you get scared easily.


More info will be posted soon

another trip i cant go on!!

Man, you are as bad as me

I say
It has been quite a few haircuts ago that we have seen the Battletruck wallowing in the mud.

Count me in Jerry. Finally another trip where I don't need to drive very far from my mansion in "elite" Wainui to get to the startline.

[Jerry]

Good call Cloggy .... maybe Marks Nissan is scared of all the Toyota''s and Rovers ... and other Nissans on the trips ........ Maybe handbrake has put the handbrake on him ....don't panic ... I'm sure he will be on a trip next year possibly.....

We might need to send someone to drag Reece away from the pie cabinet at BP in Wainui as well

[Jerry]

This will be a grade 1-2 trip (1 = Shiny .... 5 = Hard Yakka)

We have access to some farmland over there so we may be able to camp out there for the night if desired, there may be some play areas there as well....

Those haircuts may be the case for some of you?

Count me in Jerry. Finally another trip where I don't need to drive very far from my mansion in "elite" Wainui to get to the startline.

I'll be over at my bach in the bush behind the "elite" Wainui so I'll be missing out on this one

pity these rules cut out the newbies without the correct gear??
we may come along in the nissan camper if i can sort some sh%t out....

[zukini]

sounds pretty good. just saw the roll bars on soft top part. does that count an escudo with no seats in the back?

front seats are covered by the standard roll bar



just an example

should be ok for the tow hooks (getting them on this week), first aid kit etc

Yep you'll be OK Open top generally refers to a vehicle with no roof such as a convertable..

[zukini]

sounds good im in then

[Jerry]

All these things will be checked at the meeting point when we extract $$$ out of you , if you are not sure maybe put a pic up of it Make sure all your gear is secured in your vehicle too, thinking for mine all the heavy stuff stropped down or tied down (it normally is) with my blankie over the top and a cargo net to keep it all in place....

Just an update on this trip, We can't get into Sutherlands Track because
of a prior booking we weren't aware of, so we will be looking at running
a shiny day trip from Wainui Beach to Ocean Beach. At Ocean beach we can
stop for a BBQ and some fishing and burying Nissans and Landrovers in
the Sand (and their owners). And return back the way we came. The
Sutherlands track trip will be postponed for a very short time (more on
this later), Meeting time and point is unchanged.

Perhaps we can have a beer night that weekend as well?

We are looking at organising a 2nd day trip for this weekend.....Odlins
Rd has been suggested, otherwise it may be somewhere else

howz about camping overnight at oceans beach and returning following day ???

[taz01]

heres a new idea so how bout leave Friday morning and camp at ocean beach side (around by the memorial ) that way we have a fish relax a bit then a road trip say to castle point or something the next day those who need to return home can those keen on going somewhere for another day do so maybe even camp out nother night .......it is a 4 day weekend so lets get organised....

[gazza]

SO whats the latest on this trip has anything been decided yet?????????????????????????????????????????????

a sleepover with fishing/bbq/beer sounds great to me

[Jerry]

Options are to camp out at ocean beach, otherwise we can spend the afternoon fishing etc there and then cruise over to NizSafari's farm he has access to for the night (note we can't chew it up), then we head back thru Ocean beach to Waini coast. Another option is the hut between ocean beach and wainui coast IF i can get access to it

If we did Friday to Sat that mean we could do another trip on Sunday or Monday????????

What do the other trip leaders think?????


HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING TO THIS TRIP (So we have an idea of numbers)

[taz01]
