SHINY TRIP: Easter Overnight - Wainui to Sutherlands

[Jerry]

just got back, awesome trip...highlights were towing Gazza's POS a million times , never let TONY(Taz01) pick the campsite again was a very nice spot apart from the wind a bit too windy for the tent so a very quick camper conversion for the SWB Prado which sort of worked

Look out for another trip that way (maybe after Queens Birthday Weekend ???) this one will be exploring the tracks on the hills and an overnight at the hut around there....

EVERYONE agreed that GAZZA was resposible for doing the trip report

Where are all the photos?

[gazza]

everyone except me agreed jerry lol ,, will write summink up tomorrow assuming i can actually remember much after a bit to much of a heavy session on thurs night. BUt hey the fire was cosy and my truck wasnt. ITs amazing just how fast 6am comes round

[Jerry]

Have pencilled in another trip around there for the 28th of June

[gazza]

wash out was straight forwards only probs we had was my starter motor craped out and was running like a dog so stalled a few times and in the middle of the washout was a struggle at one stage we had 2 hooked up to my front and jerry,s bullbars helping from behind

Well put Gazza.. i mean WOM.... have you recovered yet???

I thing everyone had a go at recovering you at some stage ....good practice for all

[gazza]

Hey ya whinging wom why you not out at the bach? Was thinking bout comeing down but layed on my comfy bed and got cold one from the fridge seemed a lot more civilised Plus remembered what that wind was last night but at least i could shut my doors, the other fj40 he slept in had half doors. I didnt envy him one bit. Luckily the rain just about held off.

[Jerry]

When you are doing the trip report GAZWOM don't forget the bit where Taz's daughter accidently kicked him in the nuts halfway thru last night which caused him to hit his head on his highlift at the same time

I was only on the trip on Friday but have posted a video of some of the highlights
Gazza being towed, again, and again and again and Jerry running away.

I tried to reply to this already but not arrive on the forum.. let me try again. THANKS for a great trip, a nice relaxed cruise with a great bunch of folk - count me in for another one. Gazza, I agree half doors in that wind was not very conducive to a great nights sleep, I have some plans to resolve that but need to work on the tyruck a bit to get it done.. mmmm shed time!

I have some pics avail at http://picasaweb.google.com/william.hamilton/Easter08 and some vids at http://youtube.com/user/williamhamilton

This was a great trip apart from the timesssssss that Gazza kept breaking down/stalling his POS!.

The campsite needs to be thought out a bit better next time... thanks TAZ01 though for blocking some of the wind that was howling along the beach on night two. Was funny to hear the nuts and highlift hit int he morning as well, well done Grace!! thats what daddy's are for though... (been there had it happen).

Thanks to all the turned up was good to see a couple of new faces as well, we need to see more though, don't be scared we don't bite... well most of us don't anyways.
