Following on from the last 8 years is the Biannual 4x4 event held in Waikaia.
The Ultimate High Country Experience is a 3 day event and based in Waikaia, and takes in day trips which vary from easy to extreme. The trips are run by the local Southern Trail Blazers 4WD club, the event itself is a fundraiser for, and run by the people of the local Waikaia Museum.
Waikaia is close to a well known track over the old man range or the Whitcoomb road, and this event goes much further into similar terrain, such as Blue Lake, and many other stations and areas not normally open to the public.
Here are a few pic's, depending on the weather will determine how the tracks are, but if you want hard there will be hard and easy there will be easy. If you come equipped with Simex's and a winch - there will be a track. If you come with good MT's there will also be a track. Runs in the past have been about 6 -8 trucks with 3 -5 runs per day giving drivers options.
The dates are 6th, 7th, 8th of February and this is Waitangi weekend. The night of the 5th there will be a barbecue tea and registration from 5pm till 8pm. Evening entertainment Friday night, the 6th.
