NZ4WD Have a Go Day

[LR90NZ]

NZ4WD magazine, in association with Jeep Woodhill 4WD Adventure Park is featuring a “Have a go day” on Sunday November 29th from 10.00am to 2.00pm.
You can come along in your own vehicle, with the family – and be ready for a fun-filled day.
Admission will be free, and you’ll have the opportunity to go around a short and instructive course within the forest – recently voted the best facility in Auckland - under the supervision of experienced four-wheelers.
This course will be easy on your vehicle, but will give you a real taste of what four wheel and off road driving is all about. On hand will be experience people to help and guide you around the course.
4WD accessory and equipment retailers will also have stands so you can have a look at what’s on offer to improve your 4WD. Jeep will also have a couple of their new vehicles and will be giving rides around the course and NZ4WD will have their Project vehicles there.

And if you want more, there’ll be a “play area” – for a small charge – where you can get your 4WD down and dirty in a real mud bog!
If you’re all fired up for more after all this, you can upgrade to a full 4WD Park visit at a special reduced promotional price of just $45 just for the day.
BBQ and cold drinks on sale to feed your hungry family, plus full toilet facilities and maybe a coffee cart.

The 4WD Parks own Hagglund will be taking people for rides with children free with paying adult.

Access is via Rimmers Road and will be signposted.

I checked it out for the 1st time three weeks ago and talk about a blast. Roger and crew have done one hell of a job organizing the park. When you 1st look at the map your given, I thought "wtf", but then realised the format in done in blokes lingo & she's like reading an angry teenage daughter just before she blows up, no worries. The marked red tracks are the most difficult and you are advised not to try by your self unless you have full recovery gear on-board and a vehicle that can get you through. I couldn't resist at least trying one so had a crack at track 21. A nasty little loop track that will test you and your 4wd. For those that now the track, I did get through the worst of it with my 27" mud tires & 13" ground clearance and was only 10m from the end of the track when I slipped into the deep ruts so had to winch out.
I followed an Isuzu Bighorn who's driver had not been off road before for about 1/2 an hour and just to see how capable that vehicle was and to witness how this greenhorn coped and his smile, would of been the best advert Jeep 4wd Park could ever hope for, if it was on video.
Any body thinking about going this weekend for the 1st time, you would be made to at least not check it out. I'll be there if I could and still might if I can bribe the wife but apparently I got to be somewhere I don't want to be, the mother-in-laws. By the way take the $45 with you, because you will need it.

I'm looking forward to having a go this Sunday!
Cheers Herd, Orewa.
