Re: NorWest Unformed Roads
Ok, so an update.
I had a look at a couple of roads, the first one looks to be a bit scratchy in places, (no that I am worried) but shouldn't be too bad. and if your worried you can meet us at the other end or trim the small bit of gorse and grasses.
Other news is looks to be a bit of talking etc to be done as one road looks as though it heads straight over some septic tanks and very near some houses
but you can see the fenced off area in the back ground.
Tracks looking pretty slippery and wet. Hope it dries out a bit before Saturday
Also will be meeting 9am Saturday. Just call or PM to get the location.
Cheers

Hey,
I won't be able to make it either. I have a kids birthday party here at home that day
Nothing like the sound of a dozen screaming 7yr olds hyped up on sugar
Have fun guys

Re: NorWest Unformed Roads
Yep, I'm pretty keen too. Unless there is epic surf on (which ranks more important than breathing)...
Just gotta get the upper A-arms and tie-rods back on the truck, get an alignment and a WoF...
I'll PM.

Should be a good day out.
