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 :roll: 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

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.

Well looking forward to it tomorrow. Should be good as it will be dry enough not to leave to much mud over the roads etc

Should be a good day out.

Oh and just to remind people. $5 for financial members of Norwest and $10 for non members
