lees valley

[oljamesyboy]

any1 been through there lately looking at doing it in couple weeks never been so after bit more info (condition grade etc) if any1 can help?

[oljamesyboy]

or if anyone keen to tag along

Few fords and the Okuku river. You could do it in a hatchback if the river is low. If you want to go thru to Harwarden then you need permission from McDonald Downs. On a scale of 1 - 5 Id say its a .5!! Unless the Okuku is up then it can get inpassible.

yea reading a old 4wd book (1999) says it a easy track but book is quite old

[tomsoffroad]

Its the same Im sure. Waimak council dont spend much money on that road

[oljamesyboy]

[Lost Jimny]

My wife was keen to do this track in a few weeks (the weekend after Easter weekend).

[oljamesyboy]

[SMOKEY]

I would keep away from that area the weekend of the 7th/8th as it is the opening of the Gamebird season, could be a few Hunters about.

You're not suggesting that hunters would mistake a 4WD for a gamebird?
I know my eyesight isn't good - but even I can tell the difference.

[SMOKEY]

, I know what you mean about the eyesight, as for some of the Hunters -------I've seen the way they handle guns and some shouldn't have them. My biggest concern is making the Geese a pest you will now have idiots using high power rifles to shoot them ,

DON'T GET ME STARTED.

might not mistake a truck for a game bird but if a whole pack of trucks are driving though a nicely set up area with mimi's and decoys that the guy has been working on all year and looking forward to for months you may find a few speed holes in ya trucks

There is a fundraiser tag along tour on this Sunday (now postponed till the 1st May) for those that are interested. It is for support of the St Georges Hospital Cancer Trust.

Meeting: 10am at the start of the Lees Valley Road.

The day will take in Ashley Gorge Farm and Okuku Downs Station. (So not your usual Lees Valley trip.) Great views guaranteed.

Cost is $20 per head.

Going to a great cause.

[NZJeep]

Not 100% sure but believe a member if the Suzuki Club has been involved in organising it and the Jeep club have been asked to assist on the day

[oljamesyboy]

[NZJeep]

Not sure of any other details other than what has been posted. Should be a fairly tame trip being a tag along tour. Dont quote me on this but wouldn't believe there would be any specific requirements regarding truck setup.

if its the jeep club , be a shiny.....just take ya tea and scones

Shows how much some people know - I guess if its not bush bashing or mindlessly trying to get stuck in the Waimak then it isn't worth a look a Wayne?

Isn't being organised by the Jeep Club, they are merely helping out for a good cause.

tongue in cheek bro tis a good cause........

[NZJeep]

Fair enough...

Anyone looking to go please note this has just been postponed till the 1st May.
