Takapari is like a main rd at the mo, even the cross axeled section after the a-frame hut is now drivable in 2wd eh not alot of fun but still a good day out if its for a fundraiser

My understanding is the afternoon will be through private farm land, Think of Takapari Rd as a drive for the views...

Went on the rec for this yesterday.

There is some cool farmland that the trip goes through with some gullies that will have a bit for everyone.

Didn't have the simex's on so couldn't get up the steep hills (but gave them a crack of course).

With a bit of luck there will be a big dumping of snow for the Takapari trip and then nice sun for the afternoon.

For some reason there is a bit of wind on the farm. Must be something to do with the windmills they have there?? Perhaps they are creating it??

Yea that would be awesome, Takapari is so much fun in the snow and it would be cool for a lot of people in the shineys that might not of ever driven in snow before.
