Hey guys, names Baden, 24 and working for the Wellington Free Ambulance as a Dispatcher / Call taker. I am very very new to the off road scene, my experience spans of 6 trips around the south coast over devils gate and out to the light house, which includes getting stuck twice

welcome baden..
you may wanna jump in with someone else but honestly chap, theres only one way youre going to get experience off road and thats sittin in the hot seat yourself.. get advice from others as ya go but remember, ultimately she's your rig bud, any mischief that occurs will be yours to live with. not them.
now go have a ball..

I've recently bought a Safari and have learnt a lot more while actually being in the hot seat than I ever would being in a silly seat.
There's a whole friendly bunch hiding around the Wellington region that I'm sure would be more than happy to sit in and teach you what to do
Also, Greetings!
Currently driving: 2000 Nissan 200SX. and 1988 Nissan Safari
