welcome aboard ... what sort of truck do you have and what sort of trips do you normally do?

Red Rocks (stick to the track)
Rallywoods - keep an eye out for next trip
Akatarawa forest - Access via a club

check out the local clubs ... its worth joining one, have a look at kiwi4x4.org.nz as well
70 series prado (KZJ78) and 90 Series Prado (KZJ95)

Odlins Road - top of the Akatarawa Hill, access without a club, good fun if you just want a day out.

Its got another name... can't remember it. Its halfway along the road from Waikanae to Upper Hutt. Akatarawa Road
Find someone who's been up there before to go with you in another vehicle. It's not somewhere you want to get stuck or break down alone.
