Canterbury Xmas Trip / BBQ

Post by 4x4boy »

Thought I might try and get things underway here. If we can sort where we are going then we can work on a date. Poll will expire 6th Nov.

Things to consider:

Proximity to Chch
Play area for most level of Trucks
Suitable for Families
Swimming hole??
Picnic area
1991 Isuzu Mu - BUGGER Blew it up. Next> Landy Discovery - Sold (gone up to Wellington). - Landcruiser Prado - Bodylift, Snorkel, Tow Hooks, Simex Jungle Trekka 2's

the offer is there and we could have a play at the bottom of the garden too

Should be no problem. You only need the 35's and lockers to get up the drive, once you are in, it's all sweet and easy. :twisted:
Aint that so Rik????? 8) 8) 8) 8)

Riks place hadn't been offered when the poll was setup. It is looking like Riks is gonna come through at the top anyway guys.

Hey Rik, maybe you might like to check you calender and see what suits you and set up another thread for a date???

Riks place is looking pretty good,though not sure if you can call it a garden when the tree's are that large :D

Lets get another tread/poll going for a date before the rain-dear get here.

Looks like a great play area, anywhere that has holes that can nearly swallow Supralux's Mu has to be all good.

Also need to confirm a date.
