Reefton Winter 2013
Reefton Winter 2013
Lets sort something.
According to my calender, School holidays are around 12th July -29th July.
I think all you CHCH boys need to sort a date and the rest of us hanger ons can make it or not. Or do we wait for Al to tell us when he can be here?
Plenty of Camping at either the Reefton Camping ground or out at the Slab Hut Creek campsite, 10km South of Reefton.
http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recrea ... hut-creek/
If this goes ahead, I will likely spend the week in Reefton.
As there are likely to be a few trailer queens do we stay around Reefton or would guys be keen on a day or overnighter into Lake Daniels?

Re: Reefton Winter 2013

I kinda had the same thought, If there is enough interest I'll get in touch and see about booking it.

Re: Reefton Winter 2013
A date needs to be set fairly soon because the Nurses home at that time of the year would be the best base and it needs to be booked sooner than later.
Because of the numbers attending a couple of trips will probably be need to run each day which means the Rock crawlers would have plenty to do in the Chasm and Stony creek

Re: Reefton Winter 2013
Likewise, I will be keen.
Haven't driven any Reefton tracks in a 4x
Have driven some, years ago in a VW tube racer.
Maybe I will have some barwork done by then!
Fitzy, if you are in need of a ride then maybe I can help you out.
Hope you can stoop to driving

PRADO!

Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set.

As it hasn't made it out of the shed for 4 yrs, probably very unlikely



But Jas can pull you through anyway

Ugly is a state of mind..... and the state of my truck!
