Westport Winter 2014

[hosehustler]

After the success of last years trip and another winter looming it's time for a mission......Westport is the go this year
looking at late july/early August before the Nor-westers arrive, chuck your name up with any preferred dates and we'll concrete a date within the next couple of weeks.
Grade 4- 5+ weather dependant, isn't the terrain for all in the winter

[Still Unbroken]

Dead keen to go and help out along the way... Club will be in there early June so will scope out any new possible places.
Late July would be great.

Without a doubt, looking at staying at Westport in the camping and cabins, great facilities, cabins or campsites and no fuel between Westport and Karamea so i figure it to be best spot, ive stayed there plenty of times, it's a beautiful spot and great BBQ area

Grade 4-5+
i'd expect a well set up vehicle, plenty of bar work, snorkel, 33inch(minimum) mudgrips, preferably a winch, all the hand tools, and well seasoned steerer who won't mind some possible panel damage.

hope that helps
