Re: thompsons track
Can you retype that in English?
BTW, Thompsons is closed for use. I think that's what you might have been asking about.

Te Aroha side of the track is closed due storm damage.
Can still access the katikati side but your shiny Pajero won't get far even with M/T's ..........

Re: thompsons track
depending how far your driving to get there it might not be worth it. Its maybe 10-15min worth of driving until you get to a massive slip. Less than 5min riding on the quad.

It'll take you longer than that! We took about 6hrs to do a return trip with 6 trucks last weekend. Don't even bother trying on your own
Re: thompsons track
We cruised into Vandy maybe a month or so ago. samurai on 32s with a welded rear. Only stopped a couple times to check where the water was cutting into the track and check a couple rocks which were in the way. It was only maybe 1.5-2km of driving at a guess.
6hrs
Making it sound like the wires 
6hrs
