Been talking to Nuts in Westport and Him and Flag have made a start at the North End of Tailings, going in from the Totara Bridge end. So I suggest we get in there, easiest way to just meet in there as I assume most guys know the track?

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

I'll be staying in the campground ... look for a raised poptop :)

Looks like we've got some great interest, looking forward to seeing everyone there.
There shouldn't be too much water but it is the coast.... snorkels are a must :)

I have never been over to Westport 4wding so I dont know where any of the tracks are. Is there an organised meeting point each day?
Also is a snorkel going to be necessary as I don't have one :oops:

Probably best to organise a meeting place, as not everyone is staying at the same place.
Always an option to jump in with someone else if your wagon not up to the trip on a certain day.

If there are a few staying at the camp, I'm happy with that...
Perhaps I will park outside the camp from 8.30 in the morn and we head off at 9.00. 37 Domett st (left off main rd to seddonville etc)
Will be on prs ch 19 and will have ph on too 0276300950 :)
Of course, open to other suggestions too.

Once everyone realises wat fun it is clearing these tracks with guitar chainsaws you will all be wanting more.Seddonville needs some work as well but one thing at a time. Do da.
