someone suggested the 2nd and 3rd. Perhaps the consensus however is that we ought to schmooze the local/s and talk more to doC before anything is done?
DB - yup, covered this already tonight, but the general feeling is for us to dot out i's and cross our t's and try to be as overt as possible. which makes sense. unless of course wagons start developing broken glass.

not yet mate, hopeÃng to see my mate at work tomorrow to see if he knows the farmer there at all. will let you know. may be we give it more time to sort out/set up then plan it ?
If you already know everything, DON'T ask bloody questions!!
Sounds good I'm still not sure I can get out next weekend anyhow. The leave pass from the wife is still pending Bens right though we do need to get up there while the motivation is high. Its a cool track I'm looking foward to getting back in there and hopefully getting further than the slip this time
ran into blokes from the waikato 4x4 club at thommos yesterday and told em what we were suggesting, didnt get much of a response, but directed them to the forum to get in on the conversation if they so wished.
Still waiting to here back from Bro-inlaw. He did say the Outcast motorbike gang used to be up there somewhere but may have moved on, apparently you didnt want to Fawk with them....
He is also trying to get in touch with a contractor that is near there too and see what he knows.
I spoke to a neighbour (actually a new employee I just hired) and he has ratified some of the perceptions of people here. Simply.... It aint worth it.
The track may be fun, but the probability of nasty grief is high, and although some of us are of the "#### them" opinion, the general consesus, once tesosterone has abated, is that we should get on and find alternate tracks.
One of which is the Aotea block (is that right wopass, cant remember?) and around the Kawhia area.
Not sure if people are still looking at this but went up Vandy road today. The cozzie 4wd club has done a bit of work up there but it really needs a digger. Especially for the slip and to fix the entrance. But looks like it's been seeing a fair bit of traffic. Would be a great track to see more usable. The entrance holes are full of big rocks, but after that it's just clay. I did it in my standard 72 range rover and had to winch 3 times. The start is the toughest holes due to the rocks.
