Hi Frank, check out the link below to the map, sector Q7 where the blue line intersects Main West Coast Road. This is where the Pub is, you cant miss it.

4 trucks turned up so we went up the waimak...... easy run did it in 2wd. Then we decided to go to the selwyn river, went in at horoata and headed for cose ford. First problem was wheel nuts loosing off on all trucks one truck lost 1, second problem the misses (Bubbles) truck started to over heat (already had a stuffed starter moter before we started) but we carried on, the VX found a nice deep hole and after breaking his rope I ended up winching him out, then Bubbles got stuck in the middle of a river crossing so I tryed to go around her by following some tyre lines and got stuck deep!!!! so I got winched out, Bubbles started to over heat again so she stuck her nose in a bit of a hole to cool it down!!!! then I gave her a bit of a nuge to push her in futher so she floored it, in very deep ( water coming in window), then got the air filter full of water (engine stalled) final draged her out and spent 30 min to get all the water out of it and crash start it then drove home.

Frank has got some realy good photos so I hope he puts them up for us!!!!
