The Welly trip raised $200 for the RSA http://www.rsa.org.nz , the ChCh trip raised $65 (had less numbers), for all those that didn't go on trips please consider giving a donation to the RSA, these donation trips WILL be happening next ANZAC day. remember these guys did all that stuff so you go 4wd'ing and drink latte's and get a free holiday.

Donations will be open for a week, please PM elmo or myself if you wish to give a donation

Went for a looksee down the weedons rd end of the waimak. Headed upstream but found nothing wothwhile. Headed down into the river and made our way across to the nth bank but up near oxford way. Headed back down stream and found some good mudholes too play in. Finished the day winchng a cruiser out of a dirty big mudhole.

Took my beloved and Siwsie for a ride up the Waitotara. Hopefully, I will have a place to take my mates to shoot fallow deer.

Had a pique nique lunch, drove home.

On the way back, coming up a passing lane, two carloads of youths were buggerising about on the passing lanes.

Was a fair gap between them, so I passed the trailing car, full of youngish girl things, they was miffed at my truck daring to pass their Nissan primera, (what else?) so tried to over take me on the inside and force me into oncoming traffic at th eend of the passing lane.

lots of cars up MY arse too.

What was going on here? I heard there was a bit of trouble on this bit but I couldnt tell why?

Its a shame you didnt get any pics of me going round that tight arse corner in the pine forest.

Did your dad get a vid of me going up that steep bank? because he was still holding the camera when I went up.

Interesting. I went through there, and 5 mins later I wasnt being followed, so went back, heard a load of revving and apparently some had problems there.
