we concentrate more on our side which we did a working bee on over the weekend.

what are the tracks like on that side mate ? may be an option for a group to head that way on one of the days to split things up ?

yep

dude, only been there once, and that was right at the start when the tracks were made

Geez Skid that make you sound older than young Bob :lol:

Good to see a common sense approach re hooks, pencil me in with my Prado.....Bubba was keen for the drinking part of the trip I think :lol:

And Shell was keen to I think....anyone else from down this way keen :lol:

you better be sure that your stuff is in order mate as ill be checking it :wink:

i might even bring some NDT gear and crack test it just to make double sure

will see how the numbers stack up nearer the date before making plans for the days,but rest assured it will be fun for everyone

would be nice if a few of the lads who have been there with us would pipe up and say what they thought of the place :roll:

... maybe a few pics and vids to stir it up might work ?

by the looks of the rallywoods pics and vids i dont thing its a good a play area as that but i havent been on or seen all of the tracks so... there is much more in there and it needs to be discovered :twisted:

Ok safari_mulisha (Nathan) can't sign in to ore for some reason but hes keen, hopefully he can get his SAFARI all certed and roadworthy by then and it should be a beast.

Hmmmmm what to take my big SURF (sixth truck from the left in the photo wopass posted) or a-frame my ZUKI behind nathans safari which should be done with its lift and brand new sats etc lol

Just talked Handbrake out of doing a squash tournament that weekend (which was REALLY hard... What are we doing Labour weekend?. I might be playing in a tournament, why?. There's a 4wd trip up north. Ok) :lol:

So we'll be there. I like doing something different, so a trip away is always high up the priority list. We'll probably have to bring the kids too, but they love camping out - thankfully!

if i dont go up north i may be a starter. might drag both the TJ's down, so the wife can have a play without me ####### her wagon again.

would be nice if a few of the lads who have been there with us would pipe up and say what they thought of the place ... maybe a few pics and vids to stir it up might work ?

Ok a few more pics of some of the holes and mud slides down in the Ngaroma.

Just a few pics...Yeah that is WOPASS getting towed by a Safari....!
