Offroad-Express

Ok guys, this trip is on for next weekend. If it is raining then we will have another property to got to for this trip.
Marty and myself will decided on the Friday if there will be a change.

Some of the areas we are going into will be too slippery if it is wet. There are some very steep tracks that are rock and loose gravel and rain will make them too dangerous to drive safely.

I wonder if Taz knows ya usin his Pyjamas to clean ya parts

The meeting point is down by the Kyber pass at the bottom of the coast road marked with the red arrow and I've marked the proposed route onto the map with red dots

For the day trippers, is there the option of leaving via Wainui or does it have to be via Ocean Beach?

With the part down the river, and the recent rain, is a snorkel going to be a necessity.

I would like to be a day tripper if that is still an option

Though, what are the plans for the Sunday

Cheers
Ian

See you there

Snokel's will not be required as this is a shiny trip and is weather dependent. If there is rain alot of the tracks will be to dangerous to drive, in which case we will divert to doing the ocean beach run and back again.

Sunday will be a drive down the coast for those overnighting at the Hut if they want

Looks like policia may be up and runing for this trip so might bring it along just need to sort a few things then should be all go .

If it is wet then the trip will be cancelled, there may be a drive to ocean beach but no alterntive trip will be availible now.

the POS doesn't care where it goes this weekend but is keen and raring to go

Think that is plan b...................... So do we need to book just in case....??????? So it wont be a shiny now if we head in there.... How many shiny trucks are there. Most are club trucks i think thanks abbo.....

don't look at me.....I ain't the trip leader anymore

Maybe ask CURLY

The Orongorongo Stn have offered 13-14 March as an alternative if the weather turns to shit but I think thats the weekend we're heading over to Williams at Carterton so someone might as well book rallywoods or the Beer Bach or something so we've got somewhere to go and consume the contents of our chillybins for the night.... would hate to see good beer go to waste?

looking at 7th or 14th for william's place

maybe look at a date past this to rerun the wainui coast trip. ????
