Havent been round the coast there for quite some time and considering the bottom of Karori stm always used to be tidal, is the piece of track cut into the rock face still there that takes you around to the bachs or do you have to ford the stream through the tidal part? :scratch:

bit of track in the rock is still there. Tis more fun to go over the sand though.

If you stick to the track and not venture into any of the soft stuff in the bays then you'll be fine

No cellphone coverage out there.....

Ok rang Terewhiti, they advise me that the creek part including the bowl is their land, the guy suggested that the GPS maps may not be correct....he also said often there are pig hunters in that area so having a 4wd crashing thru the bush may not be a good thing....I asked about getting access up there but didn't push it as he seemed rather annoyed about idiots going up there with out permission, to be fair he did point out that terewhiti has been really good to 4wd'ers etc over the years and they didn't have to do it.

So basically its not confirmed yet, I wouldn't suggest we go in there.....I don't want to be explaining to other local clubs why we lost access for them (if we did and he turned round and said stuff you)

I have made a booking for terewhiti for the 26th for ORE, I will put up another thread about this.

Re when its closing for the wind thingy, no set date yet...it will be when Meridian say so.....

That may explain the rather long lecture I got when I mentioned it to him...he sounded really pissed off....

Mrs Husain has granted permission

Mrtripleader or your assistant, have you got a couple of heavy trucks confirmed so we dont have to rely on a couple of little handbags to try and extract my 10 ton cruiser when it gets burried up to its door handles in sand

Whilst arround Red Rocks you are only allowed on the track and to the Seaward side of the track. No climbing the Dunes etc as this damages the fragile Grasses that are being regenerated there.
Any foolish behavior will have repercussions for us all and will be viewed very seriously by the Council and other users.!!

Thanks Carl....if you read back in the thread I have actually stated this, also I have given Mr Offroader (who is the trip leader) a quick drivers briefing which includes this.

Will you be joining us? I can tow your van if it gets stuck again :lol:
