I own a 4wd so I don't have to walk



just ask everyone what they've driven over the last year, and then go open all the tracks that no one has driven.

that was easy wasn't it

[Cloggy_NZ]

Mark me down as a possible Tony.
I might be able to drag my arse out of bed that early on a Sunday morning.

[Jerry]

Tony...I spoke to Paul.....this will be a light work day so no trip fees for those who attend and contribute.

I can tow you out of bed if you want Cloggy or I can bring the train horn round if you prefer LOL

I'll drag the BBQ and the coffee thingy up as well.....byo meat and stuff

[some old tracks now dont exist or been renamed or moved

old tracks never disappear, they just need driving more

[Cloggy_NZ]

Are you sure?
I have yet to find a rated towhook on my body.

[taz01]

I am hoping we can get a few people who've done a few of the older tracks and point us in the general direction and give us more challenges so any body who knows where they are please turn up........getting bored with the same ones

There seems to be a track at the bottom of the Sisters? (the two hills leading away from the Donut).
When going downhill and just before getting on the main track where the downhill veers sharp right onto the main track there is a bog right in front of you. I have tried once before of getting through there (not a chance, what was I thinking ) Once through this bog though the track goes left into the bush and through another bog. Don't know where or how far it goes after that.
But I reckon that first bog is just the right size and depth to fit a particular white Surf

[Cloggy_NZ]

And at the top of the Sisters there is that really overgrown track that goes downhill.
Where does that go?

Back down to the track leading up to Donut from the Hut

Arent they a couple of Truck swallowing bottomless bogs?
I cant say I'd ever noticed that there was a track leading away from those bogs? Might be a good bog to field trial your new winch cloggy

i can see cloggy now....."hmmmm they look unused and not to deep lets just drive straight in".....

[Jerry]

Wgnt Newbie ... you can drive your car up to the hut

[Heath]

I can tow you out of bed if you want Cloggy

Are you sure?
I have yet to find a rated towhook on my body.

I bet he has a ring piece. put a hook on that and I guarantee movement (just warm it up first)

[wgtnnewbie]

well in that case no ride needed just a spare seat when it's time to test tracks....lol

The train horn might be more effective.....his missus will wake up first and then beat me up and then wake him up and beat him up....his neighbours looked a bit rough too .... hope I can run fast

Sure do! we found one when I was up there. Battered Vitara 400mm in front of bonnet. All I could see was the Brakelight
A certain other South Islander backed out of that one. Something about his paint....

That's what I love about this site...people come up with some real funny stuff quite often. Thanks Heath, that gave me and the missus a good laugh this morning.

Arent they a couple of Truck swallowing bottomless bogs?
I cant say I'd ever noticed that there was a track leading away from those bogs? Might be a good bog to field trial your new winch cloggy

That's exacty what I did last time, just drove straight in. There is a photo of it on the old photo site.

Many thanks to those who turned up , I think we have enough work setup for next week in clearing tracks should be interesting to try them out ,as for being a quiet non braking day I think we done enough damage I now need a 4,3 diff if anyone close has one will post last in wanted section. see ya all next weekend.........

[Jerry]

Thanks Tony (TAZ01) for organising a great day out of the Welly Chapter of the ORE Tramping Club nah it was a worthwhile day out looking at the tracks, we found some good ones to open/reopen...... there was even a very minor bit of track clearing and Cloggy broke some more landrover and Tony's front diff finally crapped out. the Bonnet Map on your truck Tony was a fantastic idea .... needs cupholders for the next one

Its worthwhilst doing another one of these... whens the next one Tony.
