going by wises.co.nz for bulls road, Im guestimating 30-40 mins drive in the morning from whangarei, better than 2 hours from my place
Re: Laurie Sanson - Round 4 - 02 Mar 2008
As a local I recon on 45 to an hour from Whangarei central to the site.
Both Paparoa and Maungaturoto have old school hotels / pubs with good grub. I can see the Maungi one from my back yard so I would be keen on a beer or two!!
See you there Sat night?
Cheers Matt

Ha Ha !!!
You beat me to it! I was just going to post the Motor Camp phone number!
Cheers Muddymatt
P.S
Anyone coming up with a vehicle we can double drive?? Don't mind splitting the petrol money. I just don't have the spare coin to buy and run my own toy and the wife won't let me compete in her Discovery!!!
