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

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

Oh yeah - Don't book into Kaitia - miles away!!!

Paparoa also has a small camp site with cabins..........

I will grab the e-mail and post it tommorow.

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!!!

Has this place hosted some motorcross events in the past ? ?

Cheers
Chris

Not that I know of. There was a really big trial ride (bikes) up this way a few weeks ago.

Having lots of rain now to make sure we get plenty of mud!!
