Im staying in town too & was wanting to have a play in either Ashley or Waimak...maybe on Friday

[COMILUX]

could be interested for friday, havnt done waimac in a while - did south side lastime and was good tracks and decent size ruts but id say it would be very dry at the moment

[RJT]

It is way too dry on both sides of the waimak at the moment! Very dull and boring! Did it last weekend.

[COMILUX]

thats what i thort, can you recomend anywhere? did ashley a few weeks ago but wasnt anything special there realy either, wouldnt mind doing waipra for a change but nt sure whats hapening down there at the mo

[4Paws]

I would be keen for a bit of a play depending on how serious it gets as i haven't arranged tow hooks for the front yet and what day you guys want to go, cant make it out saturday due to motorsport commitments

[tallsam66]

How about to Waiapra Gorge for a look around..ive never been there & id like to check it out before the nofun brigrade ban access to non locals in 4wd's.

am keen to go and have a look around on sunday, maybe just the waimak as was down there in the shiney the other day rescuing the jet boat and looking for caths truck, and saw some new hills and stuff that look like a challenge to climb

[pathfinder67]

heading down the Conway saturday spending the night there and heading out to the beach on sunday. You would need a snorkel though, tow hooks and ropes. Should be fun as I haven't been down it since the last lot of heavy rain and I expect the course has changed and the bottom to be very soft.

[RJT]

Only got the new wagon 3 weeks ago so haven't had a good look around as of yet... A mate and I are going to do a recon at a track at jacksons (otira area I think) on sunday just to see what's there. But yeah waimak is very boring atm.

and looking for caths truck

Yeah I heard Cath's truck got pinched! Bastards!

Did you get pics of these guys?

Where were you when they abused you?

Maybe they are the same people who have been abusing other 4wders down there.

[zookfest]

I was told by some guys in the suzuki club that were also up there not to take the track that goes off left by a wooden post as you start heading into the narrow gorge as they have there patch in there,they looked like something off once were warriors ,wouldnt have wanted to be there alone,Nick gave them a wave and said they wernt to happy

[COMILUX]

prob a couple of hundred meeters from the gorge they were in 4wds and acording to someother 4wds they saw them planting there dope down there.
was a good trip tho very soft p shingle down there you wouldnt want to go alone but also some chalenging rocks ect to have a play on.
zookfest got very stuck in some and had alot of water onboard but his bilge pump worked a treat, hes very light and even i strugled geting him out.
dont have any photos sorry to busy driving
