Time to put your POS trucks where your mouth is !!! coz we are going back to the firewood loop !!!!! :D

http://www.offroadexpress.co.nz/node/633
(theres more videos in there).

Come in to Rallywoods the night before, or turn up on the day. (to be confirmed if avaliable)

Kiwi4x4 Inc (previously the ORE 4x4 Assn) will be running this, Trip leader is Reece (Suzuki1K), you will require proper hooks, first aid kit, spade, fire extingisher etc (these will be checked), $15 fees for the Sunday, add $5 if you aren't a NZFWDA member. Rallywoods fees apply if you come in Sat.

Track is walkable for those not wishing to take their vehicle thru, there may be a limit on the number going thru this track, the trip leader may restict unequipped trucks thru this track, good mud tah's are required, lsd, locker and or v8 are recommended :twisted: if there is time afterwards we can do the ruts or the slippery forest as well.

BOOKINGS ARE REQUIRED

so who's keen :twisted:

EDIT: change of date to Sat, Booze up at Rallywoods afterwoods
