Hi all.
Just a quick intro!!!
My name is Darran.
My cars consist of 1990 Surf with a 3'' suspention lift and it has 32'' Bridgestone's on it!
Also a Big horn with no mods on it!
I live in on the North shore!!!! and im looking for place's to test out my surf. Does any one know of any on the North Shore???
The north shore huh? You might have to go park on the bonnets of all the little jap pocket rockets in supermarket carparks up there... Not much in the way of 4WDing in Auckland at all from what I can make out... you either fit 38" muddies and go get stuck in thompsons track or you move to Christchurch
Anyway, I'm sure someone from up that way will give you a more useful answer - but welcome to the board.
Is about $95/day to play. Lots of different terrain to play on. Failing that you would be best to join a club. Nearest to you would be Shore 4 wheelers. Heath on this board is a member and can pass on details (assuming he see's this thread)
There are about 6 or 7 seven clubs throughout Auckland so one of them should be what you are after.
Join either the Shore club or the Norwest club. Shore club has mtgs ever third wed of month at Taharoto rd scout hall (730pm ish) sorry not sure of Nor west (Scott whats the deal there?). Shore club is this Wed night (AGM followedby normal mtg) if you are interested in popping along for a look.
Most places that were a free for all have been so badly abused that they no longer exist and only organised groups (clubs etc) can get access (if we are really lucky). Clubs tend to have "play areas" set up with landowners in the Auckland area.
Insurance and liability seem to be the buzz words flying around now a days, so a club would be best place to start with. They also organise trips out of Auckland (Ruapehu area etc) everynow and then. It is becoming more comon for different clubs to band together on runs for mutual enjoyment and track maintenace also.
Thanks everyone!
I tried to email the guy who runs the shore club to get some info but I never got a reply! Maybe I had the wrong email address!!
You guy are right I have looked for places to go but came up blank every time!
We are off to do a beach run on the week end but thats the only place I could find!
You are right I would love to 4wd over some of those boy races!!!
Yea you've got Muriwai obviously, you can head to Poutu up Dargaville way about 2 hours to get there though, still a bit of fun. There used to be some good fire breaks 2 mins out of Orewa but the new motorway has cut straight thru the middle and is turning it it into a 4 lane highway (literally).
Theres also the Rodney club that you could look into if you wanted.
