I'm almost ready for another Sheffield Mud Plug. This will be my 4th.
How's everyone else going??
Hoping the weather gods are going to be good to us this Sunday.
Looking forward to this one.

The Mud Plug venue is on West Coast Road about 1.5km south/east of Sheffield, opposite the intersection of the Waimakariri Gorge Road. It should be well sign posted. I hope the weather holds.
Cheers, Jeremy

Hopefully the weather holds off, it's not a good forecast, if they have to postpone to the following weekend then my entry fee will be a donation as i'm busy that weekend
Busy 4-wheeling on the coast
