went round on saturday night, you have to drop down to the beach and then get back onto the track. there is a washout which has cones etc round it.

long gully key?
can be arranged

pretty easy to get around it on the beach just dont get to close to the water (like the seal tour man did) Hahah.

na, busy week.

besides I was asking for other people who are planning on visiting our region

skid,talking to my old man on sunday, he went round in his stock hilux a few days back, he said it was easy driving and the gates in good condition.

hope this helps

I took some English friends around on Saturday. One of the girls has a blog, very funny

The drop off before the gate is still there but I dont think anyone on here will have problems with it.

I was planning to go to the lighthouse but just past the Karori Stream I found myself down by the water when I should have been close to the top. I had to do a quick exit back up the beach before things got tricky.

On the way back we had some more fun, but there were other trucks about and the girls in the back thought it was great fun when we stopped (we don't say stuck)

Finally, there is a piece of the track that is washed out near the rutts, the bit where you used to go up and over and come down the axle bender, just past the fenced off part. Going out was fine but coming back we found the downward side was washed out and every truck had issues, except the Zuks of course.

There was a Mitzy van that had to be stropped by the roof so it didn't fall over. You could go over the top but not if you like your plastic bumpers, or around by the water, but you would need lots of HP and decent tires, I have neither so I stropped up behind a Safari and just eazed my way through.

SOOOOOO you got stuck huh ??? LOL

Verb 1. get stuck - be unable to move further; "The car bogged down in the sand"
grind to a halt, mire, bog down

I was none of the above thank you. I was still moving forward and back. I choose to halt and pass on the expirence of being recovered, as a training tool. yeah, yeah thats what it was... training

Ive done loads of trips around RR when I lived there in my very cool FJ45.. hungry little beast but then gas was like 50c a litre.. Its great to hear that you can still get around that way.. I used to shoot feral goats for a cocky that backed onto the coast.. forget it now some gully.. tracks everywhere..was awesome.. oh the memories..
