Trails around Hamilton

Post by Colinl »

Hi All,

Going up to Hamilton for a visit to the cousins & the uncle around the 20th Dec and am look for some easy trails to take them out for a drive on.

Anyone know of a trail as such?
I know the trail is usually only as hard as you make it.

Cheers

Colin

Ok decision has been made and yes I'll be keen on doing the track on the 21st of Dec (Sat)!

I've got a set of 31" KL71s, Recovery hooks + Rear hitch, snatch strap, drag chain & a deflator + compressor.

Any other gear?
