Description of tracks:
Kaingaroa Forest is one of the largest manmade forests in the Southern hemisphere. Lake Rerewhakaaitu Domain (base camp) overlooks the lake and towards Mt Tarawera only a stones throw away. Our trail will take you through some of the varied terrain that Kaingaroa Forest consists of and includes pumice/scoria hill climbs, axel twisting trails, a few ‘drop offs’ to keep you on your toes and generally some fun and adventure! These are trails that have never been used by 4WD’s before (not designed for ‘shiny’ trucks and WOF’s not required). You set your own pace and follow the arrows. This is a harder track than last year’s effort. All enquires welcomed.

`Roll over protection' any thing that will stop your roof from crushing right down!. we at the school pta thought this is a good saftey issue as some parts of the tracks are very steep .Most blokes that have winch/trails or bush trucks allready have roll bars, and these blokes are our traget group.If you think your roof wont crush down to far and we can see the protection then by all means come along

nah thats kaiangaroa ....and looks kinda like minganui as well a bit ... cool tracks
sorry to burst your bubble WOPASS, but these shots are not in Kaiangaroa or Minginui.
You are right in the fact that they are from another area though.
We just put up some knarly pics to generate interest.
Trust me when I say that this is what to expect on the event though.
Should be good fun.
