Date and land access to be confirmed, Rated towhooks ARE required as we will be concentrating on new and interesting mud area's. Shiny vehicles and up, people without hooks can still come but will not be allowed to play. (get your hooks sorted now give Marty a call on 384 4141), new area's will be explored.

Is it stating the obvious if I say that I'll be there??

Be looking forward to it jerry, how would the 20th sound coz the 27th will be the weekend before cloggys rallywoods trip :idea:

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 9:56 pm

19th and 20th is the NZ4wdAssn AGM in Wellington, wot about the week before that??? Prado should be sorted by then

Sadam_Husain · Post by **Sadam_Husain** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 10:03 pm

the week before then maybe..... can get a bit difficult to go out 2 consecutive weekends

and then theres the breakages to repair :evil:

Handbrake · Post by **Handbrake** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 10:41 pm

Yeah, 27th Mark is going tramping, so maybe another date other than that and we will come. Now that I am a pro I could come myself, but it is much nicer and fun when Mark comes......also if I break something then he knows straight away, I don't have to come home and break the news! :oops:

I had lots of fun today. Yes it was meeee getting pulled out of the same bog 5 times! First time had my window down so couldn't floor it, second time had it in drive not first gear so floored it and it went nowhere! Third forth and fifth times were just for fun and practice, and also to see if I could get that extra metre!

Looking forward to getting into that other stuff in the valley on the way out. Mark may have to be permanently relegated to Co-Driver!! :wink:

New suggested date is the 13th...other option is a couple of weeks after the Rallywoods trip.....

I didn't realise that Mark had a 4wd anymore......or have you secretly put his boat on TM to buy your own one :roll:

Handbrake · Post by **Handbrake** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 11:32 pm

What do you mean....HIS boat!!!??? :wink:

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 10:34 pm

Just for that YOU are leading all of the trip HANDBRAKE...... :lol:

PS bring your strop/gate b***h as well :lol:

Had more thoughts about the route......basically we head to the woolshed and head down a bit and then leave the road and see how far we get..., bring extra recovery gear, winch gloves, shovel etc.....mud is optional, F&R rated hook with a good mount is required, trucks without Rego/wof are welcome, if you have a winch even better :lol:

, don't forget a change of clothes and gumboots.

If you don't have these or have a shiny truck you can still come but won't be allowed into the bogs....

are we going with the 13th as our new proposed date for this trip assuming Alan's happy to give us access?

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 10:46 pm

Yep...will confirm access soon....

Hopefully Truckie is there this time, there should be some muddy bits as well as less muddy challenging bits....

Bring Tirfors if you have them as well as water to clean out radiators etc.

Cloggy_NZ · Post by **Cloggy_NZ** » Sat May 05, 2007 8:26 pm

Yeah, you're right.
But I am getting old and I don't know if I can put up with the noise much longer. I am having trouble hearing my Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton CD's over all that racket. :lol:

Is that what that noise was?..... I thought it was your gearbox and diffs grinding themselves apart :lol:

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Mon May 07, 2007 8:46 pm

OK my truck is broke, Stinkys truck is broke a few other trucks are not complete and/or broke so I'm going to suggest that we push this back few weeks........thoughts....

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Mon May 07, 2007 8:54 pm

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Mon May 07, 2007 8:59 pm
