Hi there two ideas contact manukau 4 wheel club http://www.manukau4wd.org.nz or contact russel biggs from extreme 4 adventure park http://www.extreme4wd.co.nz/park
russel runs a full training system so it would be worth doing his course just to learn the basis in safety for yourself as well as your wagon

any way welcome aboard and let me know how things went
cheers mudlva

Thanks - I'll do that. I would like to do something today - how is access to Muriwai for some gentle driving on the beach?

Hi access to Muriwai best if you go down past the Golf course, but be carefull :wink: high tide is about 11:30am so wouldnt want you to end up in the tide :cry: so have a walk down first if your not sure :D
