Hey dazza concidering the distance you have to travel down from the sunny hawkes bay the following weekend would be the better on to come down if you have it free, that'll be the Wgtn Anniversary weekend Rallywoods/Aka's trip which will have a pretty big turnout of trucks and ORE people. Heaps and heaps of tracks to cater for shiney through to hard yakka stuff.

[Jerry]

unless you are doing both weekends

[Sadam_Husain]

Shit I'm still pulling prickles out of my hands from all that bloody gorse we cut back last weekend

[Jerry]

We still need to make that special track for mike how hard can it be to kill a surf

[dazza85]

unless you are doing both weekends

Hmmm now theres an idea ... Don't think I can get a weekend pass for 2 in a row ... Will aim for next weekend, Will meet a lot more of you that way.

[curly12]

Will be there for the overnighter

[Jerry]

If you are stuck for a floor either weekend just yell...must warn you about the cats .... one likes to scratch your face whilst you are sleeping and the other likes to lick your face whilst you are sleeping

ya cant kill a surf jerry mine still goes but now i have diff breathers,skid plate and a snorkel wanta follow me in ya prado.
are we going to open up some bottom tracks this time?

[Sadam_Husain]

are we going to open up some bottom tracks this time?

Yes Please, we need to find some new tracks that we havent used before, the only track below the hut I've done is the rubbish dump loop off the main logging road. I was looking at the map in the hut last Sunday and it shows loads of lower tracks... whether there still there or not I dont know... time to find out aye? Bundy might make a good guide if he's about on the weekend?

[Jerry]

Paul may be around to show us the tracks otherwise we should go exploring and clearing

[abbo]

so how many people are in for the nite then theses bottom tracks sound cool to me just let taz01 go 1st he can do some clearing with the front of this truck or the back what ever works

[Jerry]

I'm there for the night.....and I will book myself in the snoring etc section of the hut

[turoa]

theres a track down the bottom of fawk hill, you go left down the bottom of it and up the track, and there is a fork. usually you turn left to do the loop, but if you go right there is a washout. Not sure where it goes though

[DieselBoy]

And theres another i found at new years while out for a walk with the rifle, you head straight off the end of the air strip towards Fawk Hill, about 100m down that track from the end of the air strip, there is a little wet patch where the water is sitting in the ruts.

Immediatly before that wet patch on the left is a track. The first 20m of the track is over grown to buggery and you would miss it unless you were on foot, but after that it opens out nicly and leads to one or of the best hill climbs i have ever seen. Its a fawkin monster!!!!!!!! The track doesn't look like its been used for aaaaaages

I walked it a bit, but it was getting dark, looks like a long track. Couldn't persuade anayone to give it a go with me, so its up to you guys

[Jerry]

I saw 2 deer on the road going out one time......missed them with my bullbar though will check it out...

[abbo]

that track dieselboy was talking about sounds like fun will try get jerry with his new toy to go 1st we will need to have a look on saturday

[Jerry]

I thought Tony said he was going 1st

If we dont find this one on the weekend of the 19th I will be so very very disappointed because when the landrover comes up at queens birthday sure as chips it will be the only thing most likely of ever climbing it (maybe dodzees if he parks next the landy in the campsite for long enough

[taz01]

I thought Tony said he was going 1st

yeah i will jerry but I will be pushing you in front of me weather your in ya truck or not, got diff breather done yet?

[Jerry]

LOL we could hook Curly up on the front and make a conga line

[Sadam_Husain]

Yep book me down for this one again Jerry, after spending last Sunday digging and cutting and clearing and loading and getting prickles in my hands and generally busting my arse all day in the hot sun how could I turn down the oppotunity to do it all again? I've spent this afternoon doing half the maintence my truck needs for The Anniversary Weekend trip so I should be right for this one

I couldnt see any meeting time/place anywhere in the thread so shall we say.....

Meet Cnr Haywoods Hill Rd and Moonshine Rd 9.30am Sat Morning and departing for Green Hut 9.45am

I'll throw my weed eatter on the truck to give the grass a going over around the hut and camp ground, I havent got any small chainsaws at home so I cant bring one of them and I'll throw the spades and loppers in as well

[Jerry]

Yep sounds good...just finishing off my rear diff breather at the moment

[Jerry]

Don't forget its an overnighter as well (optional)

[taz01]

Who is staying overnight ..........
