nearest lpg is in wainui bubba

[Sadam_Husain]

What kind of distances are we talking Marty. I'm guessing that the nearest LPG will be Ynui, don't yah luv LPG (NO I HATE IT!)

I'm also thinking the the low profile Coopers would be a better pick for the conditions, aye?

Distance depends on if you want to sit in the sun and focus on your chilly bin or do lots of driving but it wouldnt be more than what you'd do in a day in the Akas and yep theres LPG in Wainui

And yep the coopers would be better or you'll rip the mudzillas up on all the rocks

New Updated Trip Details

Theres been a bit of behind the scenes working out going on the past couple of weeks, The orongorongo club had already booked out this date with the Orongorongo Station for a social overnighter around the coast and have arranged the use of barneys whare for the saturday night. The Orongorongo club is my bach owners group that deals with all our DoC matters concerning our baches and also negociates our access accross the Orongorongo Station to access our baches by vehicle. So theres been a bit of discussion with the committee people to see if this can become a combined trip with the Orongo Club and ORE (or kiwi4x4) and after some initial concerns of "what sort of beer the ORE guys drink?" and "do they drink enought beer" and "do they bring their own ice to keep the beer cold" and "do they bring enough emergency beer" its now a combined trip

So the details are

Kiwi4x4 & Orongorongo Club Wainui Coast Trip

Vistors welcome, but will need to pay the day fee ($5) if not a NZFWDA Member

Date:
Saturday 28th Feb to Sunday 1st March (those not staying can be let back out the gate Saturday afternoon)

Trip leaders
Marty and Nigel



Meeting Place:
Wainui Coast Road, The padock on the lefthand side of the road just before you drive through the pass onto the coast (where you'll see all the other vehicles parked)

Meeting Time:
9.00am Saturday

Cost:
Dunno yet TBA

Trip Grade:
Shiny with some play areas on the coast

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
tow hooks
first aid kit
fire extinguisher
rated recovery stop
Spade
As it is a Shiny trip please contact myself or Nigel if you don't have all the listed equipment

Trip Route:
From the Coast road up onto the airstrip ridge and down the old track down to the River then up to the old radar station or gun emplacements or whatever they are called up on the end of the main ridge behind the old station homestead then back down and around the coast and around to Barneys whare. From here its either play time on/around the coast or cold BYO refreshments at the hut

All those staying will need their own tenting as Barneys only sleeps a small number and it usually gets used to shove all the kids into to go to sleep, the hut has a flush toilet but I dunno what the water supplys like as I havent used it for 2-3 years, would pay to take some drinking water with you. I'm pretty sure theres still a big BBQ plate and some outside furniture, tables etc outside the hut for cooking and eatting and theres plenty of driftwood on the beach that can be collected on a few utes to keep the fire going. Theres plenty of diving on the coast so dont forget your wetsuits so we can have paua on the BBQ

Its a family and kid friendly weekend and dont forget the ice to keep your refreshments and stuff cold and the beer will stay safely tucked away in your chilly bins untill the trucks are parked up.

Edit 4/2/2009, now confirmed as a Kiwi4x4 trip

Is this going to be an add-on to the trip???

Will we be ok in our muddy 4wding gear????

Is Sadam allowed in Te Papa wearing his checked shirt???

Will Jerry be allowed in his gumboots also???
Do they have a bbq we can cook our lunch on???

Do they a waterblaster so we can clean our wagons afterwards???

And is there the option of an overnighter??

If so can we book the non snoring and non farting section please

[Sadam_Husain]

Went and did a bit of exploring with Marcus and Curly today to have a quick look at the route to make sure its drivable and safe as theres a fair amount of narrow goat track roads on steep hillsides to be driven and it all checked out ok and we did a quick trip around to have a look at the condition of Barneys Whare and the campsite and that was all looking good, the waters on at the hut and the toilets all working ok

Havent got a trip cost from the Station yet but its expected to be around $25 per vehicle for the weekend


The first part of the trip up to the airstrip off the coast Road and along the ridgeline and the a steep drop down to the river



This is the turnoff and start of the steep drop down to the river from the airstrip ridge



After dropping down to the river you climb up the ridgeline on the other side of the river behind the old homestead and wind your way up to the bushline at the top of the picture



Barneys Whare around the coast



BBQ/Cooking and camping area

Me 'n the missus are interested, not sure about overnight part though, but will see what happens. Now for the part where you will all laugh at us.....how do we get to Wainui beach??????? Is it the one where ya drive along the Petone foreshore....or is there someone/somewhere we can meet up first at an easier location we can follow??? We would be coming down from Wangavegas. Am I better to run my 2/3 worn mudders, or fit my new tyres? Going by a previous tyre query I am leaning towards the worn ones.
Cheers guys.

[skid]

not sure if I will make this trip now

but I did hear that there are some other dodgy characters from out of town coming along to it

Let me help - I will make the decision - NO

I would have thought that the last thing you would want on a working farm is someone elses mongrel

I stand to be corrected though

[85BJ73]

Sounds like we are in!! The missus is happy for us to go as long as there are no last minute snags that is.......Will confirm about the overnight part. Moriarty has offered to guide us out there too.
Cheers.
