Registrations are now being taken for this event and close on 27 Feb. All the previous events have filled up, so don't leave it too long!

[PeterVahry]

Over Waitangi Weekend we've checked the properties where the event will run and things are looking good. The weather wasn't but there is still a month to go. With vehicles limited by our concession from DoC to use some of their routes, the trip is getting closer to filling... so get your request for an entry form off to info@4x4nationalpark.co.nz

what are the tire requirements? good ATs ok? (not me but some friends that are interested....)

[PeterVahry]

Tyres will need to be 'good' to cope with the longer grass that this summer has generated. Fairly sharp edged AT's should be fine.

As of today the entries are closed, as the event is now oversubscribed. Thank you to all who have entered and it should be another great weekend.

nice! I'm glad you guys actually got to see the mountain this year.

There's a few photos up on the club's facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Akl4wdClub ...I think we're going to get some of Peter V's photos to add to that shortly too.

With regard to the photo on the Auckland 4WD Facebook page of the Landcruiser lying in deep water.... it was not taken on the 4x4 National Park event, but was during an 'after-match' trip through the 42 Traverse..... and not on the main track!

Going off the track in the 42 Traverse is not authorised by DoC and puts our ongoing access at some risk and obviously vehicles too.
