Cheers , there's also a dried up track off the amberly river few big ruts which leads to a very nice schecluded beach deap shingle though my truck with the standard wheels made it thru in 1st gear 4wd on boost

plenty places to play in Canterbury most rivers have tracks

[ajarrett]

Its just finding them I live on the south side of waimak not very far but not many 4wd tracks just shingle roads , them bloody trucks and diggers keep ruining the good crossing points

[oljamesyboy]

your not far from me then im just over the north side of river. depends what sort of tracks your after waimak normally has plenty of mud if you star at 4wd area and head up stream then can always go south erye witch runs into waimak its a dry river but can quite often find water if you go far enough up

did Ashley river last weekend was good trip went Rangiora right up to gorge.

waipara river is another trip have yet to do it tho.

there is plenty tracks around to suit most people and vehicles i drive a terrano with only a snorkel and 31 muds and still have platy of fun

Sounds good will be sure to have a look can't wait for winter to dampen things up a bit

[oljamesyboy]
