I would have thought that you would cut across country through Mangakino and Tokoroa.
    I think he was heading these ways to pick me up ... Not sure unless he's got other business over here ?
    I've booked the Friday off work, But will play by ear for now. Just wondering are you able to drive a normal car up to the campsite Rushy or is it 4wd material only ?
    Thanks.

    If you like your car I wouldn't drive it up there but there is a place to park up not far from the end.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    No mate you will get in on standard street tyres it is just the height above ground that is really needed. I have never ever had a grip problem going in but have had to chainsaw my way in a few times over the years as there is often a fair bit of dead fall after a heavy snow. Scouser was just in there a few weeks ago so I imagine the way in is clear.

    Hi guys, just discovered this thread as regards the planned trip, bummed i wont be able to make it though!!!!!

    the track was 'clear as' on my last visit, did a shit load of 'overhead gardening' so it should be clear of small deadfall hanging overhead, took out a load of bush lawyer too that was at head height....

    you should all be good to go, Rushy there was a full bag of your 'treated pine' still at camp when i left, it was too wet to have a campfire the weekend i was there.....that 'spiker' should still be about!!!!!!

    good luck guys, i know you'll have a ball......
    Gibo and RODSTA like this.
    While I might not be as good as I once was, Im as good once as I ever was!

    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
