    Thompsons

    Hi Guys

    Does anyone on here live at the bottom of thompsons on the waikato side and owns a quad? We would like to go up there this weekend and was wondering if anyone would be willing to give us a ride up to the summit in exchange for goods beer or whatever you fancy.

    We would like to go up friday evening or saturday morning ideally.

    Cheers guys

    Was up there within the last week and seriously think you would struggle to get a quad up there at the moment. Im certainly no expert when it comes to riding one but the track is currently a bloody mess.

    I thought the track was too mounted for vehicles. I think Gappedaxe was up there this week. He would know it's condition if he was.
    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

    nah mate was there last week. No chance of getting a vehicle up there. Consider it a character building experience.
