Club Runs

Club runs are normally (unless otherwise enthusiastically arranged), so let's say "traditionally" held the 3rd Sunday of each month (depending on the availability of properties... vehicles.... etc....).

So, the 'set' dates for the rest of the 2011-12 club year are:

22 January - Date has been moved a week to accommodate this busy time of year. Meet 8am at Lookout Hill, before heading out to Maungakaramea. There is a shiney track as well as plenty for the rougher trucks. Might make it to the waterfall (bring swimmers...? or a change of clothes)

19 February - Okaihau. Mark's making the arrangements - details to follow shorthly...

18 March - Ruapekapeka fun day.

15 April -

15 May -

Labour Weekend at Pureora

Our annual pilgrimage to make the most of the unknown, the unexpected, the as-you-find-them tracks of Pureora. This year we took 6 vehicles up the track on Saturday - 2 made it back to camp about 9:30 that night.
The rest, we patched up and hauled out on Sunday - against a stream of 13+ other vehicles who took advantage of our prestigious track-clearing and highway-making - some of who had no regard for what we were trying to achieve - their spades and axes were still shiney in their holders!
That aside, we had an awesome weekend where everyone pulled together as a matter of course. Thanks to our guests from Tokoroa who stuck with us on the Sunday to help pull our 4 casualties from the bush. Monday was a play day for those that were still mobile (or could keep being patched up enough to be...). It's not about how far you travel, and how quick you get there, it's about what you achieve on the way - and there's more to 4-wheeling than just driving your vehicle up a track.
