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 -

A day at Waiotu

In a 1000 acre paddock we managed to negatiate the boundary tracks with relative ease - not counting the odd side-track reconnaisance cut short by some uncharacteristic displays of good sense (they were STEEP!). As usual, because we are persistent,

Christmas at Ruapekapeka

Santa followed us to Ruapekapeka…but despite the raindaince on Saturday night he forgot to deliver the mud for our fun day. The hazards were challenging and there were soon problems with
