We were so lucky to have perfect weather over QBW - frosty nights but brilliantly clear sunny days.
Yet another great event put on by the Rodney Off Road Club, fundraising for the Ahuroa Volunteer Fire Brigade... These guys managed to wrangle 80 trucks and a couple of hundred people, feeding, entertaining and guiding them over several hundred hectares of spectacular farmland with nary a glitch in sight.
A record run in about 2.5 hours! Just five of us ripped through the tracks; that's not say we had any 'stoppages' ! Even in the first 500m of the track we all had grief. Shaun give us some fun moments diving into water that even Jacques Cousteau would have baulked at!
Te Rau Puriri - Planting Sunday 17 May 2015 - a good turnout from the Auckland region's 4WD clubs including our own, and local volunteers to help Auckland Council keep up the good work being done in this park. Down in the valleys we had the pleasure of seeing the great results from our previous efforts.
Ivan, Kyle and Shaun gave us an action-packed trip down and back up the Poutu Peninsula over Anzac weekend taking in miles of open surf beach, troublesome twists, twerky turns, crazy climbs and devilish decents ..

We had 4 trucks initially. But by the time I had mucked about figuring whether to go ahead we were down to two . Craig in his new Disco 1 Tdi with recently fitted side under and front protection and the my white open ( to the weather and rain) Defender.
