Cheers Mike,

Trying not to hijack the thread but I reckon it'd be an awesome trip for NZ club members to finally catch up!

Especially with some who have done it before, and those who haven't.

I'm a local at Woodhill, the mountain bike and 4wd parks. About 30-40 mins from home.

Been to the 4wd park about 5 times now, so much fun.
Only bit that sucks is the cleanup afterwards!
Need some mates with trucks to try some harder tracks with - Only done up to a 3X difficulty so far. Been properly bogged twice.
