Hi all,

Happy new year, a year which so far has had us suffering a

drought, a 4wd trip drought (the worst kind). Our trip calendar is

empty, and although there are a couple of possibilities in the pipeline, we could use your help.

In-case you’re thinking about helping out and running a trip for the club, and you haven’t done one before,

here’s two ways that you could do that; You could go study our trip leader guidelines, find a good destina-

tion, get the appropriate permissions, run a recce trip to plan a route, pick and advertise a date, record all the

trip registrations ...basically be a trip leader superstar doing all the work by yourself. Or (yes there is an alter-

native), you could do what the rest of us do and ask for help. We have lots of members with experience in

running trips, or helping out. It only takes someone with an idea to show some initiative and start the process.

Trip leading has to be the most enjoyable way to contribute to your club. Trust me, it’s more fun in the front.

The trip leader guidelines is actually a good document, and worth reading. No it’s not the sure fire cure for

insomnia that you might imagine. It has everything you would ever need to know about running a trip. So if

you’re short of reading material, it can be downloaded from our web site.

While we are talking about ways to contribute - our long standing editor, Calvin, has indicated that due to

other commitments, he will be stepping down at this year’s AGM. We wouldn’t expect the new editor to be a

Calvin clone, in-fact I think it would be good to see a new editor put his or her own tweaks on the mag. Talk

to Calvin or I, if you think you could entertain the idea of being the editor.

I hope you all had a chance to get away somewhere over the holiday period. I had a relaxing couple of weeks

in Ahipara in the far north with the Walker whanau, and some club members as they passed through. It’s one

of the many great 4wd destinations available to us, if only you’re willing to travel that extra distance to get

there.

See you out on the tracks (hopefully on a club trip),

See you out on the tracks,

Jeremy

Trip Gradings A minimum of a first aid kit, 2kg fire extinguisher (or 2 x 1kg), recovery strap and a spade are to be carried on all trips. It is useful to have a suitably sized block of wood to place under your jack to prevent it sinking in soft ground when changing tyres. If your spare tyre is under your vehicle it may be handy to secure it safely in the back as you often can’t get it from underneath in 4x4 track conditions. Important note: when making ‘snatch recoveries’ ensure you use a ‘snatch strap’ with some stretch and not a ‘tow strap’ with no stretch and use suitable rated recovery points! Never recover using a tow ball, remove it and attach strap with a rated shackle, (Shackle to be 3.2 tonne or better, recovery hook to be fastened with 2x 12mm bolts, grade 8.8 or imperial equivalent). Please note that the grade shown for a track may vary and be slightly easier or harder than description, due to changes in weather and track conditions since last visited. To avoid disappointment on the day, it is advised that you talk with the trip leader beforehand to get the latest track update and discuss your vehicle and capabilities.

Grade 1 - Easy (Scenic/social/touring)

• Novice drivers with little or no four wheel driving experience required.

• Easy driving on sealed and unsealed roads, no rough tracks and road or all terrain tyres.

• Minimal chance of paint scratching.

• Good family outing for people wanting to ease their way into four-wheel driving (more of a touring style of driving with a

destination in mind).

Grade 2 - Intermediate

• Drivers with some 4wding experience, that have driven off-road on farms, beaches, etc.

• Easy off-road tracks, some mud, all-terrain tyres or better, Hi and Low range 4wd,rated front and rear recovery points, basic

recovery gear (snatch strap, 2 rated shackles, gloves and spade) and appropriate driver knowledge, as snatch strap recovery may be necessary. Most obstacles are able to be by-passed if drivers wish too.

• A small chance of light paint scratching.

These are the tracks all standard 4wd’s should be capable of and why you own a 4wd.

Grade 3 - Medium

• Drivers with moderate and sound 4wding knowledge and experience, who are comfortable with slippery driving conditions.

• Steeper terrain, rutted tracks, with close obstacles to manoeuver around. Snatch recovery is likely to be required.

• Mud terrain tyres preferred, road tires are not acceptable (mud terrain tyres for wet weather conditions).

• Rated front and rear recovery points, basic recovery gear (snatch strap, 2 rated shackles, gloves and spade), and appropriate

driver knowledge.

• Some scratching or minor scrapes possible.

• These tracks are ideally suited to those who enjoy 4wding in most conditions, don’t mind the odd scratch and have fitted

mud terrain tyres.

• Winches are not necessary on all vehicles; this will be at the trip leader’s discretion depending on weather conditions.

Grade 4 - Hard

• Confident, experienced drivers in all aspects of 4wding.

• Rough tracks, muddy, steep and slippery terrain, rocks, deep water, snatch and winch recovery likely. Rated recovery points

front and rear, mud terrain tyres or better, and a winch along with relevant recovery gear (snatch strap, rated shackles, tree trunk protector, winch rope dampener, gloves and spade).

• Some vehicle damage may be likely.

• These trips are great for experienced drivers with well-equipped 4wd’sthat have increased ground clearance and vehicle pro-

tection, capable of self-recovery if necessary.

Grade 5 - Extreme

• Very experienced drivers able to handle self-recovery and the harshest conditions, where anything may arise.

• Very steep, deeply rutted tracks or rock hopping will be encountered. Front and rear recovery points (rated), full recovery

gear (snatch strap, rated shackles, tree trunk protector, winch extension, winch rope dampener, drag chain, gloves, spade and spares), and appropriate driver knowledge.

• Winching will be expected and an electric or motorised winch is compulsory on all vehicles.

• Aggressive mud terrain or Simex style tyres are essential.

• Warning: Vehicle damage is likely to occur.

• These trips are for heavily modified 4wd’s and experienced drivers only. This category describes trips that are at competition

level.

We the Manukau 4WD Club do hereby challenge the Auckland 4WD Club in an attempt to hold on to the shield, the challenge shall be held at the Papakura RSA on Saturday 11th April The challenge will now be known as Quiz Night As you know, the rules if any are set by the challenger and unlike past attempts to keep such rules secret until the tenth hour, we freely print ours here please see below Rules of engagement are as follows 1 The shield will be made available for viewing purposes. 2 teams of six club members each (as many teams as you like, we only ask you let us know the numbers in advance) 3 no inter team conferring. 4 the use of all electronic devices are banned (there use will incur a penalty of disqualification of the team) 5 anything else I can think of a long the way. 6 the adjudicators decision will be final. 7 banter between clubs is perfectly acceptable and in fact encouraged.

A few of us went spent a few days at Pouto point at Christmas as part of a bigger holiday and had a fantastic time there. We

stayed at the Pouto Marine Hall campground ,the place is kept in pristine condition and for $7:00 a night is good value for money .It has full cooking facilities, hot showers and a fantastic view. I liked it so much a bunch of mates and i went back and stayed labour weekend. The place is endless fun, swimming fishing and of course four wheel driving. I could talk on and on about the places and challenges we got to do hopefully a few photos will give you a glimpse of the fun we had. Cheers Dean.

I had the opportunity to join Steve Reed and Andy Barber on a winch challenge reccy up at Possum Palace over Waitangi weekend. The aim was to set a few more tracks and clear a few trees away. Both Steve and Andy brought along their chainsaws and Andy a nice sharp axe. We all went with Steve in his mighty Nissan four in all as my youngest boy Blake came along for the adven-ture. We headed up Thursday avo and missed most of the heavy traffic, setup camp in the run down cabin. Up early on Friday and headed down to the stages Steve wanted to set. The place was a bit slippery after having 130mm of rain the week before. Joining us at Palace was a few clubs including Shore, Rodney and Landrover…. Our first mission was to drop some trees and fill a hole with the cut down logs. We trundled up and the lads fired up the saws and started felling trees. After we dropped a few one got hung up in the canopy above so Andy got out the axe and started chopping……… After a few whacks it was down…. Next tree did the same…. We were going to use Steve’s chainsaw but the chain had backed off and was rather loose… Saftey first. So Andy started swinging the axe again… Next I heard a rather loud expletive and Andy dropped to the ground and slid down the bank. I jumped down to see a gapping cut in this knee…. The axe had glanced off the tree and hit him square on the knee…. It wasn’t a pretty site….

So I put my first aider hat on and immediately grabbed the wound and held it closed while look-ing for signs of squirting blood…. Phew none of that. While keeping Andy calm Steve removed my Tee shirt and we fashioned it into a compression bandage. Which worked rather well. While I was looking after Andy, Steve got on the radio and called for assistance. Within 5 mins the lads from Shore club were there and ready to help “Thanks Guys”. As we didn't have a first aid kit on us we stole a bandage and wrapped the knee some more. “thanks again Shore club” Some of the burlier guys assisted Andy out of the stage and into Ben’s surf for the trip back to the

house. I stayed with Andy and made sure he didn't go into shock while Steve followed with Blake. Ben rang around the hospitals and it was decided to head off to Whangarei . So Steve and I with Andy sprawled out in the back seat shot thru to the hospi-tal. Long story short, my son Blake had a great day with Ben and his missus at Possum. Steve and I spent many hours in Whangarei with Andy. Andy ended up with tendon damage and 15 stitches. Had his wallet stolen and recovered minus cash while he was under the knife. Also spent a nite in hos-pital. We sorted the emergency plan for the winch event. Lessons learnt…. Be prepared… We had no first aid kit on hand. Wear the appropriate safety gear. Andy had a set of chaps but left them at home. Calvin Tyler

Motu Safari - 2015

- our team David Broome, Scott King, Paul Redman, Peter Stopforth.

The cost of the Safari was $470 this included participation fee and meals for 2 people x3 nights.

The Safari spanned over four days and three nights camping. Toilets were Porta loos cleaned daily, showers were ei-

ther at Maraes or the river. Of course ski247 has its own.

Shelly and Paul Cornwall are the organisers.

We have found this Safari to always be well organised, well run and an enjoyable family experience.

Day 1

We arrived in Opotiki to a hive of activity 4 wheelers every-

where. At the gas station, new world, fish and chip shop and

generally clogging up the little town of Opotiki, bringing their

hard earned $ all for what promised to be a fun filled Waitangi

weekend. We booked into the Magnolia Motel thinking it was

where we usually stayed only to find it was not. However we

were not disappointed it was clean comfortable and reasonably

priced. We walked down the road after settling in to check out

the locals. Feeling a little tired we bought Subway and headed

back to the motel.

During the night we could hear the deluge of rain and antici-

pated a wet soggy day only to wake to a bright sunny morning

promising to be a brilliant day. Driving out to Motu school the

mist was still settled in the valleys and slo

wly rising just lovely.

Arriving at Motu School we were greeted by old friends. The usual ticityboo organisation and Registration was a buzz

old acquaintances reuniting, meeting new people. Packs with little gifts, meal vouchers and quizzes being given to par-

ticipants it was all go.

Our time to leave was 9.25 we were checked by the Scrutineers

and ready to go. Running slightly behind we set off at 9.45 am

one of our team members having just arrived there is always

one!

Our day included some challenges and some magnificent scen-

ery, and the weather remained warm and sunny. All went with-

out a hitch we crossed through Aorangi, Te Hopua and Brook-

land Stations where they farm cows, hoggets and ewes, pure-

bred Suffolk stud run on Brookland. History tells us Te Kooti

camped on the Military track that runs through Aorangi. This

was the first road north connecting Poverty Bay w

ith the Bay of Plenty. Then we carried on through Marumoko

station where they run ewes and cows, this is where they had considered

building a Hydro dam on the Motu River in the 60's. Driving the High coun-

try's station Paparangi Ventures made up of 800 ha of native forest they

offer hunting from November to March and during the summer months

families and other groups enjoy the wilderness for their holidays. Most of

our day was spent driving the Mangata blocks through Waitangirua Station

which flanks the banks of the Motu River down to the boarder of the Rau-

kumara Forest Park and over to the Waitangiru Stream. We came across

The Okaihau Homestead still standing and abandon known as "Siberia" a

beautiful old home set On a prime piece of land being re-absorbed by the

Mangatu Blocks, Waitangirua, Waiere and Komihana.We left by crossing

the Motu River though it was the lowest we had ever encountered we

thought was the best part of the day. Racing through the little water that

was there, the BOYS had a ball!

Camping on the old Maize field on the Mangatu Marae, the terrain was as

rough as we remembered and finding a good patch to pitch a tent wasn't

an easy feat. Some went off down to the river to swim the water warm

and inviting and others proceeded to pitch their tents. Once settled we

were all tired

and ready for dinner on the Marae but the locals had different ideas.

They had not received their fire permit for the Hangi until late meaning they applied late and now dinner was going to

be two hours late. We all sat around on the grass chatting until the Powhiri, which I am sure was lengthened to fill in

time. Their Kamatua told us the story how Mangatu got its name back In 1835 and how the settlement was founded

and of course welcomed us with two of our members responding and our ladies singing the usual Waiata. Their hospi-

tality was as usual unsurpassed the food not so great but sustenance for tired 4 wheelers. Home across the rough pad-

dock without injury the usual ablutions and up the ladder to the penthouse.

A Windy night some people had to abandon their tents while we were cosy in our little shell on top of ski247.

Day 2

Good morning Vietnam sounded out through a camp of tired bedraggled campers. Having had a particularly early rise

because of the prevailing winds. All ready to start their day the line-up was long very early on. So we were quite near

the back to start.

Racing through along the Waipaoa river, the water level very low, to begin the boys let their hair down some were a

little more cautious than others well dare I mention who were very quickly near the head of the pack.

Over beautiful Mangatu blocks, Waikarariki Station, Tarndale Stations, passing the Tarndale and Mangatu slips,

Waiaoa Station, here cadets get all the grounding they need to work on stations such as this. Through Mangatu Forest

dense and dark after driving the paddocks. A lovely contrast. Then out of the forest and through Te Rata station

where Garth the owner grows pines. Mangaotane Station is a Maori Corporation and run by Ag First. A large block of

native bush and farming both sheep and cattle. The wind blew as we passed through Arowhana station it was bare

and exposed to the wind on the high ridges. The day was cool and overcast but no rain. Had it rained we would have

been in deep trouble the slick on some of thoses tracks would have been fatal.

Driving through the Wairangi Forest Farms, Huuiarua station and crossing the headwaters of the Mata River, again

another chance to play about in

the water but short lived. We

drove some kms through the little

settlement of Tokomaru Bay and

Waipiro Bay, a settlement set up

as a trading post servicing the ru-

ral community for the Coast. Sail-

ing boats called I. And goods were

ferried in and out in surf boats.

Entering Makatiki station comprising of some 3,000. Reaching the Mata River where some final play was to be for the

day ended up what we thought a tragedy as it was blocked by a slip. The organisers began clearing the slip only to be

confronted by two angry land owners who wanted the slip to remain because it prevented poachers entering or es-

caping with their home grown produce, sheep and cattle. So an agreement was reached one of the farmers opened

his gates and allowed our 150 vehicle convoy to pass through

his far

m on a newly cleared road over the highest ridges up to to

1000 metres with magnificent views and another road that

was clay and we all Imagined what it would be like if it rained.

In fact the organisers were a little nervous to say the least as

to how some of the participants would climb the mountain. All

went without a hitch everyone climbing out of the river over

the farm ridges and down to our camp. Where showers were

offered again by the Marae with the option of another river

swim. Again warm and inviting. A new camp and a new

Marae for dinner where the meal was beautiful however we

were told by fellow campers they ran out of food towards the

end and it was rationed. Oh dear all I can say is thank good-

ness we were near the front of the line not that it would matter if we missed a meal. We had adequate supplies and

could cater for ourselves but the object of the Motu Safari is

to raise funds for the little 13 pupil school and we were here

to support that.

Two competitions are running one general knowledge and

local knowledge, the other an ARB questionnaire both we will

enter and all correct answers go into a draw so hopefully luck

is on our side. Who knows going on previous Safaris we could

win a sticker or even a shirt.

The night turned cold and everyone was cuddled up.

Day 3

Beautiful smells people cooking at their camp sites bacon,

eggs, tomatoes and even pancakes to warm up after the foul

early morning awakening for some. A warm cuppa was wel-

come. A glorious day a few people getting a bit touchy about positions in the Line lack of sleep we put it down too.

We were away by 9.15 turning left out of the gate towards Te Araroa. A dusty road so kept our distance so we could

see. Hemlock lining the road both sides. An interesting morning spent on Waingakia Station my personal favourite

drive across grass covered hills, with many little challenges along the

way like the slip to navigate a few mud holes, rocky corners and nar-

row passes. Everyone made it unscathed. Dropping down to the

road leading to Te Araroa stopping in at Ruatoria for several to gas

up, we don’t have to think about that having a 180L tank. Stopping

at the general store for top up supplies. Then we did a little side tiki

tour led by Paul to a local reserve which led down to a lovely spot on

the beach where we ate lunch then scurried back to join the convoy.

Now travelling along the main highway to Kopuapounamu Rd where

we joined the river for a

splash and through the

Waikura Valley winding

through Mohaum Wai-

tangihia, Rewatu, Mataraoa stations and arriving at Waikura Station our

camp by 5.30pm. Dinner was at 6.30 the shearers quarters an excellent

meal with an abundance of food. The official prize giving and windup was

at 8.30pm outside the woodshed, all rugged up against the cold armed

with their chairs and headlights for the walk back in the dark. We now use

the caps from Bunnings with built in lights so much easier than headlights.

Motu School would not accept bribes for their competition much to my

disappointment. Having completed the competition and finding all the

answers there was just one we were stumped on consequently only man-

aged 2nd prize in the Quizz - but happy to be given a prize at all. A bag of

cleaning cloth of different textures for Ski247. They had some great spon-

sors this time ToughDog being the most generous. With a voucher up to $500 for some lucky spot winner and a few

$250, $200 etc we think the most generous prizes and the stickers we were usually given as prizes were saved and

given out as giveaways on departure.

A cold night but very comfortable. It's funny how when you camp it takes two nights to iron out any hiccups and the

third night is the best then ironically it's time to leave.

Day 4

Another glorious morning to wake up to. This valley of low lying cloud was kind of nice being in the roof tent we were

above all this looking down quite magic. The moon was still up. It wasn't long before the camp started to stir and once

again it was a hive of activity. This morning we gathered at 9 am for a shorter day as many had to travel to their home

destinations. We peeled off each team leaving a few minutes after the other. It is amazing how this works and some-

times you don't see the team in front until they stop for tea or such and you pass them. On the odd occasion we did

catch when the convoy slowed on a rocky patch. Through the Waikura Valley and again passing several stations.

Tawau I Station, Mohau Station, Waitangihia Station, Mataraoa Station, Rewetu Station Waikura Station and Pakita

Station and at the end of the valley we exited the TeKumi Station to enter the Raukokere River where there were

shells of old vehicles from years gone by. The river was low but we have been here when it runs deep and swift and

have even seen a vehicle swept away just by putting his nose in the water. We were unable to access the Oreti Forest

this trip as it was blocked by a huge slip so once we had driven the river had our fun racing, splashing and washed the

trucks we stopped for lunch. Watching the trucks pass and waving goodbye as many departed when they hit the road

again. We spend about 30 minutes parked up here and were amazed at the number of vehicles streaming past the

convoy was huge some 150 trucks and guessing 400 people. We left the river and turned right toward Opotiki and the

Raukokore Anglican Church which marked the end of this great trip. Penguins nest under this church and that is truly

something to see.

On the road again heading for Auckland an uneventful trip until we reached SH2 where the traffic began to crawl so

we cut off and went through Hunuia the back way to home in Flat Bush.

The Motu Safari is well organised with not too many rules and regulations. You get a little booklet giving you informa-

tion about the area and each day a sheet telling you the plan for dinner and outlining the start time etc for the next

day and where fuel is available. OSH has made 4x4 safer but difficult for clubs to comply so we do appreciate the time

and effort that goes into organising an event such as this.
