About the Event
Waiuku Forest is a sand dune pine plantation forest on the northern mouth of the Waikato River administered by Crown Forestry who generously grant us access.
The conditions in the forest include easy tracks with firm gravel, dirt and soft sandy tracks with small sections of slippery clay in the winter. There are some more challenging options for the more adventurous, but they can all be easily bypassed.
Some bush does overhang the tracks so some light scuffing is possible! The trees within the forest are spaced wide enough apart to allow vehicles to explore off the main tracks which we will be doing, so good driving skills will be required to manoeuvre amongst the trees to avoid damage. There will also be a few steeper downhill sections, which are easy but still a good challenge for the newer members to 4WDing.
This is a Grade 2 and 3 trip.…
