Woodhill Forest Safety Patrol - Sunday (Members Only)

NB: Due to current Covid related restrictions this final Woodhill recovery weekend for 2021 will be for Members or close friends of current members. Please see note at the bottom if you have a close friend who would like to attend.

Trip Leader - Andy Frost

Woodhill Forest is home to Auckland's only dedicated offroad adventure park, and this weekend (Saturday and Sunday) we get four free entries for those being part of the 'Safety Patrol' team.

Auckland Offroad Adventure Park

Safety Patrol Team

To be part of the safety patrol team you will need to have a UHF radio (fixed or handheld), recovery gear (eg: straps, shackles etc), and a working winch is also very useful for recoveries. You will need to be willing to move to various parts of the forest to help visitors who may get stuck, lost or have some sort of vehicle issue. 

You may also need to stay later than the closing time of 4pm (as is often the case) to ensure all day visitors have left the forest before the Adventure Park closes for the day. This can involve assisting people with vehicle issues get out of the forest gates. 

It is okay if more than four trucks want to be part of the recovery group for a particular day, as we just divide the remaining cost of entry among the team.

So that will mean for those in the safety team;

4 , we get in free

5 we split the 5th cost ($60) so $12 a piece

6 we split $120 so $20

and so on (please bring some cash)

Others (non-safety team)

People might like to attend and not be part of the safety patrol team, and come along for a fun day out and get to explore the forest as a group, and also learn from the recoveries you get to experience at first hard (this is how most of us learn the best practices and do's and don'ts). 

Entry fee is $60 per vehicle.
