Offroad in New Zealand ?
Has anyone done any off road routes in New Zealand ? Question

Just doing some searching, seams to be quite active, with some nice routes, certainly on south island ?

Open to ideas at present, anyone done or know anything Very Happy California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

Fantastic place to go - it's on my 'must do list'.

I've not done any proper trips off-road over there but I spent some time working in Wellington and Auckland with a previous company and went out with a couple of our local guys in a Toyota and did some tracks and beach driving in the evenings.

It is a country totally geared up for the outdoor lifestyle. Thumbs Up John

Just searching clubs/forums etc,, to see if any events on, and hire something for a couple of days, to tag along Rolling Eyes

Got a motorhome for the duration, to tour both islands, California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

Nice to see such an enlightened view from government organisations - pity the same doesn't apply here Sad
