As per the original thread.

We are looking at doing a run from Lower Hutt up into the Wairapapa, poss as far as Dannevirke...

Proposed route is below:
42746

Total k's is about 400km's. :) It can be made shorter by only going to the towns further down.

Who is in?

Well considering I'm the one who suggested this little trip, I'm obligated to at least attend and provided Jeremy can trust me to go the right way this time, everyone is likely to be following me as I know (???) where I'm going............... yea right...........LOL

Ok just a couple of additional pictures from the CVR4 Wairarapa cruise on Sunday.................. ;)

The 'crew' about to head away into the 'back of beyond'................... and with my navigational skills there was a very real chance we may never have been seen again................. queue the music from the film 'Deliverance'.............. /woot

43424


And having successfully reached Pongaroa, Pierre feels the need to bless my car to ward off local evil spirits before we return to the normal world again while Jeremy looks on amazed at proceedings...................... :rolleyes3

43422


Having successfully survived a torrential downpour so heavy it was impossible to safely drive above about 50kmh we arrived at Q's workshop and we parked up for a chat.

43421

43423

After a while chatting it was time to hit the road again and so we said bye to Q and headed off.

43420


From the feed back from all those who made the effort to get along, it seems everyone enjoyed themselves which was great. And we lost no one and I didn't get everyone lost this time either........... ;)

Thanks also to the MR2 guys who joined us, it was a pleasure to meet you and to have you along for the drive as well.

Cheers one and all.

And to those who didn't make it, you missed one hell of a good drive on some amazing and great back country roads as well as a huge amount of fun ............... :(
