In March next year the fourth Hereworth School Old Boys 4WD trip will be held, this time covering the foothills of central Hawkes Bay.  
This event has been a huge success in the past, having alternated between a coastal trip and heading inland.  It is a weekend of fun, starting at around mid-day Friday and finishing on Sunday afternoon, a family affair with all ages catered for, and in the past it has attracted people from all over the North Island.  
The catering for the weekend again promises to be a highlight, with breakfasts and dinners that any hotel would be proud to serve, and a packed lunch each day.  
Vehicles need to have a current WoF, a low range gearbox, and reasonable tyres.  The terrain covered may be challenging for some, but a B route is available where anything is considered too challenging.  In the interests of safety all vehicles are required to carry a small amount of safety equipment and are scrutineered  prior to starting out on Friday afternoon.  
There are a number of very experienced 4WD people involved with organising the event and amongthe participants.  These people are only too willing to assist a less experienced driver, so if you are new to these events there is plenty of advice available.
So put the March 8-10 2013 in your diary and visit http://www.hereworth4wd.co.nz/ to register for what should be another outstanding weekend.
