Forestry are working at the entrance of Waikopua Road this week so entering the forest via this entrance is off limits. Please obey this, there is a perfectly good entrance at the other end of the forest that can be used. On another note, I don’t really like being grumpy…

Heads Up! Spraying happening in Whitford forest this Sunday 16th December. KEEP OUT FOREST CLOSED.
Hi Everyone Just a heads up that forestry management are aiming to release spray in the Te Maraunga block(Whitford) prior to Xmas – they will endeavour to give us as much notice as possible. From Forestry Management below: “Also a reminder to all members not to go past Ross Rd…
CONDITIONS ARE PERFECT for Track building!!! All this rain means the ground is nice and soft, perfect for a track building working bee. Last one of the year, let’s make it a goodie! This Sunday. 9am. Meet at Archery club or new Milk Run trail which comes off Postie Run.…
We have very exciting plans for the club going forward, come along to the AGM and hear about these plans and put your 2 cents in about what you want to get out of the club, be it club rides, more events, more tracks, types of tracks etc. We are…
WORKING BEE. WHITFORD this Sunday, 9am, meet at Archery club area or if late walk up track near old GRIM RAKER exit. Building a bridge and finishing off a sick little line.
The following tracks are open on weekends only. Breadheads (Saturday and Sunday afternoon – avoid when archery are operating) WCCTT Mad Cow Wild Turkey Charging Pig Get a Perm Reminder, take care as forestry workers may still be in there (especially on a Sat). Please also use the main entrance…
NEW ALT ROUTE ON MAD COW There is now an alternative route by-passing the large tree on Mad Cow. Its a bit ‘pinchy’ so if you’re up there with a chainsaw in your Camelbak, feel free to resurrect the old line. Callum has also widened that tight switchback. It’s still…
Just had word from forest management that one of the harvesting crews is shifting to Fraser Rd, which is in the north-east corner of Whitford Forest. Trucks will be coming in through Waikopua Rd & going out through the Quarry. Please DO NOT to go past the bridge near the…
Friday morning 9am at the gate-WORKING BEE to build a bridge. A helping hand or two would be great!
Mega effort by the team at the working bee today. THANK YOU. We managed to open up Horse track (a bit of debris clearing to do upper half) and an exit to Yippy, Native etc. So those tracks are now all go. Not sure what Bionic and Inside Out are like -haven't checked those out. Just need a bridge over the stream; we have thrown in the old bridge so its walkable but will need a rebuild for a rideable one. If anyone had some long 6 or 8 by 2’s to use as bearers then let us know. Also need some decking. Shrapnel and Grenade are also now good to ride. We have employed Jesse S over the school holidays to do some weed killing so that should clear the lines even more.
Now just have Upper Tunnel Vision and Ground Effect to go. Let us know if you are around Easter and want to give us a hand.
Massive thanks to those who have worked on the tracks these last couple of weeks. We are slowing getting our Maraetai back again! Hopefully by the end of the month we should have most tracks in some sort of rideable condition. We have a big winter track building season planned-depends on funders/forestry what that will look like.
But for now its a WORKING BEE this SUNDAY 9am at Rewa rd gate. We will be working on Horse track with the aim to get an exit for Yippy/Native etc sorted. If we get a good turn out we will have a crew starting top and bottom of Horse track and another from the end of the current Yippy exit (thanks to whoever has done some work there already)
