Attending Alex - LC300 -TL Keith - Raptor Shane - Triton -TEC Nick - Colly7 On a windy Saturday morning, 4 keen All Tracks fishers went to a Secret Spot, found by Alex and Nick a few months earlier. We met up at Drovers, with Alex and Keith bringing their new camper trailers to test on the beach. We drove a bit past the busy starting area and aired down.

Attending Simon, Diane and Sandy GWM Cannon Don and Jane Nissan Patrol Roger Land Cruiser Keith and Nick Ford Ranger We all gathered at the beginning of the track on Flynn Road and had a chat about the trip ahead. This is the 3 rd time I have done this track and the second time at night.

Attending Dave - Prado - TL Nick - Collie7 - TEC Shane - Triton Sean and Brandon and fur babies - Triton Keith and Craig - Raptor As most of you all know, Whitehills is one of my favourite beaches. When the weather warms up, I like to run a few beach and fishing trips here. This trip was the first trip for the season. Like we normally do, meeting point was at the Miami Bakery in Falcon. After feeding our faces with over priced pies, we made our way down to Whitehills. During

I think this is my 4th or 5th time running the competition, and without fail, like every other year, it rained. Lucky for the shelter really, and for the a couple tarps, to create walls, protecting us from the wind and rain. Di had decided to take

We explored a track tha

I have been asked, "'"what's the best way to send my photos from a still camera to whatsapp?". This question has come about, since we recently started broadcasting our trip photos at our general meetings. I will try my best to show you how to do it. Now, I do use WhatsApp on an Iphone, but I assume the Android version of WhatsApp is similar. (Please note, some things will be blurred out for privacy reasons). Step 1. Download all your photos from your camera, and onto your c

With myself and Lee driving in convoy, we headed to out meeting point, by the side of the road, where we were shortly met by Lin. Perfect tim
