๐Ÿ”๏ธ ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
SF70, often referred to as State Forest 70, is one of the North Islandโ€™s most iconic and challenging 4WD destinations. Located south of SH5 near Taupล, this area is known for its tight tracks, deep ruts, soft pumice soil, steep climbs, and technical driving.
This is not a casual Sunday drive โ€” this is a proper off-road adventure designed for capable vehicles, experienced drivers, and those who understand the risks that come with extreme terrain.
Because of the difficulty, narrow sections, and limited turning points, convoy numbers are strictly capped to keep things safe, smooth, and enjoyable for everyone involved.
โš ๏ธ IMPORTANT โ€“ READ CAREFULLY
Waiver signing is mandatory for all drivers and passengers
This track CAN and DOES cause vehicle and panel damage
By attending, you acknowledge and accept the risks involved
Access is sensitive โ€” respect the land, no rubbish, no damage to frost flats
Instructions from trip leaders must be followed at all times
โœ… VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS (NON-NEGOTIABLE)
All vehicles must be properly set up for technical off-roading:
โœ”๏ธ Rated front & rear recovery points
โœ”๏ธ Winch (working and tested)
โœ”๏ธ Recovery gear (snatch strap, shackles, tree protector, etc.)
โœ”๏ธ Minimum 32โ€ tyres (mud terrains strongly recommended)
โœ”๏ธ Good mechanical condition
โœ”๏ธ UHF radio preferred
โœ”๏ธ Drivers must be confident in technical terrain
If your vehicle does not meet these requirements, you will not be allowed to join the convoy.
๐Ÿ•๏ธ WHAT TO EXPECT
Tight, technical 4WD tracks
Mud, ruts, climbs, recoveries
Epic scenery & classic SF70 challenges
Camp-based adventure vibes
Experienced trip leaders and support
A weekend youโ€™ll be talking about for a long time
๐Ÿ“Œ ACCESS & RESPONSIBILITY
Access track is on private land (not DOC)
Entry relies on continued good behaviour and respect
SF70 access is managed carefully โ€” we do not want to jeopardise it
๐Ÿ“ฉ HOW TO JOIN

More details on meeting points, waiver forms, and final logistics will be shared with confirmed attendees.
