First time out the bombing range
Went out to the bombing range on my quad today.. by myself. Was pretty mean. Up Muriwai beach at full tilt for about 30 minutes till I got to some dunes. There were two other guys up there on two strokes, and a few people fishing. And the army setting off bombs. I was sitting in the forest having lunch when I heard one go off – sounded pretty fucking big.
Little bit crap cos the tracks in the bombing range are mean, but you don’t wanna get caught by the army dudes in there, or ride into a blast area. Hopefully next time I go out they won’t be bombing – and I’ll have my new set of tires on.
And cos the tide was out got to do massive 5th gear drift circles… so much fun.
Left the carpark about 10am, got back about 2pm. Good times.
A tank of gas lasted me 2.5 hours, then I filled up again with the can I bought with me, strapped to the side.
Soo much fun, can’t wait to go out with a bunch of people.
