December Excursions

Post by Alex Roux »

Hi guys

I think it is tim to exchange some thoughts on where everyone will be and the trips they are planning over December / Jan holidays

I have a penchant for the unbeaten tracks.
We have friends 50km away from Colesberg.
They see an average of three vehicles passing their farm over a single weekend.
So we will stay with them for a day on or way down to the Southern Cape.

Somewhere between 16 Dec ad Christmas, I want to go to Paradise 4x4 (at Wilderness).
It is a one day dune trail an picnic. Although, I think one can camp there.
http://www.paradise4x4.za.net/html/about.html
It is apparently slightly more challenging than the Vleesbaai 4x4 route.

Let me know if you would like to join me.

On previous trips I have been to 4x4 trails, Moordkuyl and Bonnievale.
Both have serious challenges.
On the Community forum there is a Southern Cape subgroup that often go to either of these places.
Skilpad, Shortie, Toro & Masewa
