December Excursions
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.

Re: December Excursions
Going down to the KZN north coast for 3 weeks from the 14th Dec also hoping to do some of the game reserves down that way! Are there any good trails down that part of the world (not to hectic I will be in my road going 4.8) Also have my small boat (river and dam boat) any good fishing and skiing spots down there?
