Re: PATROL OUTING!!!
OK!
First meet should then be a watering hole close by! John, shall we leave it in your capable hands to arrange?
Where do most of us reside? Southern suburbs vs Northen suburbs vs the gramadoelas!
I did Babylonstoren in Feb this year and unfortunately it is another one of those trails where the owner did not do the necessary maintenance after the heavy rains last year.
Pity, because it has a huge amount of potential and is easily reachable for a day trip!
Is Takbok still going? Just a thought ...

Re: PATROL OUTING!!!
Stefan, we might have the most trails, but the vaalies have the quality trails, dongas, mud and lekker stuff like that. Vaalies also get less damage compared to us.Stefan wrote:I'd love an overnight, but it is easier for me to do a day-outing. Maybe Leeuwenboschfontein or Babylonstoren?
C'mon guys, the WC has the most trails of any province when last I took a look in SA 4x4 and Wegry - surely we can come up with something creative?

Hey Guy's,Want MUDDDDD?
Just done Hessequas this weekend--if you go,take a boat along-very wet.I managed to bend a front diff,had to remove starter after been haulled out of the slosh and do a strip down.My buddy's Colt V6 was swumped-on site removed the inlet manifold,removed those water drenched plugs and crancked the water out the motor.Up and away ,then turned off the front prop coming out the steep river bed. :drinkingcheers:
