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 ...

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?
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.
