Carnage Canyon 20-24 March 2025
Carnage 2025 is proposed to take place between 20 and 24 March.
So a couple of leave days will need to be considered here.
www.education.gov.za/Portals/0/Document ... ar2025.pdf
This was the 2023 event:
viewtopic.php?t=9920
And before that the 4x4 AG group arranged the 2022 event:
viewtopic.php?t=9514
In both instances no Patrol managed to make the 'the Beach'.
in 2022 two Rubi's, a monster highly modified Bad Habit Jeep, and two Suzuki SJs made it. In all cases highly modified, but nonetheless a 37" Patrol or else just maybe a medium wheel based Safari n 35" (:blonde: ) could yet become the first Patrol to reach 'the Beach'.
That is why I want to go back.
Else this event is a very lekker kuier.
As for Baboons, the max vehicles is 10, but we can potentially accommodate another 3/4 campers in the camping area for 'saam kuier' who is not driving.
In 2023 the camping cost was around R500 per vehicle. It is wild camping, but it costs money to clear the grounds.
The weekend will be rounded off by another day and night stay at the Secret Fountains. The location of both the canyon and the fountains is not advertised on public forums. You will know how to get there, if you join.
Again, there is the DC (definitely committed) and VI (very interested) lists you to to specify for which you want to be on.
I will prompt the VI list closer to the time if the DC list is not filling up. At the same time you can watch the DC list fill up to the max at your peril.

For those who wanted to, but could not make it, you missed out.
Big time.
It did happen, and photos / videos will be provided to prove it.
