Hi Jorrie
Thanks for persisting on this.
The date is long enough into the future to allow planning
I understand that some of these obstacles at Gerotek were designed for "destructive" tests.
So some sensibility (in stead of adrenalin) and some guidance from the people there would help us interpret the obstacles correctly.
Every machine has its limits, even Patrols!

Re: GEROTEK
Hi Alex
You are right, it is possible to destroy a vehicle a Gerotek.
They are however quite sensible and do provide instructors.
We want to enjoy the day without any damage and they know this. With a bit of luck we might even get a demo on one of their more extreme tracks with a SAMIL. I have seen such a demo before and it was awesome.
Gerotek also presents courses of all types and I will endeavour to find out more detail of these courses.
I will advise the terms and arrangements once we have sorted out the detail and know the costs.
Regards
Jorrie

Re: GEROTEK
I will start a list as soon as I have had the meeting with Gerotek and the detail is known.
There are already about 15 interested 4x4 fans from Armscor and the Dept of Defence.
