There was another obstacle that Thabbies did, which no other car could master yet.
That showed the importance of front lockers.

Re: Moegatle Weekend: 19th - 21st July
WOW .... what a weekend !!!!
Yes this was technical, yes some were difficult, yes some were challenging...... but no damage to vehicles.....oops I lie.... I popped my tail light out again. I suppose it wouldn't be Moegatle without popping a taillight.... haha. But other than that all went VERY well!!!
By the time I cleaned out the dust and sprayed down the Iron Maiden yesterday evening, I was moeg (-atle), so I'll check out the pics and try upload the videos too.
I honestly believe that you missed a cracker of a trail if you missed this one out. It was great to have Thabbies and family and his friend ( Terrano), Greg, George, Alex and family as well as 2 other boys, that I think really enjoyed the days outing in the bush, Peet and Petri and as always Papa Smurf Grant and Smurfette Sonja !!!
Thank you for making it a successful weekend away !!

Re: Moegatle Weekend: 19th - 21st July
Jip what a saturday at moegatle , did some interesting climbs and decents that one would have looked twice at them and looked for another way round ,
the best was kept to last and the patrols climded "koos se klip" with ease , cedric even thought he could do it in two high with diff lock but we leave that story for the camp fire
and a big high five goes to george in his hardbody which he had his front wheels high in the sky a few times going where the patrols were going .There was a terrano with us as well that did very well , lsd was not working ,but had a go at everything
Thanks to Grant for arranging the weekend and the rest of the Patroler that made it a great day
Till next time

Re: Moegatle Weekend: 19th - 21st July
Yes, me too very moeg (atle)
Can't wait for more pictures and some videos from Mrs Thabbies?
To all the latest victums of that tail light popping syndrome, I still have my plastic rear bumpers and tail lights at home, after I replaced it with steel corners.
Let me know if you are interested.

Re: Moegatle Weekend: 19th - 21st July
Gents,
What a great day. Love it when we all struggle a little. That is when we learn. SWAMBO went mad with the pics so I will have 5 drives with all the pics avaiavle for all of those who where there. The pics I have are just short of a gig. Attached are some pics of the day, and well doen to Cedric, Greg, Dion and Alex who drove up Koos se Klip.
