Nissan Off Road Club - Kungweni 28th June 2014

[ricster]

Hi All,

On the events calendar there is a trail, which was done last year for the first time by the Club at Kungweni. There are a few people that have done this trail before and from the feedback, it seems as if this was enjoyed by everyone that went.

Please have a look at the website ( www.4x4kungwini.co.za/ ) for more info.

Lets start a list so I can see if we can get a better price like we did at Berakah last month.

Unfortunately I am in Mozambique that weekend, so cannot make this one.
