Many 4x4 trails close when it is to wet as the people tend to damage the trails in really wet weather.

I think it is best to call Betsie / Alex Fullard tomorrow morning for final confirmation.
From the weahter forecast, if that is true, I think it should be fine.
You do not need more than 1 day or so for things to get dry enough?

I had some queries about the condition of the R511 following the picture I posted earlier.

I'll drive through to VeeKraal (near Moegatle) on the R511 tomorrow morning when I drop the kids off at school and report on the road conditions.
