Looking at a camping weekend at Kareekrans near Rustenburg
Looking at a camping weekend at Barakah near Potch

So are there no other trips planned for this year, or did I miss a thread somewhere?

What about a lowveld camping weekend trip? (If not enough time to do it this year then mayby next year?).
Friday evening sleep over or sat morning drive thru, drive trail, sleep over, go home next day?
(Does not look like there are any long weekends left this year?

)

I think for a lowfeld excusion you would need a longweekend, which we don't seem to have between now and December.
What is being considered is perhaps Rust de Winter later in the year.

Do you know which weekend it will fall on?

This was just talk until now, so no date or any arrangements done yet.
The trail is guided by members of the ATV 4x4 club.
Therefore one needs to book with them.

I am happy to do that tomorrow.
At least as a start I can get the currently open weekends from them that we can consider.
Will post tomorrow as soon as I got hold of them.

Morning

We would preferably like to do this one after there has been some rain, last time it was dry as a bone.....

So looking at end October just before the kids exams kick of if at all possible.

Die reen kom so laat hierdie jaar ons kon amper nog 'n rivier trippie ingepas het....

Ek het 'n kontak in Sabie om ons toestemming te gee om deur die bosse te ry en 'n waterval of twee te besoek waar die publiek nie toegelaat word nie. Hierdie sal meer van 'n "scenic trip" wees en kan vir 'n naweek gereel word. As dit reën is dit meer sports en kan 'n ware 4x4 trip word. Soos Fanus sê, ry Vrydag vanaf Gauteng, 4ure tot in Sabie, kamp die aand en vertrek Saterdagoggend op die roete. Braai saam die aand en Sondag besoek ons 'n rotsformasie (ook nie oop vir die publiek nie) en dan vat elkeen die pad op sy eie tyd terug. Die Land Rover klub het dit onlangs gedoen. Die naweke word al minder en ons kan dalk vroeg in 2017 iets reël.

Klink vir my interesant Carel, waarskynlik meer uit 'n fotografiese oogpunt...

Karel sal iy reel

As die naweek inpas vroeg volgende jaar, dan doen ons dit so
verkeislik om en by 'n publieke vakansie dag, dan is die kinders uit die Skool.

Ek sien 21 Maart is menseregte dag, val op 'n Dinsdag.
Dan is die kinders nie 20 Maart op skool nie.
Dit kan werk

Sover ek weet is daar nog niks vas vir volgende jaar nie en ek wil nie die klub se datums "steel" nie, maar sal uitvind vir die naweek van 17 tot 21 Maart 2017. Peter, ja dit sal vir die fotograwe 'n goeie trip wees.
