Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

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.

FYI, there are 10 vehicles booked so far between this forum and the Nissan Off Road Club forum. There is still place for more if you still want to come along.
The price if under 10 vehicles is R 240.00 per vehicle, BUT if 10 and above they will give a 10% discount. ( R 216.00 ).
