[binnegrappie] Could not resist that one - Welcome Russian [glad that "Roulette" i snot part of that 'handle'

Ross - the SAFRI owners want to fit in a Lesotho drive this year [not sure if that thread is her at PATROL or over at the Nissan4x4 site]
Question - Can you assist to lay out a nice [read 'challenging' ] route for us? )something like a long weekend plus 2 days .. And I think BABOON's should be on the it.

Thanks Kagiso......wena ubuwa sesotho?

Sure can assist with the trip to Lesotho, in fact we planning a small trip into that country in April to the only National Park there called Sehlabathebe National Park. Apparently you can only get there by 4x4 and it looks awesome. Think the main thing you need to tell me is your planned entry/exit points and time you guys want to spend.....and I can try and assist from there.

Hi Ross,
As the last new boy, it is quite lekker to greet the latest new boy! Welcome and enjoy the great people that are members!
Regards, Chris
