GI Jane · Post by **GI Jane** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 1:53 pm

Clinton seeing that you have already had contact with them, would you like to book for 6 vehicles so far, we can get back to them if we have more vehicles? If you don't have time I can do it...

Legolas · Post by **Legolas** » Tue Apr 17, 2012 11:29 am

Hi Val.

Sorted. They will give us one key for the whole group but every vehicle will receive a map of the route!!!

Gaan dit nie maak vir die naweek nie sorry ouens (en Val).
Tokkie is vol bollie.
Sal maar met die bike agter julle moet aanry maar dink nie dit word toegelaat nie.

2. Val
3. Kalahari Seun (representing the NC - jy kan bietjie see sand vir cobus kom haal)
4. Roofer
5. Ismail
6. WernerK

Zak as jy lus is om saam te ry, kan jy jou kamera bring en saam met my ry. Ek ry om 10.15 van Waterstone Virgin Active, jy kan my daar kry of jy kan ons by die plaas stal kry om 10.30. As jy nie seker is oor vroue bestuurders sal jy seker met een van die ouens kan ry...

I'lll probably pack in some boiled eggs, fried beef/pork sausage and a green salad.... Don't eat carbs so if you want bread or potatoes you can bring some....

Let me know if you are going to see me at the gym or the farmstall... My Hilux will be parked in the parking lot in front of the Virgin Active...... and don't forget your camera... I always struggle to get photo's because there's normally no time to grab a camera and drive at the same time....

Tokkie · Post by **Tokkie** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 6:52 am

Morning Val I will see you @ the farmstall. Dont want to leave the bike in the parking lot.
Camera is packed and charged ready to go.

ROOFER · Post by **ROOFER** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 7:27 am

GI Jane · Post by **GI Jane** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 8:19 am

For those of us driving the trail, don't forget the trail fee that we pay when we get there.... not sure but I think it is R120 or somewhere around about there...

Legolas · Post by **Legolas** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 9:58 am

More more almal,

Ek moet se eks kinderlik opgewonde oor die G2g saterdag oggend. Ek het gou met die dame van die plaas gesels en dit kos R150 per voertuig vir die roete. (Kaart fasiliteite is beskikbaar). Ek wag net vir nog terugvoer itv hulle braai geriewe en sal dit post sodra ek dit het.

Die nuwe weer voorspelling vir die naweek is:

19/20 grade, geen reen en so 21km/h suid/suid/oos

Legolas · Post by **Legolas** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 11:41 am

Right ouens/dame

Braai area is R45 per voertuig extra

Hulle het braai no 6 en 7 vir ons bespreek. Daar is 2 braai dromme beskikbaar maar ons moet alles self verder bring. So ek wil net gou by julle hoor moet ek verder hiermee gaan of nie?

Indien wel sal ons maar so tussen mekaar moet reel wie bring wat ens ten opsigte van die tools.

Sien uit daarna om van julle te hoor!!!

GI Jane · Post by **GI Jane** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 4:35 pm

Ek sal nie na die tyd kan braai nie want ek het a verjaarsdag partytjie van sesuur af.... Maar sal moontlik net gou n bier saam drink as ons klaar gery het...

ROOFER · Post by **ROOFER** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 9:45 pm

Sorry wont be able to stay & braai

ismail · Post by **ismail** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 8:52 am

Legolas · Post by **Legolas** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 1:43 pm

Hy kan niks hoor nie... hy is iewers in Namibia..... We are definitely going to have a few beers after your first trail.... if it's anything like the feeling I had after my first trail you need to pack in at least 6 beers.... I had to hunt down some friends to kill a bottle of wine and I still could'nt sleep that night..

ismail · Post by **ismail** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 2:20 pm

sorry just to confirm, the farmstall meeting point is where you pay to use the trail?

Hilux 1 · Post by **Hilux 1** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 2:24 pm

i have to cancell as my brownie points got wasted Wednesday. Just kidding, but can not make it as the begging the "omkoop geldjie" etc did not help. I need to assist witht he preparations for the Party. soon my fellow drivers soon we all will be joining these fun routes

ismail wrote:sorry just to confirm, the farmstall meeting point is where you pay to use the trail?

Yes Ismail we pay at the farmstall....

Sorry you won't make it Tertius, but sure you will still enjoy your day.... maybe next time...

Oops looks like a slight change in the weather prediction for tomorrow, but it will just keep the dust to a minimum... which is very good... doubt we'll find any mud....

GI Jane · Post by **GI Jane** » Sat Apr 21, 2012 3:17 pm

Thanks Guys and Girls for an amazing trail.... Sorry there was a bit of clouds and we could'nt see Cairo from the top of the mountain.....It was great to meet all of you.... Clinton you are definitely a natural in your Hilux..... see many, many happy trails ahead of you..... Thanks Zak for the company.. and Andrew for driving in front and the rest of you guys for the good company... I don't have any photo's and so you are going to need to post some pictures, otherwise non-one will believe we were there..... See you all on the next trail, hopefully soon...

Nice pics, seems like you girls & guys had a ball

GI Jane · Post by **GI Jane** » Sun Apr 22, 2012 10:05 am

Werner thanks for the pics..... Also a 1st for you. Not your first 4x4 outing by any means, but your first outing with a group from the Hilux forum. Ismail think your wife may also have got some amazing pics.... ... Kalahari seun, van die Noord Kaap baie lekker dat jy saam gery het,.... Dink ons moet n groepie bymekaar maak en in julle wereld a roete gaan ry een of ander tyd...

Padmaker · Post by **Padmaker** » Sun Apr 22, 2012 11:37 am

We were there in '07 and I must say a beginner should not underestimate the red route. I friend of mine almost lost his SWB prado on a axle twister. He had to reverse out. But all-in-all a fun route with a lovely view.

ismail · Post by **ismail** » Mon Apr 23, 2012 8:59 am

Thanks to all, was a really cool day, and nice meeting new faces with common interests, I'll put some of our pics up tomorrow,
By the way rumour has it there will be a hilux-surfing club starting soon, with myself and Andrew being on the "board"

Sebata · Post by **Sebata** » Mon Apr 23, 2012 9:12 am

ROOFER · Post by **ROOFER** » Mon Apr 23, 2012 9:17 am

Looking forward to those pics Ismail ,as for the h-s club count me out 4wheels is what I am interested in

NUGGET · Post by **NUGGET** » Mon Apr 23, 2012 11:01 am

What an awesome day and loads of fun. Thanks to all for attending. It was great to meet some more hilux members.
Clinton awesome job with your first trail, now we have to get you to Atlantis for your next day out. You were shaking quite a bit on the trail on Saturday, adrenalin is awesome, but I cannot wait to see you after driving one of the big dunes at Atlantis

Ismail your bakkie is looking awesome, and on the surfing thing will let you know when I can get my hair wet.

Thanks again to all for the great day out, and I cannot wait for us to get together for the next one.

Legolas · Post by **Legolas** » Mon Apr 23, 2012 11:49 am

Morning Everyone!!

WHAT AN EXPERIENCE THAT WAS!!!

I am still driving that route even though we left there saturday afternoon. I am busy with the pictures and will most probably make a proper trip report with the pics but for now just alot of thank you's.

Val - Our team leader. Thank you for taking me under you wing and showing me the ropes. This is one very nice lady and if you have the oppertunity to drive with her go for it!! You made my first 4x4 trip one not to forget and I will make sure that you come along on the next trips so that i am not the only CEY bakkie

Zak - Our offical photographer

Thanks your taking all the pics and climbing under spoor to check out his abs. (PM me so that i can get all the photos for the trip report)

Andrew - Also a big thanx on the tips and leading the way for us. I will most def come join you on the dunes of Atlantis. Need to learn that before my Kalahari trip.

Lehan - Dankie dat jy al die pad deur gekom het om die NC te verteenwoordig. My vrou het haar omtrent dood geskrik toe daai hoe bakkie van jou oor die axle twister gaan en omtrent soos 'n spinnekop lyk. Veilig ry terug Noordkaap toe!! Ons sal def een van die dae vir julle daar kom kuier.

Ismail and his wife - Give that man a bells. Your bakkie looks stunning with all the red trimmings and the nice red hilux shirt to go with it.

Charl - Thanx for your help at the end of the trail with the tire....

I am in agreement with you. When are we doing our next trip?

Werner - Jou fortuner met al die kiddies in het vir my al die lyne gewys en ek het dit baie waardeer. Jy het my 1ste 4x4 trip baie aangenaam gemaak.

Dankie aan almal!!!!
