2011 - Let's get out there and 4x4

ThysdJ · Post by **ThysdJ** » Wed Jan 12, 2011 7:56 am

Okay here we are, 2011 is underway and we havent been out on an official Club/Forum outing yet. I know a lot of you guys went away on holiday and did some off-roading over the big days, but lets get this year going with a bang.

How about we do a trail just to get the adrenalin flowing. In the past we visited some nice trails in the vicinity of Cape Town and it is always nice to revisit them to see how the conditions changed. Atlantis Dunes are out for now as our last trip was out that way. How about us going out to Tierkloof or are there any other trails you would like to suggest?

Lets set the date at 12/13 Feb 2011, just to give everybody a chance to settle in to their work routine. For now I think we settle on a day-trip, unless there is enough interest for a camping weekend, in which case we could go even further afield and visit Klein Tafelberg, Jakkalskloof or Boegoeberg.

Who is in and who is out??

Post by **Royco** » Wed Jan 12, 2011 8:00 am

Definitely in!

Although I would prefer a day trip. It's too soon after our holiday for a weekend.... my choice!

I'm also keen. Day trip my preference too.

Haven't been to Tierkloof yet, so this trail gets my vote.

ThysdJ · Post by **ThysdJ** » Wed Jan 12, 2011 9:20 am

There are camping facilities on the farm for those who want to stay over. I remember George, Suidwes and others camped out there last time. Maybe we'll sleep over on the Saturday night as well... That way we can at least have a lekker braai and a few beers after the trail..

Ek het gewonder wanneer gaan iemand iets se oor n trip, en vir die een sal ek weer terug wees in die land!

Thys ek se sommer nou al ek is daar!, ek gee nie om of dit kamp of dag is nie, ek maak dit kamp!

Een plek wat ek nog nie gery het nie en baie graag wil sien is Boegoeberg!
Maar aan die ander kant was ek ook nog nooit by Tierkloof nie, waar is dit?

Elk geval maak nie saak nie, laaste trip het ek gereel so die een gaan ek net saam vir die jol! maak julle maar die besluite.

Ek dink dis net hier waar ek dalk maar van die forum moet af bly(net 'n grap), met 'n seun wat nou met collage begin en al klaar met die plat kar uit die huis gaan en my net met die lux los gaan dit baie gebed kos om die plesier te finasieer.

Baie goeie idee Johannes!!

Johannes van die See · Fri Jan 14, 2011 11:49 am

Thys

This is my suggestion.

Lets have a penalty system challenge amongst ourselves during 4x4 weekends, all funds accumulated to support "Tymme charity"

Lets draw up a list of driver and vehicle errors that normally occur on off road trials, score cards to be updated by participating members whereby a point
is given on different categorised errors or mistakes.
After completion of the 4x4 trial, score cards are checked and members are fined R10 per point.

Example:

Score card: Johan van der Merwe

Safety Check Errors

1: Did member do vehicle safety check before departure. - No - 1 Point
2: Is vehicle kitted with recovery equipment . - No - 1 Point
3: Are vehicle occupant wearing safety belts during trial. - No- 1 Point

Driver Errors

1: Vehicle Roll Back. 1 Point per rollback
2: Can not make turn, vehicle reverse 1 Point per reverse
3: Failed to drive Obstacle, taking escape route 1 Point per escape route taken.
4: Vehicle damage 1 Point per incident

Environmental

1: Littering 1 Point per offence
2: Leaving path damaging plants 1 Point per offence

And so on

Member points total: Johan v/d Merwe - eg. 20 Points = R200 fine for trial errors and offences.

This will not only contribute to fund raising projects in support of "Tymme Charity" but also discipline 4x4 drivers and promote off road safety and environmental friendliness.

More ideas would be helpful, Thys you know more about the do's and don'ts, your assistance could be very useful.

Hay Johannes, ek stem saam met al die res van jou idees behawe die twee, my bakkie draai soos n ossewa, so ek moet baie keer reverse om my angles reg te kry, julle gaan te veel geld uit my maak, maak dit n half punt, dan kan ek teenminste 2keer reverse voordat ek gestraf word

ThysdJ · Post by **ThysdJ** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 1:07 pm

YO! Wie gaan die puntepoeliesman wees?

Ons kan so iets doen Johan, dit klink lekker, maar miskien nie met so baie reels nie. Minder reels maar groter penalties, dis makliker om te police..

Johannes van die See · Fri Jan 14, 2011 1:20 pm

Thys

Ek het gedink mens ruil score kaarte uit met die voertuig voor of ager jou, met ander woorde as ek voor jou is in die konvooi kan jy my dop hou en my score op wat jy sien.

Die punte wat ek aangebring het is voorlopige idees, as die ding in werking gestel word sal dit hopenlik saamgestel wees uit almal se idees en voorstelle en nie net my eie nie, so daar is klaar twee voorstelle, maak die oortredings minder maar die straf punte meer, en los goed soos wat boetie na verwys uit die punte stelsel.

Ons vorder......

ThysdJ · Post by **ThysdJ** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 1:32 pm

Tierkloof is nie 'n lekker "close and intimate" roete nie.. daar is lang stukke waar jy nie die ou voor of agter jou kan sien nie. Ons moet eerder vir die ouens challenges stel by sekere punte. Die lang sand aan die einde van die roete is 'n lekker voorbeeld. R50 per probeerslag of so... En natuurlik moet enigiemand wat 'n escape route kies by default sy Rxxx in die hoed gooi....

jan30 · Post by **jan30** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 1:48 pm

Moet 'n mens nie ook probeer om 'n baan te kry wat jou afslag gee op die toegang nie? Die verskil kan bygevoeg word by die fonds?

Johannes van die See · Fri Jan 14, 2011 1:53 pm

Nou gaan ek my self in die voet skied, maar ek sal die pyn deurmaak en my deel bydra. Die ou wat nie 'n byeenkoms wat in sy omgewing wat hier gereel word bywoon nie moet 'n donasie van R50 vir die fonds stuur. Ek sal my R50 dan die einde van die maand stuur vir die trip. (dit gaan my goedkoper kos as die penelties op die roete

)

ThysdJ · Post by **ThysdJ** » Mon Jan 17, 2011 2:20 pm

Goeie plan Piesang

In plaas daarvan om jouself in die voet te skiet, vat die doktersgelde om die koeel uit jou voet uit te haal en betaal dit ook in die rekening in...

Pieter
Die penelties op die roete was maar net n fondsinsamelings idee maar lyk my nie baie prakties nie, moet nie bang wees nie
kom net saam, as jy mooi soet is sal jy mos geen penelties kry nie.

Okay we are talking a lot about drinking and penalties and challenges etc etc here, and some guys already raised their concern about this and safety on the route.

I just want to refer to the Trail Rules as set out in the Pre Trail Driver's Briefing viewtopic.php?f=63&t=1526" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Please read this carefully and know that we will stick to these rules at all times.

We want this to be an enjoyable, safe and fun family day, without any unfortunate incidents.

Juan, this is not going to be a weekend camping trip, but overnight camping can be arranged by yourselves, as there are camping facilities on site.

Dis reg so thys, ek verstaan dit so, Ek dink nie ons sal op die trail drink nie,

Ek dink ek sal nogal wil saamgaan. Maar omdat ek 'n joernalis is sonder my eie ryding, sal ek dalk iemand se co-pilot moet wees.
Dis alles afhangend van 'n ander trip wat ek die week voor die tyd moontlik moet doen.
Ek sal julle ouens op hoogte hou, as daar iemand is wat 'n gaatjie het vir my!
