Also went there on Sunday, with a group of friends(4 vehicles... Madza, Jeep, Toyota and Nissan)... love to view from the top, was a bit disappointed that some of the obstacles have been graded(flat), making them really so easy, nobody battle will any of them! Still a day out 4x4ing is better than a day stuck at home! Found Nugget(Andrew) their too... doing Boomslang wrong way round...

Well, we got the weather too, but seems you guys also had it on Saturday.

That would be something to look forward to! *None* of the red wine sent up from the Cape has even actually ever teached me, so it must be good! :mrgreen:
