Nico, as hy tot aan die Oos-Rand kon kom, dan kon ek hom saambring. Ongelukkig was ek reeds die week in die Vuildriehoek gewees.

Slaapenstyd het nou neergedaal oor Ribbokkloof vir die meerderheid.

More sal ons brekkie bou, en dan begin met die roete.

Hi Heinrich & Ribbokkloof manne.

Ek is nog in Fochville met 'n bakkie wat ek net 'n halwe verskoning soek om aan die brand te steek. Gelukkig vir hom sal dit nie probleem oplos nie.
Ek en Louis is vanoggend 4am in die pad na julle toe, maar ons het net 50km gevorder tot ons besef het die bakkie stel nie belang om reg te kom nie.
Of die fout by die Spitronic stelsel of by die petrol pomp is kan ek nie vir julle se nie, die feit die bakkie kan nie vinniger as 100km/hr in 4de rat nie. Hy verloor spoed in 5de op 'n gelyk pad. Iets is beslis fout.

Ons sou bitter graag saam met julle die roete wou ry. Ek was nou wragtig soos 'n stout kind wat nie kan wag nie. Drink maar 'n lekker sopie op my en Louis se naam.

Groete.

I'm back at my temp Joburg home. Was really sorry to have to leave this morning, but don't want to risk missing my flight back to The Townie Cape Town.... No trail report, my son forbade me to attempt it in is 4x2 Fortuner so I obliged him... But my trip report... sorry no photo's, no camera, no space in my luggage for that as well..

So met up with Mark, Danelle and Kiara on a highway, under a bridge, somewhere near Pretoria and followed them to our destination... Hey, very unimpressive landscape, all the way there, but at least I had lots of good music and looked at the rear of Mark's Hilux until we arrived. Met another lot of amazing Hilux extended family and we had a lovely braai together... Thanks guys and girls for such a wonderful welcome and making me feel at home away from home... Must say if the landscape was unimpressive the night sky was really impressive. Have'nt seen that many stars in the Milky Way in quite a while. (maybe it was Kokerboomkloof) Felt the excitement I always have before a trail the next morning as the guys started deflating tyres and starting up their vehicles..... was soooooo sorry not to be doing the trail with them... but such is life.. had a leisurely breakfast with those not on the trail and left for the arduous trip home... 3 hrs to get home... a really long drive for a night, but was really well worth it to get to meet the extended family... Just before Middelburg a bee flew in through the open window and stung me on my shoulder blade... Ouch that was sore... stopped in Middelburg at a garage and asked a kind lady to remove the sting, and then carried on my merry way back to Joburg...

Thanks to the organizers for the GTG and all you awesome Hilux people for the lekker geselskap.....

Popmar · Post by **Popmar** » Mon Feb 27, 2012 7:17 am

Van my en my wedergeweld se kant baie dankie aan Heinrich vir die organisering van die kamp.

Ons het dit werklik geniet.

Aan al die vriendelike gesigte wat saam met ons gekamp het ook baie dankie dat julle nie julle werk of huis einas saamgebring het nie maar net julself kom geniet het en dit `n heuglike gebeurtenis gemaak het.

Aan almal wat wil uitvind wat daar gebeur het - mense kom saam volgende keer en kom geniet die natuur en julle mede forum vriende.

Trip report. - Dit was lekker en ek bedoel lekker. Wat is daar meer te vertel.

Vlak vark · Post by **Vlak vark** » Mon Feb 27, 2012 7:27 am

Thanks aan Heinreich en alle mede Luxers wat die naweek moontlik gemaak het. Ons het ons self gate uit geniet.
Dit is altyd lekker om nuwe gesigte te ontmoet. Buks ek hoop jy het die start probleem al opgelos. Sal later vanmiddag n paar foto`s laai as ons dorp toe gaan. Die Trail report is maklik.
Ons het geariveer, ons het ons self geniet en ons is huis toe.

Post by **Bugzy** » Mon Feb 27, 2012 7:58 am

Wat 'n naweek - ek en Hannelie het dit baie geniet. Dit was lekker om almal te ontmoet(gaan nog 'n tydjie vat om almal se name te onthou). Julle is almal 'n grwat klomp mense en ons sal verseker weer op 'n GTG gaan. Val dankie vit die chips, dit het handig te pas gekom. Heinrich, daai buffel wors en Eland fillet het regtig baie lekker gesmaak. Dankie vir al die hulp Sondag om my bakkie gestart te kry - ek weet nog nie wat fout was nie maar toe ek by die huis kom het hy maklik gestart(gisteraand ook). Ek sal hom maar weer na die auto lec toe moet vat. Hannelie se senuwees was gisteraand nog aan vlarde na die roete maar ek is seker teen die naweek sal sy dit weer begin heroorweeg.Sien julle weer volgende keer!!!!!
