Re: The Glen Oakes 4x4 Trail
Looked at the website:
http://www.trailguide.co.za/trlglenoakes2.html
What exactly does this mean:
'The 4x4 trail is now open ONLY for pre-arranged one-on-one training and corporate groups!'??

We were all sure the Stormers would win(incl Naas) so it is possible the website is out-of-date...

Thanks for phoning bro
Sounds like an awesome opportunity for the Forum to flag the flag and do some repairations hey
As the National GTG is a non starter it would as you suggested be an excellent opportunity for the Western Cape Oens to have a Regional Anniversary meet
What say the Oens asblf

Re: The Glen Oakes 4x4 Trail
I'm game!
Richard, I will send you dates of another fun event, our gang, Craig, Mark, Gareth, Oom Anthony etc are doing our annual pilgrimage to Hessaquas(Bonnievale) for a long weekend, it's always 100% fun and alot of Jeep vs Toyota sports. Most years a Jeep gets fixed on location(serious welding incl.) or toed home, last year Craig broke his engine but still managed to drive his SFA home on 3 cylinders!

Sorry, i had the two trails mixed up, i was thinking of the one near Montagu, Glen Oakes is just outside Caledon and it's a nice trail to do.

Re: The Glen Oakes 4x4 Trail
Did this trail two years back and we had lots of fun - Nice camp area and a covered braai area.
It is not a long trail but there were some nice obsticals. The owner joined us on the trail and did not mind us playing - Really nice guy.

Re: The Glen Oakes 4x4 Trail
Sorry, i had the trails mixed up, we did Glen Oakes a few years ago in winter, it's a scenic trail with some nice play areas and the camp site is under huge shady trees wich is a plus point in summer, they had a rock pool where the kids had good fun.
