Ok, so the smog does suck but other than that
Die foto het my bietjie mislei, ek het gedink die foto is teen die voet van die berg naby Sir Lowry's pas geneem.

Ek het giste op google earth gaan soek volgins wat hul site aangee en dit is nie naasten by waar ek gedink het dit moet wees nie en om seker te maak ek is op die regte spoor het ek gister die plek gaan soek. So nou sal ek julle darm nie mis nie.

Awesome views, I'm looking forward to the trip. Just hope the weather improves dramatically before then so the trail can dry out.

Moennie wori, if it's not raining you can attempt any of the Rooi stuff if you so choose :wink:

If it's raining, we'll still have a ball and an Awesome Experience with Kobus' Message, a Blessing and a half either way :thumbup: :P

Check the look of Awe on this Northerners Face when he went there Sept last year :o:

We have done the trail Sunday past 3 vehicles and 1 Jimmy. The Jimmy did the complete red route with no probs. From the experience gained on Sunday 4-5 vehicles at a time max and very good communication. Half of the route is done up and down on same road and very little almost none passing points. Some advise drive up to the top wait for all to arrive and start returning. We played as it was only us four on the route we did the boomslang from top down. The Hilux lift its wheel like my dogs against the trees in the park.

You must enjoy the drip.

A bit of confusion with the Co-ords, I can't maak any sense of the ones given by Pumba, :?

Here's a Google Map of the meeting point:

Former Opel Dealership Car Park

Corner of Bird (R304) and Adam Tas (R44)

True Co-ords: S33*55'20", E18*51'19"

Will e-mail all attending Manne also :wink:

Wow!! - What An Awesome Trail Manne :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Many many thanks to all involved :thumbup:

Our Party: 15 vehicles all through without incident :clap: :clap:

More than can be said about the two parties that followed us; the 2009 Hilux was badly damaged in the second group and a Landy in the 3rd group had to be winched out of Boomslang :roll:

Special thanks to Kobus for the planning, there was "Wors for Africa" afterwards and nought but great camaraderie and excellent humour on the radios and around the braai fires :clap:

A very special and memorable Trail - nou let's get the videos and photo CD's to Kobus for another one of his amazing productions. :P :wink:

I'll put up my photo link just nou - but here's one that describes the day and after-taste for me :arrow:

Thanks again Manne, awesome to meet so many new Forum Members and Potential recruits :wink: :wink:

Eisch, that's my Hilux grabbing some air :thumbup: You guys need to realise I'm a newbie at this, when you say "gee vet", I tend to plant my right foot against the floorboards :D:

What a great day, thanks to all involved. It was a blessing to be part of the group and I trust we'll do plenty more of them in the future. We can also maybe try a new approach with regards to the social interaction between the groups and maybe add in some sort of Scouts type exercises where we have to construct something together or outdoor team building type games etc.

This was also my first official 4x4 trail and I fell in love with my Hilux all over again. I enjoyed Saturday soooo much that I continued with the fun at Altantis today. What an awesomely capable vehicle !!!!
Only now I have a true appreciation of why you guys all rave so much about your Luxes, they're the "Bassets danglers!!!!" :clap:

I learnt two valuable lessons on the day:
1. Be greatfully for every little thing you have, God has blessed us richly.
2. You can never have too many lockers on your vehicle :wink: :D:

To those that tackled those obstacles without it, well done boys... respect !!!

Dankie Manne !!. This was really an awesome day. Nice to have met some of the blokes on the forum and to have experienced the adrenaline and enjoyment you've all been raving about.
Taking the kayamandi kids along with us really just made it all so much more special.

A little moment I must share, was returning to my vehicle at boomslang to find a new face in the backseat. At first thought she just wanted to sit with her friend, my passanger, for the rest of the trip. But soon realised that it was one of the passengers of the Lux that had been at the bottom... a little longer than the others. But the expression on her face when she saw that lux eventually rising out of the hole was priceless! She stopped her sentence halfway through and jumped out , making her way back to her original driver, ecstatic that he had "overcome the slang".

It was really all heart-warming stuff. The best introduction to offroading anyone could ask for. :clap: :thumbup:

On the topic of lockers....
I must admit, I did enjoy being asked "So you have a Rear Diff-Lock in that Prado?" or "thats the Prado with traction control, right?". I enjoyed the :? or :think: when I replied that no I dont have either, :D .

Guys without lockers: Its all about wheel placement and only put down as much power as what you have traction, too much = spin = stuck.

Ons sou daai UNO op Wacky se dak moes vas maak. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wacky ja ek leer ken ook nou maar eers 4x4 en ek dink as ek dit goed onder die knie het dan sal ek ook begin met lockers, 'n ou kan daar sonder deur, maar ek dink wil nie dis weis om jou voertuig onnodig onder stres sit nie.

En ja dit was louter genot om te sien hoe kalm daai toy van jou die bulte pak :thumbup: :clap:

:think: Mag ek dit waag om hier te sê. "welgedaan" aan die 2 Isuzus, Prado, die Cold en die Ford, dis altyd lekker om 'n ander ou te spot, skies terg, oor sy voertuig, maar soos ek vanoggend vir iemand gesê het ek het nog net met 'n Toy ge 4x4 so ek kan nie sleg praat van ander produkte nie en die wat saam was het my beindruk. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Dankie Piesang, I really enjoyed that we were a bunch of guys out in their 4x4's and that all were fully accepting no matter what you drove.

Tobi the German said that's a few things he'll never forget about his Awesome RSA 4x4 Experience:

1. Seeing The Uno parked with 15 Awesome trucks - "ziss cannot be so, kan it" :? :? :?
2. Seeing the look on my face when I saw what was waiting after the water climb (and scramble for Mikes) :o:
3. Watching and Listening to the Kidz toi-toi for the Toy Toyz :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Priceless :!:

Daai woef hardloop ook al die pad saam met ons as in die aande na werk daai roete gaan mountain bike. Daar was nog n hond op die plaas toe ek nog op skool was maar ek sien hom nie meer nie. Laaste wat ek die ou gesien het was hy al diep in sy jare so ek dink hys seker maar nie meer met ons. Jare terug het ons een aand laat n luiperd net onder die uitkykpunt gesien met n trappie wat ons die nag daar gaan maak het. Ek weet nie wie die grootste geskrik het nie, ons of die luiperd nie :o: :o: :o: O, ja daars ek het al pofadders afgekom op die plaas wat Zuma se agterstewe sal laat skaamkry! :wth:

One of the 'first-time' 4x4 participants 'Noob' driving Roy... in action



Please note as well that a new L-a-n-d R-o-v-e-r battled with this obstacle just after Noob conquered it on his first 4x4 outing!

It's not so easy sonder lockers!

Well done Shaun and Roy!

Boeta Steve's broken Engine Mount and consequential fan-against-cowling-grating noise brought a few memories flooding back to me. :shock: :cry:

Have you got the "gotta-be-the-diff sound" on Video Oom Bretton :?:

If you don't come right with getting it fixed Boeta send me a PM maybe you can take a turn by me in Obz for a fix :wink:

It was so loud that I thought there was a Big Match on nearby :o: :o: :mrgreen:

Goeie dag
Hierdie was voorwaar 'n baie aangename Trip, selfs beter as ons DS Outings.
Dankie vir al die raad en aansporing. Ek het baie geleer en sal graag weer so 'n rit wil meemaak.
Die gees was goed. Ek was bietjie gespanne dat ek die ander manne sou vertraag by die hindernisse. Goed om te weet dat daar nog mense met geduld is vir die onervares. Hopelik sal dit volgende keer beter gaan.

My seun is veral beïndruk met die groep, juis omdat dit ons eerste uitstappie was. Hy was seker maar versigtig of ons die Rit sou voltooi, juis omdat hy op 'n vorige keer die sideshaft van ons S3 SWB LR "afgedraai" het.

Pieter, DV, sal ons gereed wees vir die 14/11 Walk of Faith Uitstappie.
Ek moet die Lux diens en probeer om die bande te vervang
Hou ons maar op hoogte met die vordering van sake.

Dankie by voorbaat vir die DVD. Ek sal ons foto's hierdie naweek by Kobus uitkry.

Geniet die dag en die 4X4-ing.
Groete
Stephen
