Goeie naand almal

Dis die eerste keer wat ek saam gaan op so trippie. So wat vat ek saam ? Iets koud vir die dors en vleis vir die braai ?

Yes JJ, koeldrank vir die trail en jou eie snacks.

'n Paar baie koues vir na die tyd, eie vleis en slaai of wat ook al julle eet

Die wat kan bring maar 'n sakkie hout / charcoal, vir die kole, daar is nie so ver ek verstaan nie.

JJBotes · Post by **JJBotes** » Thu May 24, 2012 8:23 pm

Tx Mark, sal `n sak charcoal ook saam bring.

OOOOMS · Post by **OOOOMS** » Sat May 26, 2012 9:04 pm

Was a really nice day and a really nice crowd :!: :!:

A nice pleasant Hilux 4x4 Club spirit, well done guys / gals

Hats off to the Club supporters who's vehicles were either disabled / handicapped :wink2:
These guys came through for the day, just to feel the vibe and support the drivers
Tau, Francisco / Riana, Thumelo, JohanM and IISARGE
Nice

For those that travelled far...Nico aka Vlak Vark / Boere Mysie, it was nice seeing you guys again!

To the management team of McCarthy.....well done guys you deserve a pat on the shoulder! I was a large crowd over 100 people (kids included) and all went without incident

The morning started a bit chilly and cool (true Highveld style) and some early birds enjoyed some bacon, eggs and hot cuppa coffee!

The vehicles were split into 3 groups and off we went with an instructor heading for the hills.

After nice moderate trail everyone gathered back at the lapa where the fires were lit and some stories exchanged.
Arrival of he early birds:

And so we headed for the obstacles.....more pics to follow :wink2:

Thanks to the organizers, Donkey had a ball. Always a pleasure to put a name to a face - carved new friendships, maintained old ones

Tanie Linkie (spelling) and oom Martin, you guys are great sports - thank you

Stef and wife, what can I say? - (Oh first time had a short conversation with Saskia after 3 yrs

, wow!) -Thank you
Usual suspects - JohanM, Kerry-Lee (what happened to our walk?

- I was like yoh!

), Johan and Diedre (spelling), Wayne and your wife, Oooms, Sebata - thanks papa

, thank you for a great company as always.

Hmmm, JJ we must have met but I now can't recall your face

, ended up having a lovely conversation with Racing Snake and son-in-law (Ricardo) by the fire just before heading home, wow it was lovely! I think I hate day trips, cos just when you settle in and conversations are good, it's time to go, nxxx!

Oh my "mother's milk"

tasted so yummy yesterday.

Hmmmm ..... Johno looks the part of a 'naughty boy' .... Surely that acronym should mean "JBG" for "Johnny Be Good" but the other way round (opposite), i.e. "GBJ" ?

Hennie

.. en lieg het ek nie!!!! Baie dankie aan almal wat gekom het en soos bo ook gese het - BAIE DANKIE aan Neels. He was determined to take all cars through with-out damage - even a stock standard Prado WITH runners boards and nudge bar

always watching and guiding......

selfs die harde baard bakkies mooi verduidelik

al het Paul (mkhonyane - skoonseun) soms ge-knyp

Dit was regtig baie goed en glo ons sal weer so maak - vir al vir die manne en vroue wat dit dalk vir die eerste keer will aan pak. Die baan was dalk wel biki rof so hier en daar, maar met die manne van McCarthy wat hom goed ken en ook toegewyde 4x4 manne is, is dit 'n walk in the park

Nog so foto'tjie hier en daar - Oom Hennie het mos sy kimera by die huis vergeet en moes toe maar met die "Flatberry" neem

Dankie 0000ms vir die reelings - baie goeie event en opkoms van die Gautengers en sommer oral oor !!!!

Hennie

So where's da pics, for rockslider cameraman you're a bit starrag

Must i send some turps for the donkey

Most enjoyable day....Tx to the organisers and our guide, (Gobey I think). Oke was super patient with the newbies and having recognised that I have a little experience, gave me opportunity to tackle the difficult sides of the obstacles as well, fortunately I made it within 2 tries

Had a lot of fun.

Popmar · Post by **Popmar** » Sun May 27, 2012 8:04 pm

Lekker bly maar lekker al sukkel jy `n bietjie.

Dankie aanalmal wat gereël het aan die puik georganiseerde dag. As jy iets gedoen wil hê vra net die manne van die Forum en hulle saljou `n puik okasie reël.

Dankie ook aan die man van McCarthy - daardie Hilux van hom is nie sommer elke dag se "walk in the street" nie, 0m my "Dingetjie" so in die sand te kon rondsleep wil gedoen wees.

Dankie ook aan Stef wat die aanvanklike sleepwerk gedoen het. En ja Stef jy het baie goed gedoen om daardie hindernis wat niemand anders in on groepie gedoen het nie aan te pak en baas te raak. `n Mens sal nooit weet of jy kan as jy nie probeer nie. :wink2:

Donkey - en wat kan ek van jou en jou "cousin" sê behalwe dit was `n voorreg om julle saam te hê. Sien jou by die Comrades - laat weet net wat is jou nommer sodat ek op die uitkyk daarvoor kan wees.

I just wanna say from myself & Kerry, to the event organisers and all the people from the club a big thank you for making it such a pleasure to join in and have fun with all you guys!!!

Stef dankie vir die saamry en lekker chat!! Moet se jy het lekker gespeel en well done met daai moeilike obstacle!!! Jy kan maar lekker stokke vat met daai SFA van jou!!!

Donkey, thanks for all the jokes that was shared with the side riding between obstacles.

It was a really awesome day, and must say that we enjoyed it thoroughly!!!

I will post pictures tonight when I get home!!!
