http://www.driveout.co.za/4x4/trails/tierkloof-4x4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The cost for driving the trail is R100 per vehcile and R20 per person in the vehicle.... The trail will be trickier than the one we drove last week and includes both rocky and sand sections...
The route is 12 km long and can take from 2.5 hours depending on the size of the group and the experience of the drivers...

They recommend a group not larger than 15 to 18 vehicles at a stretch so numbers will be limited for the trail...

We also have an opportunity to camp the weekend at a place nearby that has been recommended by one of our members... Apparently a lekker kuierplek, with a communal kuier area, kitchen, bar area, electrical plug points and lots of space. The bonus of the camping place is that we literally only need to decide that week, depending on the weather, if we want to camp or not...

With it being so close to Cape Town the camping facility will be for the Friday and Saturday night... So close to Tierkloof to get to the trail early and then a good place to kuier and not have to drive home until the next day... As I said the camping option need only be implemented if the weather is going to be good...

Hi Matthieu... We have'nt finalised the arrangements for August yet, but here is a link to the events we have planned for August... We will definitely be having a get together or two, so just keep active on the forum and you will see them come up... It will be wonderful if you could join us on a trail or weekend... It is always good to meet people who's names become familiar to us... What dates will you be in South Africa?

The link to the events planned for the year in the western cape is

its a nice trail, very rocky, steep descent on the back half also, some very loose marbly sections on the way up also with plenty of Cross axle work.., campsite is basic but clean, stunning views of Brandvlei, toilets/showers are clean with hot water......

as is tradition on this trail I will be making bacon sarmies on the Saturday morning - ask Thys !!!!!

The list exceeds this so far, but I am going to continue adding names, because if we have more than they recommend, we can go in two groups with the one group leaving earllier and the next group 2 hours later... Also what happens is that closer to the time some may not be able to make it due to unforseen circumstances... so those that want to attend, you are all still welcome.
