not so sure if the 4th is the best date to choose because the hilux vs. land cruiser day is supposed to happen on the 3rd as per this link viewtopic.php?f=14&t=39704 but im not sure if that is still happening as the thread has been quiet for a while.

Hi Thabo,
There are chicken routes on every "obstacle".
Was there about a month ago and my brother in law in GWM 4x2 followed me through the trail. He did use a couple of the chicken routes though.
Cheers

Hi Peet, you are welcome to join, what happened to the Hilux?

We will meet down by the braai area, which is to the left, once you have gone through the entrance.
