Louis

Post by **JohanM** » Fri Nov 14, 2008 4:13 pm

Louis, I will post all relevant information this weekend and we will have to book in advance for tha campsite..

Post by **LouisZ** » Sun Nov 16, 2008 10:30 pm

Hi Johan,

Please book early, it can go fast if I am not mistaken.

Louis

Just a quick update to the proposed weekend.

The costs involved is R 35 per person camping per night.

Children under 12 is R 15 per child.

The 4x4 Trail is R 200 per vehicle.

I have been in contact and space is a bit limited as there is allready another group camping at the one campsite. Thus would I advise you to let me know if you want to book for camping, as I have made a provisional booking for the weekend due to space limitations.

Jou geheue is maar sleg... daai was my skoonsuster (in Middelburg) se kinders se verjaarsdag party. Die twee verjaar 'n week uit mekaar uit en die naweek daarvoor was my ander skoonsussie se versjaarsdag.

Die party van die naweek by Barakah is my skoonsuster in Pta. Sy is die unfortunate ene wat verjaar het op die dag wat my pa oorlede is in 2000.

So all enoll het ek 4 skoonsusters

BenHur · Post by **BenHur** » Wed Nov 26, 2008 8:27 am

Cassie

Ek het 'n oplossing vir jou. Reel dat al vier skoonsusters (shame arme ou jy het my simpatie) op die selfde dag hulle party hou dan hoef jy net een keer per jaar te worry oor hulle party. ( gelukkig het ek net 1 skoonsuster en sy is altyd op vakansie by die see as sy verjaar.

)

Maar aangesien hierdie jaar nou nie so gereel was nie moet julle maar die Party by Berakah kom hou!

So dan is dit dan nou afgespreek!!!! Ons sien jou by Berakah vir die roete, en die skoonsussies kan partytjie hou terwyl ons 4x4.....

Decisions, decisions, decisions....

Today I went to buy the steel for the burglar proofing for the windows for the new garage/workshop/store plus some shelving, R4000.00 worth. The plan was to do at least the burglar-proofing for the new garage this weekend so that the painters can do their thing next week and then we can also fit the glass to the windows. But then I heard that Steel prices will drop by 20% on Monday, so I cancelled the order, and will re-order next week. But... that throws my whole week next week out insofar as painting and glazing is concerned, because this can now be done only after I have finished with the burglar-proofing, which is now rescheduled for next weekend. But hey, that is Berakah...

Decisions, decisions, decisions....

uhm people people,

any 4x4 that will be willing to assist a stuck 4x2 on the trail??????

if so then i will go....as long as its a hilux towing me and not a colt or landy.....

Post by **CasKru** » Thu Nov 27, 2008 7:08 am

Martin, ek dink nie jy gaan 'n probleem hê by Berakah nie. Vat net jou eie pull strap saam en daar sal verseker iemand wees om jou te help. Sekere mense is mos baie heilig op hulle recovery toerusting en net nou moet jy hulle tweede handse strap by hulle koop as jy nie een het nie

No excuses will b e accepted. I also have a lot of things I will put on hold for that weekend but I decided all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, you need some rest some times too, the burglar bars are not going to run away.

Martin, its only the last part of the mountain where you need 4x4 with low range you can just catch a lift at that spot and pick up your van on the way back.

Alternately Cassie offered to borrow you Bloudraad for the weekend since he is whipped and can not make it, as long as you return her with a full tank.

Post by **Family_Dog** » Fri Nov 28, 2008 11:01 am

the burglar bars are not going to run away.

Yes.... but that's not the problem! The problem lies that I can only make and fit these over a weekend and the painting & glazing cannot be done until I have done the burglar proofing, thus we waste a full week... :problem:

And then we have December closures everywhere too. So near, yet so far. Still have the ceiling to do, the lights & plugs to install, but overall progress so far is satisfactory.

Ek is game vir volgende naweek maar ek is ook flexible vir die naweek daarna. Ek sal dan wel net vir die dag deurkom en kom ry, omdat dit my pa se 60ste verjaarsdag is daardie naweek.

Maar dan sal julle maar ook moet `n draai kom maak by die huis daardie naweek.

Post by **Family_Dog** » Fri Nov 28, 2008 5:27 pm

Bennie, the weekend after suits me perfectly, but I am still prepared to come through for the day on the 6th.... just pulling your leg a bit, although I would like to get this place finished.

I was thinking of coming through with Shorty, he should be able to tackle Berakah....

Nope.... just pulling your leg again... I will actually be coming through with White Fang....

(Too scared to bring Bulldog in case you get the feeling that he needs to go to Pretoria again for another three months...

)

Or am I pulling your leg again....

But I thought that was the plan, that I bring Bulldog home to have a proper exhaust build and her dynoed afterwards. I can then test drive her again thoroughly for say 3 months or so

Post by **JohanM** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 9:36 am

Hannes jy is welkom om saam te kom.

Martin, it looks like you are the only 4x2 but like Cassie said, you only need it at the last bit where you can ride with somebody and leave the KZ-TE parked next to the trail.

So far the confirmed list for this weekend trail is;

BenHur
JohanM
Fanie ( Fortuner)

Who else want to join, so that we can confirm the list by end of Today to confirm the booking....

why so many people going......shouldnt we limit the amount of people going????

Riceburner · Post by **Riceburner** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 7:59 pm

You need low range on the whole trail, unless you take a spare clutch with.

BenHur · Post by **BenHur** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 10:50 pm

My planne het ook skeef geloop sal maar moet wag vir Protea volgende jaar.

Post by **JohanM** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 6:54 am

Ok so dit lyk dan nie asof ons dit die volgende naweke sal kan inpas nie!!! Dan moet ons maar volgende jaar gaan ry as die Red baron loop.

Riceburner · Post by **Riceburner** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 7:04 am

As die red Baron al loop ja! Lyk vir my as ek Berakah myself gaan ry.

Post by **Family_Dog** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 4:15 pm

Ok, so we have decided to move the weekend forward due to work commitments and the silly season being upon us.

I have checked today with Berakah, that there is space to camp this weekend and also the costs stays the same as previous mentioned.

Trail is R 200-00 per vehicle
Camping is R 35 per person per night camping
Children under 12 is R 15 per child camping per night.

So the confirmed list thusfar is:

Benhur
JohanM.
