Tuinskloof 4x4 + Prado Hill (Patensie - Eastern Cape)

Post by Rebel 4x4 »

Last week we went to Patensie for a nice quite drive through the Bafiaans... It was beautifull as always, especially after the huge amount of rainfall. It was green, greener as I could ever remember.

The trail was probably the best I've ever driven. Driving through rivers, rocky paths, mud and steep, very steep inclines.

I concentrated so hard, I never saw the beauty of this area, only on the photos taken by my wife.

As usual, it's difficult taking photos witout having some dedicated person taking photos. So excuse the photos from inside the cab, as SWAMBO wants to be in the action!

Thomas, het enige iemand Prado Hill gemaak?

Ek was laas by Tuinskloof toe ek nog die 2.8D Hilux d/cab gehad het. Ek het die bult aangedurf, maar die arme diesel was hopeloos te pap daarvoor.

Ek sien daar is 'n trip report on die cruiserclub site van ouens wat dieselfe dag as julle daar was en iemand het 'n foto gepost van die sticker agter op jou canopy :mrgreen:

Hi Barto, ja, daar was so 3 manne wat dit gemaak hat. Greame Watson (daai geel Hilux bakkie met Ford engine en crawler gears), en 2 Land Cruisers.

Die heuwel het nogal erger gelyk as die foto's wat ek al voorheen gesien het. Seker maar van die reen.

Daai Cruiser ouens was saam ons. Maar net na die heuwek gekyk, soos ek.
