karee krans.

ecotech · Post by **ecotech** » Sun Nov 16, 2008 8:22 pm

hallo eveyone,

i have spoken to the 5 people that joined us at the protea day and suggested a weekend trip to karee krans close to rustenburg. there are 3 trails which range from 2 to a 5. 4x2`s are welcome aswell but i have to say bring your 4x4 friend with cause you will need his help.

there are ablution blocks with warm water supplied by a donkey. showers and toilets for men and woman seperatly. the cellphone reception is a bit terrible but once on the top of the cliff you have all the signals you need but who need a cell in the bush.

the camping site has trees for shade but it comes on a 1st come 1st take principale and there are enough camping place for about 20 vehicle. as far as water is concerned you better take your own or at least take containers as water is pumped from a borehole about 2km away from the camp site.

now i come to the big question of them all. anyone interrested to go and what dates? i would like a couple of people to go and therefore keeping the date open for discussion. suggestions for dates?

prices are as follows. R150-00 per vehicle (doesnt matter if its 1 person or 4 persons). camping is R50-00 per person per day. camping is back to basics and primative for some people but there are enough to feel comfortable.

please respond and give adeas please. oh ja. mind the spelling. my english is bad, ich est ein deutche.

danke!!

Martin with the Silly season starting and we already planning Berakah for December lets book this one for late January. Next year I want to do regular camps, so this may be a great start.

The price seems OK and the facilities are perfect as I don't like places with too much luxuries where all these noisy campers with their TVs sofas and the likes go.

For a weekend using gas, open fire and cool-boxes is quit OK only necessity is a decent clean toilet and shower.

Ou Bloues · Post by **Ou Bloues** » Fri Jan 02, 2009 2:35 pm

I'm tentative, I must just see if not clashing with club event.

Very nice trail, the long trail is more just for drive around with 3-4 obsticalls, My Old Navara and a Clubmembers Pathfinder broke front diff on this trail, sand on one opstical very lose in dry season.

The short route in reverse is WOW,if you can get up, the other way around it's just a lekker 4x4 obstical course if wet.

Nice place

ToyX4 · Post by **ToyX4** » Fri Jan 02, 2009 11:00 pm

Jong swambo en die kleintjie sal nie saam nie. So ek gaan alleen.

Maar ek reken daar sal vrouens en kinders saam gaan.

Ou Bloues · Post by **Ou Bloues** » Sat Jan 03, 2009 10:37 am

My vrou en 2 kinders gaan saam 1 jaar en 7 jaar oud.

Vrou laat my selde alleen gaan, die bakkie kom elke keer terug met stamp of twee om reg te maak as ek alleen uit was, so sy is maar my gewete as ek die bakkie tot laaste wil druk.

Sal maandag Finaal laat weet, maar lyk nie of die klub event die selfde naweek is nie.

ecotech · Post by **ecotech** » Sun Jan 04, 2009 8:42 pm

mense die tyd is besig om uit te hardloop....

wie kom en wie nie of gaan dit ook uitdraai soos die berakah trail?

kom nou trek daai lux`s uit die garages, maak reg, start weer dat die batteries kan charge en check die recovery gear.

pak die trailers, karavane, alucabs ens en kom karee krans toe.

kom ons wys die kapenare ons kan ook iets reg doen. al is dit maar min!

ecotech · Post by **ecotech** » Wed Jan 07, 2009 9:14 pm

hi louis. ek gaan more vir robert bel en n booking maak vir 10 voertuie. die site kan tot 30 voertuie hanteer maar ek twyfel of daar ander gaan wees. elke keer wat ek gegaan het was dit of net ek alleen of so 5 ander saam my.

die camping is R50-00 per persoon en dan is dit R150-00 per voertuig wat die roete doen.

weereens se ek net daar is nie luxuaries nie. daar is storte, toilette en dit is dit. die warm water word 1 keer n dag gemaak met n donkie en werk maar spaarsamig me die water ander kan almal nie stort nie. daar kan vuurmaak hout verskaf word teen n koste of die wat wil bring maar daardie lang brand doring hout of jou skoonma se umboia hout tafel wat jy opgekap het.

die roete is vir 4x2 en 4x4 voertuie. die 4x2 manne of dames moet weet daar is maar n paar plekke wat daardie regter voet die trick moet doen of jy kom nie die bult op nie. so wat as jou voor wiele so n bietjie airborne raak. thats the fun. daar is alternatiewe plekkies vir ons maar ook maar aan die skraal kant. maak maar liewers seker jy het n 4x4 ou voor jou en mark my words...mind die caps lock asb...BRING JOU RECOVERY GEAR SAAM!!!!!! JY GAAN DIT NODIG HE.

die 4x4 ouens het lekker speelplekke by die kamp. daar is modder gatte en dan n stewige klim op roete "B" wat nie vir die 4x2`s is nie.

roete is soos volg. roete "A" het net 3 lelike hindernisse vir die 4x2 mense. die 1 is wat hulle noem "benoude boude" dit is n gradering 5 en is vol axle twisters en so +- 40 grade down hill met los klippe en loop teen n helling. nie reguit af nie. nommer 2 is "gat stamp". hou daardie voet op die regter pedaal of sit gaan jy sit. wie mind nou so n bietjie n gebuigte running board of die tow bar wat stamp. die 3de is kakebeen. die voet moet maar weer die trick doen.

daar kan dalk nog een wees wat genoem word gly gly. vanuit die rivier klim jy n wal van turf en kan lekker sport veroorsaak.

roete "B" is n riller vir die 4x2`s. van die intrap slag of is dit hindernis op hindernis en dit is waar ons 3 uure gespook het om n ander 4x2 kzte uit te kry. daar is ook nie name hier nie want dit is white nuckle from the word go en dan n gentle cruise tot op die laaste 2. so 100m decent wat jou agterstewe gaan laat gatte kou in jou seat of soos die plumbers sal se maak dat jy washers knyp.

roete "C" is n seinic drive met net 1 rowwe hindernis maar dit is net vir die 4x4 manne.

wel ek hoop julle kom almal. kom ons wys die "capies" ons "vaalies" kan ook iets doen en reg ook....

Ou Bloues · Post by **Ou Bloues** » Wed Jan 07, 2009 11:16 pm

Ek is nou nie meer tentatief nie, maar 100% in, betaal ons daar, of versoek hulle dep. van ons voor die tyd, ek weet hulle het nog nie laas jaar dit versoek soos ander plekke nie.

Ek was die laaste 3 jaar op klomp kamp plekke, die plek is nie so sleg ingerig nie, eintlik een van die beter plekke as jy aan die bos gewoont is
