Yes , ek gaat saam. Ek wil nie alleen agterbly nie. Sit my naam op asb. Dankie

Ek is ook nog in Val maar sal nie kamp nie. Dit te koud vir kids en los hul by vriende vir die dag. Ons sal 4 in my voertuig wees. Sien jou daar Koos. Miskien kom daar 1 vriend saam ry met sy Isuzu as hy mag.

Guys we need to start drawing a line here.

If you're in, you're in, but we cannot take any more vehicles on this trail. If we get held up at more than 1 obstacle for any length of time we're going to be stuck on the mountain until dark.. And with winter in full swing, we dont want that.

Who knows what the condition of the trail is like after the winter rain/snow?

Posted: **Tue Jul 17, 2012 9:04 am**

wilko, sal lekker wees om julle weer te sien , moet net sien watter kant van die streep ek val,lyk nie of almal meer welkom is volgens thys se thread nie.,
thys kan julle uitsluitsel gee oor die lyn wat jy voorstel, so iets kan n populere klub of forum skeur

Totally agree with Thys 20 vehicles is pushing it for this trail! Keiler, it's not that everyone's not welcome, but the trail can be difficult in places and with the weather as it is at this time of year, wet conditions make many of the obstacles that much more challenging and therefore time consuming. No one wants to be on the mountain after dark in those conditions! So it's a valid safety call, rather than drawing a line!

Posted: **Tue Jul 17, 2012 9:22 am**

thys kan julle uitsluitsel gee oor die lyn wat jy voorstel, so iets kan n populere klub of forum skeur

It is clearly stated in the first post that Tierkloof management recommend a group not larger than 15, 18 vehicles at a stretch, we are sitting at 22.

Would it be useful/adviseable to break into 2 groups of 10, with say a 1 hour departure delay for the 2nd group?

Geen vaste lyn nie Koos, wel nog nie. As jou naam opdie lys is is jy in.. ek verstaan nie waar die onduidelikheid inkom nie. Die oorspronklike max voertuie was 15/18 as ek reg onthou, en ons trek al by 23.. Ek haal aan van die oorspronklike post:

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

My intensie is nie om hierdie populere forum in 2 te skeur nie, maar eerder om vir almal wat saamgaan 'n aangename dag op die berg te laat geniet. Dis nie lekker om nr25 in die ry te wees terwyl jy 2 ure sit en wag vir die ouens voor jou om oor 'n obstacle te kom nie. En glo my daar is 'n paar wat mens lank kan besig hou..

We can do that B, maybe let the overnighters go first starting at 8am and the day trippers coming in from CT leave at 9am or something to that effect?? But we must be sure there is enough time between the groups...

I am planning to leave Winland 1 stop at 7am on Sat, and everybody who wants to join the convoy is welcome.

ja dit klink goed maar groepe moet nie ingedeel word soos dagbesoeker en kamper nie, die eerste voertuig ry 8h00 en die eerste 10 wat reg is volg, dan kan volgende groep 9h00 vertrek.
ons kan nie 8h00 eers begin met dokumentasie nie, dan raak almal laat

The list of people as I have it so far..... please don't worry about how many people want to go... we can divide into 2 or 3 groups leaving an hour to 2 hours apart... so its no sweat...

Camping is not an issue... There are some people that definitely want to camp... closer to the weekend we can work that one out when we see what the weather predictions are..

The owners of the camp recommended we had 15 at a time, so if we have more than 15 we split the group... I must also add that in my experience, things come up and at the last minute for some people and they can't make it... so the group could even land up being a lot less....

Wilko as jou vriend wil saamry is hy welkom....laat weet net so dat ons sy naam op die lys sit...

Ek onthou die laaste keer wat ek by Tierkloof was moes mens lank in die hutte sit en wag vir manne wat nie teen die lang sand hewel kon op kom nie, darem is dit nie nou so warm nie maar die lank wag is nie lekker nie. Die groep is groot.

En die sand is nou BAIE lekkerder as wat dit laas jaar was!!! Hou links vir die ou "maklike" klim, en hou regs vir n baie lekkerder "moeliker" klim

Mr Ford Everest, are you going to go last, in case you get stuck on a rock so you don't hold up the Toyota train

See you guys there. Val don't worry I sommer added my name

die eerste voertuig ry 8h00 en die eerste 10 wat reg is volg,

Koos soos ek die Kapenaars ken gaan die 10h00 groep die gewilde een wees. Daar gaan dalk 2 in die 8uur groep wees.

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2012 9:56 pm**

Net n vraag, gaan daar sneeu op die berg wees of sal dit al weg wees teen volgende naweek?

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2012 10:03 pm**

Dink dit gaan gesmelt wees

ons eie konvooi van die weskus af maak.

Jy ry te vinnig

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2012 10:06 pm**

Johannes miskien sneeu dit weer....

During next week I will put up a list for the 2 time options. I imagine the difference will be in whether some of us are camping or not... I know there are some diehard campers who will definitely be camping.. and probably quite a few who are optional depending on the weather forecast... I am not that keen to camp if rain is predicted because thats just messy... but not to bothered about the cold...

Probably those that want to get back home early will want to go in the first group, I imagine the campers have the whole day so are not too fussed about going later... Think you must think about that for the time being..

No we are'nt full, that term is relative, can even do three groups if need be... too many excuses Stephan....

No worries Tertius, you can join group 3 when they leave..

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2012 1:43 pm**

Just spoken to Willem from Tierkloof... obviously a lot of final decisions are going to be weather dependent ie camping, kuier after the trail..

If the weather is suitable we have 2 camping options... one at Tierkloof itself at the start/end of the trail, there are braaidrums, ablutions and electrical points... or at Wilko's friends farms, where we have to have a minimum of 9 adults to camp to use the facility...

We can have a braai get together after the trail, that also depends on whether it is raining or not, as there is no fixed building we can shelter in..

Soooo, if the weather looks good, bring goodies to eat and drink, and bring firewood... Drums are available but not firewood...

First getaway time appears to be 8-8.30 from the posts, and depending on how many leave first....the next group an hour to 2 or after them... for the second group we could even drum up a little breakkie GTG while waiting to do the trail... we can plan that next week

Mmmm just thinking, bacon sarmie breakfast and coffee, or for those not into bacon, fried egg sarmie breakfast and coffee... I have a skottel

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2012 1:51 pm**

Oh, and for Thys's benefit the 3rd group can light the fires for the 1st and 2nd group so that when they reach the end, the fires will be ready

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2012 2:15 pm**

one should never leave any fires unattended Val..

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2012 2:39 pm**

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2012 2:56 pm**

I agree Johannes

Of course I expected that because we drive Hilux's the first group would be back before the 3rd group left... but then I think there is a Ford in the bunch.... so well..... we must wait and see

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2012 3:11 pm**

I is just finking, hkgk, want die groep is groot........en om dit reg te manage, wel, slap me till I'm silly but ek dink organiserende ondervinding raak nodig.

Moenie bekommerd wees nie, daarvan het ons baie....

Die wat eerste opdaag en vroeg huis toe moet ry, ry eerste 8-8.30... so tussen 10 en 12 voertuie...;as hulle wil kan hulle so lank vuur aansteek en kuier terwyl die tweede groepie klaarmaak....;

die wat nie haastig is nie en eers n brekkie en koffie wil drink, ry tweede.. ie so omtrent n uur of twee na die eerste groepie...omtrent 9.30-10.30

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2012 3:49 pm**

Ons is groep B (brannewyn) ons begin 7h00 onder die groot boom, moenie worry nie ons sal julle nie pla nie, as die eerste bottel val dan begin ons die trail van die ander kant af
