I have the need for DUNES driving

ThysdJ · Post by **ThysdJ** » Tue Oct 02, 2012 3:47 pm

I feel like a spot of dunes riding.. I havent been to Atlantis for ages, and it looks like the weather is clearing up. Anybody wants to join me on the weekend of 13/14 Oct? Either day will work for me..

Vir die newbies sal ek selfs bietjie gratis opleiding ook gee...

Ry met Amandel rylaan vanaf Bottelary, 1 ste pad na die rivier draai jy regs. Ry tot by die kragdrade, draai regs op tweespoor pad en gooi. By die bos kan jy regs indraai en volg net die paadjie tot by die DAM.

Dit is nie helltemal "LEGAL" nie, maar dis lekker.

Ek het al 'n Saterdag middag vir omtrent 4 ure daar in die modder vasgesit.

Onthou net Zevenwacht is privaat eiendom.. Jon Johnson gaan julle gatte aan die brand slaan...

Trek julle Hlux4x4 stickers af as julle daar wil loop speel...

Hoppy · Post by **Hoppy** » Wed Oct 03, 2012 8:07 am

Is dit dan nou vas vir die 14e?

ThysdJ · Post by **ThysdJ** » Wed Oct 03, 2012 8:12 am

Ek is happy met die 14de..

Hoppy · Post by **Hoppy** » Wed Oct 03, 2012 8:24 am

OK, ek sal 7hOO by die Wimpy op die N7 wees, n vinnige brekkie, dan is ons 8Hoo by die hek as hy oopmaak, die wat nie wil brekfis nie kan ons binne kry.

Werner het n ou paar waterskies by n vriend gekry, dit moet nog ge "modify" word en agter die Hilux gesleep word!

It never rains but it pours..

After 3 very quiet months on the 4x4 training and driving front, all hell broke loose all of a sudden.

Due to all sorts of training sessions and other 4x4 training related activities in the next month I'll have to withdraw from this event, but I leave you in the capable hands of Allan (Hoppy) and Stuart (Stubs).

They'll look after you and make sure you have a fantastic day out in the dunes.

Sorry guys, I was really looking forward to getting sandy for a change..

I see on some outings the people still use 29mhz radio's, just wanted to check if we are all on the same channel.

GI Jane · Post by **GI Jane** » Mon Oct 08, 2012 10:02 am

Johann, I think most people have VHF now, well that's been my experience so far...

Does anyone know what is happening about arranging permits for sunday? No permits, No dunes!

Nie te veel speel plek gewees by die Zevenwacht ding nie. altans nie in die 2 ure wat ions daar was nie.
het darem 1 foto

Daai walletjie by die dam het al heelwat trappe gebuig, gewoonlik moet jy hulle weer plat spring voordat die deure oopmaak

GI Jane · Post by **GI Jane** » Mon Oct 08, 2012 6:00 pm

Hey Guys, am only going to know a bit closer to the time whether I will be able to make it on Sunday, have a bit of a family medical crisis to sort out, and not sure until later in the week if I will be able to make it on Sunday. If I do, will be bringing my Dad with for a brand new dune experience for him,... Mmmmm... not sure if it is such a great idea, but will see..

Hoppy · Post by **Hoppy** » Mon Oct 08, 2012 8:41 pm

Is everyone sorting their own permits, or are we doing a group-buy?

GI Jane · Post by **GI Jane** » Mon Oct 08, 2012 8:55 pm

It would be handy if someone is close to town to get all the permits... I wont be able to get the permits and will only know towards Thursday if I can make it... My Mom is having a hip replacement tomorrow after a bad fall today, and I am looking after my Dad.. Not sure if he will handle the dunes at 86 years old...will see how it goes.

ThysdJ · Post by **ThysdJ** » Tue Oct 09, 2012 7:58 am

Unfortunately I am not going to be anywhere near town to collect permits. The "year-end close down rush" has hit us hard at this place where I earn my pay.
