Venue for the Easter 2009 National Hilux GTG

We now have a date and now for the venue.

Can I please have your suggestions for venues?
If you give a Town name please motivate why you suggest that venue/Town. Please keep in mind that we want to keep it as central as possible with formal and camping accommodation. There must be something to do i.e. 4x4 route and other outdoor activities.

Can you also indicate where you will be travelling from and more or less how many adults and how many children will accompany you?
Will you be camping or staying in formal accommodation.

I will take your suggestions we receive over the next two weeks and create a poll that will include the suggestions. Then we vote and we get the show on the road.

How would the good Hilux folk feel about a quick "Head Count" I wonder

Then when we in the Western Cape have a 75% Majority we'll tell everyone else to "sling their hooks" and we'll have it around the corner :lol: :lol:

Oooops, I mean maybe look at "one price" for all to subside the travelling costs for the stragglers from afar :wink:

Korannaberge is about 130km East of Bloemfontein.

There are 3 farms all together here. Each has a 4x4 route, and all have varing degrees of difficulty. I have stayed at Koranna Wegbreek, and they have chalets and camping, with a lapa large enough to cater for around 50 odd people.

This is a beautiful part of our country.

http://www.4x4eco.co.za/Koranna/


Those that want to take a long break over the school holidays can venture further on towards Golden Gate. There are numerous other trails along the way. We could then also do an extended trip through Lesotho for those that are keen.

Have a look here.
http://mags.wheels24.co.za/Driveout/Tra ... State/Home

If the EFS gets the vote, I'll start recce ASAP and include photos.

Also, if there is interest in an extended Lesotho trip, I'll get working on this too.

All in favour? :idea:

Koranna berge is great. Ek het 'n 4x4 opleidings naweek daar gedoen en die plek is fantasties en lekker vir 4x4. As ek reg onthou is dit omtrend so 100km vanaf Bloem op van Zoelenshoek plaas.

Witsand is gelee omtrent 80km vanaf Olifantshoek en omtrent 130km vanaf Upington. Dis ook 'n lekker plek en daar is darem so bietjie sand om te ry ook.

I am confused here now (scratch head) is this event for all 4x4 vehicle's that our members drive on this web site, if this is the case, I recon that we must then invite our Dustbin friend and then let us guys with real Hilux 4x4's show him how things are done, but have it open to all Road registered used 4x4 vehicle's instead, lockers, crawler gears, revolver shackles, high ground clearence and secret controls. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

:idea: Agreed, in fact if you are going alone maybe I should just go with you in your monster truck :mrgreen: then we can save on traveling costs.
Unless we are trying to set a record for the most Hilux's in one place then I might have to bring Blue Gnu along :wink:
