Hilux 4x4 Forum

The Border 4x4 challenge will take place on Saturday 16th October at Wansley quarry, the quarry is in East London and very easy to find. There will be a camping area for those that wish to stay over Friday and Saturday night, there is also a braai area in the forest that we will make use of. No need to make bookings for the camping as it is a very large lawn area. There will be a R10 camping Fee per person per night.

Wow the camping fees are hectic, does this include breakkie?

If so, I gve it some thought....

You'd be more than welcome, Mark .... just bear in mind, no showers / ablution blocks and you bring all your own stuff you need and take away all you brought. That's why the fees are so "hectic" !!

Suppose, kids U13 half price?

No charge! ..... but you won't be able to fool them Mr Soon-t-be-a-toppie!

Ha! They never heard of David Copperfield

Why is it called 'BORDER' challengs?

Them fellas in the Eastern Cape think they are on the frontier with the rest of Africa. The last vestages of civilation before entering the hinterland of dark Africa.

Ag dis ok, ek geniet dit om die grensenaars se siele uit te trek. Het nogal 'n liefde vir die Oos-Kaap, pragtige deel van ons land (al is hulle koedoes so klein).

Dates back to the old 'British Kaffreria' days ..... the Kei was the border, a natural barrier, .... just became known as the border area.

Heinrich ... where have you been hunting around here?? ... on farms that have been 'shot out' and only younger stock remain?

You need to know where to go ..... I have some 32" to 37" horns from around here (lesser kudu) .... last one I shot dressed out at about 108kg IIRC, but I've had much bigger than that.

Sien, ek was heeltemal reg gewees. Mens kan die lesser kudu ook daar in die Oos-Kaap (aka Iestern Cape) jag, ek het dit nog altyd vermoed.

Andy, I've hunted a couple of times down in the Humansdorp area, and then plenty in the Graaf Reinett area. Here comes the irony, I've shot 3 Rowland Ward Blesbuck down near Humansdorp.

How was this event?

Gaan Krappies ook deelneem? Laas hulle gesien toe ek co-driver was vir my Oom by Kirkwood en Western Cape Nationals kompetiesie paar jaar terug.

Almost certain that 'Krappies' was there .... those two old toppies hardly miss an event. Didn't go myself .... too much going on with myself right now.
