You can see his trail report here: http://www.ec-offroad.co.za/trip-report ... nuary-2009
It was a great day out, with a big group, but still a lot of fun. It is also nice to see what the other vehicles are capable of, especially the expensive Disco 3's etc. I must say they were quite impressive being computers on wheels on the one hill climb.
On the one hill climb called Golaith, my trusty Hilux was one of only a few vehicles that attempted it to actually get up the steep and loose rocky trail. Two other SFA double cabs (a 4Y and 22R) got stuck half way up. But success was not altogether without it's incidents...
Just near the top of the climb, in 2 low at 5000 RPM, I ventured slighty off the spoor to look for more traction, and hit an ant hill which bounced me suddenly to the left, and into a game fence, snapping one of the fence poles with my bull bar. I also lost the corner of the bumper :) Battles scars for the day
