hi all, has anyone done bobejaanskloof trail before(think its in lesotho), i think thats the name. heard its pretty rough and exactly the thing our hilux's were built for. would one go solo on the trail or strictly in a group?
just thought i would like to do a technical route and not just sand and mud that im used to.

Re: bobbejaanskloof trail?
The young locals gather in their numbers and walk the route beside you, however you can't out-ride them due to the obsticals and many, many rocks in the road. I mean huge bolders over 1m in diameter!

Re: bobbejaanskloof trail?
I guess we do now, hey! :wth:Rich, we'll never know, will we?
Mark, thanks for the pics ... looks very scenic .... especially the falls at the end.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Nou's ek wakker en my brein is soos 'n 105 vol gecharge, die naam van die pas is Van Zyl's. Het mon nog nie kaans gehad om daar te ry nie. Maar blykbaar ook nice.
