22-24SEPT-Long Weekend- GTG Boegoeberg 4x4 CANCELLED

GI Jane · Post by **GI Jane** » Fri Jul 20, 2012 9:00 am

We have planned a weekend GTG at Boegoeberg 4x4 trail for September... there website is http://www.boegoeberg4x4.co.za/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

Quite a few of you may be familiar with this trail, as it is very, very popular with 4x4 clubs and drivers... The trail is close to Clanwilliam which means quite a drive, hence a camping weekend....

Because this is a popular place we need to book well in advance and all deposits need to be paid by the 7th September..

Camp Fees are R150 per vehicle per night.... Trail fees are:-

There are 2 trails, if you would like to drive both trails it is R200 for both... if not both, the shorter one is R100, and the longer one R180..

I have provisionally booked for 15 vehicles, so if you really want to go, get your names on the list and if we are more than 15 vehicles, we need to know that before the rest of the campsite gets booked up. Sybrie already has other bookings for that long weekend..

I am amending this post because I have been told that we can definitely not have more than 15 vehicles on the trail on a day because of the difficulty and the trail can take more than 6 hours. So the situation is this.... It is a long weekend, some may be able to arrive on the Friday already and so we could have a group on the Sat and another group on the Sunday to do the 25km trail..

There may be those that want to do the shorter 10km route, or maybe just camp for the long weekend... So please state your preferences behind your name... Only the first 15 names for the 25 km trail for that specific day will be accepted...Eg. 1. (Name) (Day to do the 25km trail ie. Saturday of Sunday) (10km trail) (or just camping with the group for the weekend)
Please check out their website to get more information... The 2011 Drive out 4x4 Trail Guide also has a nice write up about Boegoeberg..

That's great Johannes, but which weekend do you prefer or does'nt it matter?

Johannes van die See · Fri Jul 20, 2012 9:25 am

Doesn't matter, if I'm not in some forgotten African country I'll attend any weekend, I've been wanting to go to Boegoe for a very long time now!

Eish, 23 Sept is my Dads birthday and I will be in Montagu

Post by **pietpetoors** » Fri Jul 20, 2012 1:08 pm

I know previously Sybrie had a special that if we are more than 15 vehicles/ couples, then he will do a spitbraai on the house. That was like 2 years ago, I can find out from him if that is still the case.

Boegoeberg is one of my favorite trails and camping sites!

Why don't you join us that weekend... You can get to meet our awesome Cape group... You guys could either drive down spend a few days in and around the Cape and at my place, or fly down for the weekend, and drive to the GTG with me..

I will be taking my trailer, so have spare everything.... tents, matresses, duvets etc......

We can make it a bumper WC GTG....

Please do that Pieter... had a chat to him this morning, and he is so accommodating.... He has put aside a section for us that accommodate 20 vehicles and more suitable for a group type setting with all the ablution etc facilities... it is not at the dam site because those are more suitable for single family type campsites...

So far the few that have voted prefer the long weekend option, and because of the distance it does appear to be the more suitable one, but unfortunately that's your Dad's birthday weekend... and Robertson is in the opposite direction to Clanwilliam for you...

Have heard that it is a very popular trail and campsite...

Only reason I am not jealous of the trip is because I have one coming up soon and may be over long trips for a minute or two...

But definitely make a plan to join us at one of our GTG some time... we have an amazing group

Post by **pietpetoors** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 11:07 am

I phoned Sybrie this morning
He said he does not have the special of the free spit braai anymore.

They still do a spit for 30 or more people at R90.00 per adult, R50 children under 12 and free for pre-school children.
That includes the salads and bykosse

Thanks Pieter, sounds great..... will see later, closer to the date the numbers in the group, and if we have a consensus for a spitbraai..

Hey guys/gals, things gone a bit stale on this thread, are we all still up for it ?? we need to confirm camping numbers etc as I think we must make a booking at least....appreciate we are still away off from this but apparently this is one great trail and camping facilities....

I know Val is still up north in NAM so I can pick up the event in the meantime whilst she is away and maybe make some provisio numbers for camping and number of vehicles for the trail etc....

cheers Stubster

Hi Guys,

Phew that has been a long time away but am back from my trip and would like to get the list up and running for this 4x4 weekend.... There are a lot of tbc on the list and as we need to pay deposits by the 7th need only names that will definitely be joining us and will be paying their deposits by 7th into the club account, I will update the list on the first page. I need number of people in the group, number of nights, and trail information. We need at least 10 vehicles to attend the event and secure our booking..

1. Val x1, 3 nights, Full trail = 225 + 200 = 425 dep R220

Hi Val,a while back we spent a few days at Boegoeberg,really a great place.For those hardcore campers theres a site right up in the mountains to camp,a bit of a nasty climb up with the vechicle,but i recomend somebody to take the sight(no small kids there are sharp dropoffs),but really great views.Enjoy the trip Guys and Gals
