Leon Gouws are planning a weekend to remember there this weekend...we cannot go- Lucy had a huge fall at he invitational and we have not had time to fix her up yet....
Hi All,
Once again we are planning a nice year end get together and "drive like crazy weekend" for all the challenge guys and their friends/families/4x4 connections. We do this every year and it has always been the highlight in my 4x4 year. If you missed it last year, speak to anybody who didn't, they'll tell you all about it. This is not a competition weekend, but I would like to think that we challenge each other and our vehicles even more than on our official challenges!
We decided to move the weekend back to the long weekend like in the past, to give us more time to play, and because the MSA prize-giving now falls on the weekend of the 7th of December. We will therefore be playing from the 14th to the 17th of December.
This get together is held at Moegatle (near Brits) and Alex(the owner) has once again organized us very special rates for the weekend, as we are his favourite clients, bringing some real action to his doorstep! We plan to do 3 excursions which will cater for serious 4x4 rigs, and standard 4x4's.
The planned action will take place as follows, and please note these are estimated times only, our return times depend on how much fun we are having :
Friday Night : 20:00 - ±00:00 Night drive - Driving the round the house route up to "Propshaft valley". The night drive is an eerie experience and not for the faint of heart! Be warned! (make sure your lights work, and get lights if you don't have! You will need lights anyway for our first friendly challenge in 2013, which is going to be a day/night event as well.)
Saturday : 10:00 - ±20:00 Complete Moegatle 22km trial, making some new challenging obstacles as we go, and starting the day with "Sledgehammer" up to "Klein Botswana". We might even fit in a Dry River Bed Drag race like last year. This trail is family friendly (if you don't mind the occasional "veltie") and your family can follow with the refreshments and hotdogs in a standard 4x4. Afterwards we will all braai together with Alex supplying the "pap & sous" and the fires. We will be watching some 4x4 action of the day and other events on the big screen as well.
Sunday : 10:00 - ±16:00 Tjokwe Rocky mountain trail. This is basically a rockcrawling trail mostly for serious 4x4 rigs, but standard 4x4's can stay close to the action all day long. We will be driving our well known route in reverse this year, so bring all the winches, recovery straps and kinetics you own or can borrow/steal, you are going to need it!!!!! Please note that we only start at 10:00 so everybody that still want to listen to the church service on RSG beforehand can do so.
Monday (Public holiday) : Load what's left of your rig and family, and go home with a smile on your face!
Costs and Accommodation:
The total cost for the use of the 4x4 trail is R 250 per vehicle, which includes Friday night, Saturday and Sunday. For the most part, this is a camping weekend and camping spots are R 150/spot/night up to 4 people. You can add R 25/person/night for every person more than 4. There are a few power points available, but please note that only the guys that come early and bring long leads will get power! The facilities include ablution blocks with hot showers, a swimming pool and a bar.
For the guys that don't want to camp, the accommodation is as follows(and in Afrikaans) :
2 kamers elk met dubbel plus enkelbed @ R350 per nag.
1 kamer met 2 enkel beddens @ R300 per nag.
Kamers het hulle aparte ablusie plus ingerigte buite kombuis.
1 dubbel bed chalet wat self catering is @ R450 per nag
1 groot self catering dubbel bed chalet met upper deck waar nog 3 enkelbed matrasse gegooi kan word @ R500 per nag. Ons het ekstra matrasse maar die ouens moet net linne bring vir ekstra matrasse.
Kamers/chalets (behalwe vir ekstra matrasse) het linne.
Dan het ons Ook reg langs die kampplek ons bosveld huis (park home) @ minimum R400 per nag of R100 per persoon. Daar kan omtrent 7 mense slaap. Moet eie kussings en linne bring. Daar is breekgoed en portable aircon.
Vir die onderdag verblyf plekke verlang ons egter dat ouens dit vir die volle 3 aande huur, aangesien ons ander gaste wegwys vir die lang naweek.

I think we should do this one as a group of friends. No need to be official.

After Mammabeer's post, do you guys think we stick to the Monday....?
I know Ali3n and myself wont be able to do the whole weekend.. as he said, just have to sort out a few small things on the truck before we go on Monday.
BTW, for those who dont know, apparantly the boiling point of Petrol is 95'C

I second that! Just a group of friends - I'll check with the two that I have who wants to come with - Francisco - You coming with?
I still reckon we keep it just for the Monday - It seems the event for the weekend will be packing up and leaving already on the Monday.

Dit is 'n lang trail as mense die heeltyd uitklim en kyk. As jy net ry gaan dit vinnig. Dit hand dan ook af of dit 'n groep vriende is of official want met official is daar papierwerk en en en....
In die geval dink ek ook ons gaan as 'n groep vriende en elke een is verantwoordelik vir homself en geen vinger kan na die tyd na die klub toe gewys word as ons wil speel waar daar plek is nie

Dan ook by gese dit hang ook af van hoeveel voertuie in die groep.
Ek dink as mens op die laatste 09:00 kan weg trek en ons is so 10 voertuie... dan kyk mens na so 15:00 klaar te wees (dit is nou as ek reg onthou) maar dan is mens heel rustig
Will see if we can make it.... depends if my van is ready, got a few things to do to it this december.....

Daar was op 'n stadium 'n issue tussen Moegatle Oord en Moegatle 4x4 en het hulle veskillende ingange gehad. Weet nie of dit intussen op gelos is nie maar hier is waar jy wil in
Die rooi streep begin op die grondpad wat van die R511 af draai (By die bordjie wat wys Dihololo)
Die ingang het weer geskuif na daai kruising toe. Groot skuif hek.
As jy daar in ry, volg jy die grondpad tot by die kroeg/swembad. Sal nounou 'n kiekie pos.
Die hek is by:
S25º 24.123' E27º 43.596'
Die bymekaarkom is by:
S25º 23.743' E27º 43.140'
Grade en Minute
Vir die manne wat nie die GPS ding doen nie.
As jy van Pretoria se kant af deur Brits ry op die R511. Van die kruising af waar die R512 regs uitgaan (Speedy Exhaust), bly jy op die R511 vir 22.2km
Daar draai jy regs op 'n grondpad en hou op hom vir 8.7km.
Links voor jou aan die anderkant van die kruising is 'n groot staal skuifhek.
Gaan daar in en volg die grondpad...maklik.

A group of friends sounds just great. What did you say last time Cassie when we were helping with load the rolled trailer, we are more than just a Club, we are all friends

Ek kan bylas dat jy 'n klein kerkie op jou linkerkant gaan kry net so voor jy van die R511 af draai

Vir Ali3ns....
Probeer "New World" in die Menlyn Sentrum vir 'n redelike prys, maar vir die beste prys kontak "Govan Mani" in die Pavilion sentrum in Durban. Ek is seker hulle courier, en daar's 'n hele paar honderd rand verskil....jou goete is geboek boetie
