Piesangkloof (again) 9 April.
I know the club has been there before, but I like the place.
We are having a little fundraiser for my Autistic son's school in Midrand, and as part of it a group of guys off the Facabook page Gauteng 4x4 Hookups are joining us at Piesangkloof on 9 April.
This is not a Hilux club event, purely a get-together for all and sundry with a slightly elevated entrance fee, the profits going to the school for whatever they might need.
I'm throwing this on here as well, open invitation to all, to come and join us. The Hookups crowd is not bad, fairly wel-behaved, and relatively capable. Not your typical "hold my beer and whatch this" lot.
We will be doing the 3 hour route, with a braai agterwards. Bring your own braai goodies and refreshments. Entrance is R300,00, slightly elevated from the normal R200,00 fee so as to make a bit of profit for the school.
If you are interested in going, start a list below .
(hope this is OK, Mods... ) No probs. Good cause.

Re: Piesangkloof (again) 9 April.
Nice trip this and Mike (the owner) is a great host, for those that have not done this trail it is truly worth it and the views of the Hartebeespoort valley from above are awe inspiring.
Sorry Mickey SWAMBO is getting older on that day but have fun and good luck.

Re: Piesangkloof (again) 9 April.
Hallo Mickey, Ek en Sonja was daar gewees verlede jaar waar jy ook was. Maar vir 'n goeie doel sal ons weer ons gesig wys daar. Probeer die roete so reël dat dit voel ons het dit nog nie gery nie. Sê maar wat ons moet doen met betaling en tyd. Sal goed wees om julle weer te sien. Groete

Re: Piesangkloof (again) 9 April.
Skuus ek kom nou eers terug, Hennie.
Ons wil die trail so teen 9:30 aanpak, so as jul so van 9uur af daar aankom, forms teken ens.
Ons doen die betalings sommer kontant, ek moet in elk geval vir die Mike die indemnity forms gee agterna dan kan hul sien hoeveel voertuie was daar (Mike hulle is nie daar op die dag nie, so ons het die plek vir ons self.)
Aanduidings is dat daar meer as twintig voertuie gaan wees, so ek sal vooraf solank vir 20 voertuie betaal, en die res op die dag sodra ek sien hoeveel van die sowat dertig wat gesê het hul gaan kom wel opdaag.
Ek sal vir hul dan dienooreenkomstig daar en dan 'n eft doen (of dalk bo op die berg as die sein beter is, hehehe) uit my eie rekening vir die uitstaande balans en dan met die skool se boekhouer agterna deur als gaan - ons sal basies 'n lys invul wat elke deelnemer teken sodat die boekhouer tred kan hou met die syfers.
Sal lekker wees om jou en Sonja weer te sien, jy sal die ander ouens se geselskap geniet, meeste van hulle is heel decent, met so paar stout knape tussen in...

Re: Piesangkloof (again) 9 April.
The Jimny's weakpoint is a combination of steep hills, and washed out roads (cross axle holes), and the lack of diff lock.
You need to keep up the revs a bit, and then is just to fast to crawl through the obstacle....
In many many trails I had this issue twice .... One spot at Two Oceans - it was washed out after heavy rains. One short section at Bojaankop.
Hope the guys that know this trail can give you good advise.

Bring the Jimny, we will assist where needed. Really a bunch of nice guys and I was told that Piesangkloof is really not that difficult.

Re: Piesangkloof (again) 9 April.
Jimny will be OK. Those things are more capable than you think, and there are lots of decent blokes who'll gladly play guide where needed. And we treasure our own vehicles, will not let you damage yours either
That being said, all who want to go, please throw me an email at bmcloete9@gmail.com. Then I'll reply with an attachment - the indemnity form for Pieasangkloof. Please complete the form and send back to me. I'll then send it on to Piesangkloof. They need the completed indemnities by the 8th, so please don't sit on it for too long. Also forward to anyone else you might have invited please.
No indemnity, no trail

Re: Piesangkloof (again) 9 April.
Hennie, Rigardt, dankie, ek het jul vorms, alles is reg vir Saterdag so om en by9:00 of 9:30 sodat ons by 10:00 kan begin ry, alhoewel ek uit ondervinding weet party ouens mag dalk laat wees....
Dit lyk of daar darem so amper 20 voertuie gaan wees.
Om dinge so bietjie interessant te maak het twee ouens met hul BMW GS'e ook gevra of hul kan kom saam ry. Hulle is ordentlike mense, gaan nie donuts spin en sulke tjol nie. Ek dink dit gaan interessant wees om te sien of hulle ook die plekke sal kan uitkom met die swaar fietse. Hulle sal nie tussen die voertuie ry nie, maar op hul eie voor of agter die konvooi sodat hul nie inmeng met die 4x4's nie. Piesangkloof se mense het gesê daar was nognie fietse daar op nie, so hul self is nuuskierig om te weet hoe suksesvol dit is...
Sê maar vir die dames ek sal wel 'n campers-porta-potty daar onder die bome in 'n stil kolletjie gaan wegsteeg, ek glo dit sal party van hulle beter laat voel.
Sien julle Saterdag, onthou om goetters saam te bring vir vleisie braai agterna!

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

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!

Dankie Hennie, jy't mooi fotos gekry.
Die dag was lekker, en baie suksesvol. Ons het R3500,00 bymekaargemaak vir die skool danksy almal se bereidwilligheid om so bietjie meer te betaal.
En dankie dat jy voor gery het sodat ek kon tyd hê om die agterosse by te staan!
