Hilux4x4.co.za W-Cape Spring Trail - 12/09/09 Tierkloof

ThysdJ · Post by **ThysdJ** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 1:14 pm

As the Hilux4x4.co.za Club we haven't yet had an opportunity to arrange a formal Club event in the Western Cape yet. How about we do a nice trail early in September to celebrate the arrival of spring in our fair part of the world, as well as an inaugural Spring Trail outing.

We can do it on the weekends of 5 or 12 September 2009. My suggestion for a trail is already listed on the poll, but any other suggestions will be welcomed and added for other members to vote on.

Come let's make it a trail to remember!

Voor ek raas kry dat ons nie op die soort versoeke reageer nie.

Dit sal in die selfde pay maand wees as ons 29/08 trip en ek sal net een trip in die maand kan doen.

Gaan geniet die trip manne.

Jammer ek kan nie saam nie. Ek/ons gaan albei die naweke en die week tussen in toer tussen Knysna en Knysna. Uit Knysna oor Phantompas en dan 7 Passe pad , dan Montaguepas en Perdepoort tot in Oudtshoorn en vandaar oor Swartbergpas tot in Prince Albert. Daarvanandaan via Middelwater en Meiringspoort na De Rust. Vanaf De Rust met agterpaaie na Uniondale en vanaf Uniondale via Prins Albertpas terug tot in Knysna.
Die rede hoekom ons 'n week vat is omdat ons dit met bergfietse ry. Die Lux is darem backup vehicle !

Tierkloof, 12 September, sounds good

Will have to confirm closer to the time though, but a prelim YES from me.

What's the protocol for this type of thing? Kids? Wives? Food? etc..

It is a family day, so please bring your wife and kids if you feel like it, or bring a few mates if your wife does not feel like it.

Food, there usually are some guys who have a braai and a few frosties afterwards, but pack snacks/sandwiches etc to eat during the day. Also pack cooldrinks and water for the trail as I am not going to allow alcohol to be consumed while we are driving. There will be no debate about it. Drinks afterwards when we are all back at "base camp".

Sal graag meer wil weet waar die roete is ??
Is dit net dag roete of kan ons naweek daarvan maak, kamp , ens.??

5 Sept pas my beter , maar sal ook 12 Sept saam gaan.
Lourens

ThysdJ · Post by **ThysdJ** » Fri Aug 07, 2009 9:25 am

Lourens.

Die roete is net tussen Rawsonville en Worcester reg langs die Brandvlei dam. Daar is kamp fasiliteite by die roete, en die vorige keer toe ons die roete gedoen het het George, Suidwes en 'n paar ander 'n naweek daarvan gemaak en dit vreeslik geniet. Die roete bied genoeg uitdaging, met 'n paar lekker speelplekke waar die wiele hoog gelig kan word. Oorwegend bestaan die roete uit klipperige oppervlak op die bergpaadjies, en daar is ook 'n lekker dik sanderige stuk wat baie ouens lekker laat sukkel.

Ons sien uit daarna om jou daar te sien!.

Ek sal dit nie die 12de kan maak nie al bly ek in Worcester! Dit is Gymkana by ons Mall en ons is een van die borge!

Daar is nog 'n 4x4 byeenkoms hier die naweek van die 5de September! Dink dis Badsberg Wynkelder wat dit reel!

En in November is die Boere Vereneging se 4x4 ! Die datum is nog nie bekend nie, maar sal nader aand die tyd in kennis stel!

This route is so tame even a 4Y with a broken engine-mounting and shredded cooling fan can outperform a 6-pot on it.

O ja AND Niel's KZTE did it too. You're more than welcome, looking forward to having you along with us Soutie...

Seriously... I'm not sure if I'm in, I said yes when I thought Dadz wouldn't be fit for Service on the 29th Trail, nou it's looking otherwise.

Family 1st enol (and finances, petrol on the up again nê)

Tierkloof is a smashing Trail and one shouldn't worry about the weather; it was one of last year's Bridgestone Night Drive venues and a mate of mine told me that there was a flippin river running down the main Trail and still everyone completed it and they all had a jolly nice time. If I can squeeze it in I'll be chuffed as it was damned hot last time we went which ain't too lekker in an Aircon-less Lux

A great venue guys a nice choice by Oom Thys as the 1st Official WC Club Trail

I am thinking with all the responses so far being in favour of 12 Sept as a date for this trail, we peg it as the official date. There is no reason why the family should be unhappy, they are welcome to join in as it is meant to be a family outing anyway.

The list of attendees are (provisionally, tentatively, subject to change) :

1. ) Coenie Rot
2. ) Hentey
3. ) Thys
4. ) Richard (if you can make up your mind)
5. ) Wacky
6. ) Noob
7. ) Rooikappie (if you bring your family)
8. ) Jan Smith
9. ) Martin Swifty
10.) Bretton Snipes (if you can get direction)
11.) Harold (if you are in the vicinity)
12.) Leon AC
13.) Leon Olckers Wolffie
14.) PietPetoors

Not too shabby Nige...

The AAWDC Cape family fun day is happening on the same weekend as this trail. Read here: viewtopic.php?f=112&t=7955 . This is for paid up Hilux4x4.co.za Club members only.

If you are interested to do the Fun Day in stead of the Teirkloof Trail, please indicate so on the poll and we decide which event we will attend. I am open to either outing, although the Fun Day is going to be more competitive than the Tierkloof outing which is going to be a "leisurely drive " in comparison.

Each Club must enter 7 vehicles (before 31 Aug) and each club must marshal one obstacle (2 to 3 persons)

King Rat · Post by **King Rat** » Thu Aug 20, 2009 4:37 pm

Which reminds me, I'll need to become a paid up member! Then either will be fun.

Hi guys
Just a small one.
What recovery equipment do i need as a minimum. Just starting out and still learning the ropes.

cheers

wacky · Post by **wacky** » Mon Aug 24, 2009 10:01 pm

seeing that more than 10 vehicles is going I dont think u need recovery equipment.most of them ( I think ) are equipped.basically u need recovery points on your vehicle thats all..if u need recovery equipment first thing to get is a snatch strap.hi-lift jack.m2cw

ThysdJ · Post by **ThysdJ** » Tue Aug 25, 2009 7:39 am

Own recovery equipment is a required, otherwise you can buy mine and it is just good manners to bring your own stuff.

The bare essentials would be rated recovery points, kinetic/tow strap and maybe a hi-lift jack.

wolffie02 · Post by **wolffie02** » Tue Aug 25, 2009 8:19 am

Thanx guys.

will make sure to have the needed in the vechicle.
Now to get the snatch strap any good place to buy or specific model/type/make?

will get jack from map&trail this weekend and hopefully some place to mount the jack points????
just standard bull bar infront of Hilux but i am lifted quite high (swambo needs running start and trampoline )to get in hehehehehe

Wacky, normally I dont have a problem with inviting "non-club-members" but this is a Club event, and we need to know how the rest of the guys feel. In this case we said we would allow Forum members as well, so if Robin signs up as a Forum member, I see no reason why he can't join us.
