Hi Coastal Neighbors,
I'll be visiting my folks on the weekend of the 21st June in Mossel Bay, any locals doing any trails that weekend that I can possibly join on the Saturday morning (22nd)?

The FWDC has an event the weekend just before that, but I am sure we can make a plan for a quick play, perhaps Moordkuyl its nice and central.

Sounds good Jean. I'll send a message closer the time to confirm. Thanks.

Ross, it will nice to see you in our home "country"!

I didn't take a lot of photos but here are a few:
The 3.5v6 Triton was made for sand:
Suzuki surprised everyone again, making the long dune twice:
As well as other places where some newer vehicles struggled:
We missed the best camera man in the Southern Cape (Cobus) so you must excuse the poor pics.

We had to do the trail guided, which meant we had a lot of people we didn't know do the trail with us.
It was interesting to see stubbornness and panicking complicating the day.
What happened to stop assess and then continue? Not just drive hysterically until something brakes?

It was a nice outing, just a pity of the large group. I was last in the group and spent lots of time ... waiting. But then everything was nicely churned up for the Suzuki
Just breezed thru the soft sand.
I can also say that my Maxxis tyres can handle 0.2bar in the sand. No problems whatsoever. Must add that Suzuki only weighs 800kg and torque not so high as other vehicles. Maybe that is why they stay on.
Jean is sold on the V6 Triton. It just breezes thru the course. And Jean omitted the most important news...he did the long dune in ... 4 x 2. Way to go softroadertjie!!
He couldn't repeat the feat since 1965Landy churned up the track with his Amarok going backwards up the dune. Left some holes...
The following link is of Suzuki doing the dune.

Hehe, thanks Prof, ek wou net nie te windgat geklink het nie
Kan dit self nog nie glo nie, maar die muds op 0.5 agter werk soos 'n bom.

Hoor so ietsie en sit en kyk of julle gaan ry, maar sien en hoor verder niks. Het gister heeldag leeg gelê so sou gekom het as julle gesê het dis nou aan.
2013/05/19, 09:59 PM #172
soft roadertjie skop heeltyd die spoor in sy mmm so dan maak ek gate Ek het die speel baie geniet ouens, dankie!

Dankie aan almal vir 'n lekker dag. Was my 2de trail en eerste keer op sand en het dit vreeslik geniet. Sal beslis weer gaan. Het baie geleer uit my eie foute en deur die ander manne dop te hou. Kan darem ook nou se ek het die lang duin gemaak met die ou mall cruiser.
Was baie beindruk met die Tritons en prof se ou Suzuki het my vrou laat besluit sy soek ook een. Maar in my noob opinie was daar maar mense wat meer geld as common sense het. Hulle het die dag nogal interessant gemaak

Sounds good Prof. Looking forward to it. Was there a new Ford Ranger in that huge group on Saturday?
2013/05/20, 02:41 PM #175
There was a Ford Ranger 3.2D with 18" wheels. See post#173. It is in two photos posted.

Eduard sorry man ek het nie besef/goed genoeg geluister, dat dit jou tweede trail was nie.
Onthou my volgende keur dan sal ek bietjie meer moeite doen en verduidelik hoekom ek wat waar doen ens.
2013/05/20, 06:13 PM #177
Ditto op daai een. Kom join ons weer...gou!
En as jy vrou Suzuki "laaik", kan sy enige tyd 'n toets rit doen. Jislaaik sy sou dit geniet het om in die sand te ry!
2013/05/20, 06:15 PM #178
O ja, enige advies is op eie risiko en op die basis van doen wat ek se en nie wat ek doen nie
2013/05/21, 08:20 AM #179
Dankie ouens, waardeer enige hulp en tips. keian en sy seun (Wit Triton Saterdag) was darem ook op altwee roetes agter my met raad en bystand.
Sal beslis weer terug gaan sodat Nicole ook die lang duin kan aanvat en om bietjie meer te eksperimenteer tussen Hi en Low range.
Moet een of ander tyd die mall cruiser se skokbrekers vervang so wil dan iets soos 'n EFS kit opsit om die hoogte te verbeter. Het dit baie nodig. Enige ander voorstelle?
