4x4 or Web wheeling?
Is there still a 4X4 club or has it changed to a bunch of web braggers? Just testing ......................................?????????????????????????????????????///
In the past there used to be some arrangement to GTG at least monthly for a day of 4x4 day for the local Gauteng, or northern guys, yes I'm not including the capies who seem to be going well with day/weekend outings, but since the YEF at Heidelberg NOTHING has happened except loads of pics with upgrades and mods and and and .......... My gat jeuk om te ry, dis hoekom ek 'n 4x4 gekoop het, maar die klub (forum) promofeer niks en as mens privaat opdaag weet of erken niemand jou affilasie met die klub nie ( en ja mods, ek is nou net 'n forum lid, hoekom moet ek my lidmaatskap betaal om op 'n forum te wees wat nie 'n enkele GTG in 3 maande kan reel nie!
Ek het laas jaar September by De Wildt gery,Dit was seker een van die lekkerste 4x4 uitstappies met die meeste mense tesame wat ek nog ooit beleef het.Die gees onder manne en vroue en organiseerders/borge was so lekker dat ek gedink het dit sal nie lank neem vir die volgende een om gereel te word nie.
Sal ook graag wil weet wat gaan aan. Sover ek van weet is daar nie n jaar program uitgereik van 4x4 roetes wat die jaar gery gaan word nie.
Ja ek stem saam Lollie. Al die uitstappies wat ek saam hul gedoen het was great en profesioneel!!
Het bly hoop die genoemde rhino park uitstappie in feb sou gebeur... Maar toe ok nie.
Selfs die raffles was pret op n stadium. Maar dinge het gou stil geraak
Jy moet die facebook blad ook probeer.
Daar is baie mense wat nie op die forum is nie wat uitgaan op roetes DAAR bo by julle
Hier in die Kaap probeer ons elke maand iets reel onder mekaar op die forum.
Dis gewoonlik dieselfde gesigte, maar dit bly pret

Ja en ek moet erken dis nie net die mods se job om goed te reel nie. Hul besig genoeg. Enigiemand wat erens gaan enndie kans sien v reelings tref kan iets begin en mense sal saam inval. Dis daai eerste stap. Ek kyk ok maar altyd rond op ander forums ok wie gaan waar en wie kan ek join. Al isndit dan nie n formele klub aktiwiteit nie. Naweek weer n paar nice ouens by mabalingwe so ontmoet...
Hi guys, it seems like the current EC's up your way are having some difficulty coping with events at the moment for various reasons.
So we're looking for anyone who would like to jump in and organise an outing - Neil (Thunder02) might not be able to attend at this stage but is available for assistance in organising. I think the same might be the case with Quentin since he has just lost his Lux to affirmative shopping. If there's some way I can help from this end, just give me a shout.
(Since this thread is already on topic, we can use it for suggestions and organising the next one.)
I must say, on the facebook group there's a lot of activity, with a 4x4hookups type thing going also by Thinus Rautenbach (BlackAdder?)
It's not club related and everyone is welcome, specifically other brands, in an effort to rid the guys of that childish brand-bashing business. It's cool, and I went to one at de Wildt, and it was great fun with nice guys, BUT:
I'd love to go to a meet with the club guys, the original guys who got me into buying a 4x4 even though I'd never met any of them.
(Frankly, the club guys are WAY more decent than a lot of the FB folk.
But Thys is working hard, with some success, at civilising that lot too.)
I haven't been on a trail in over year....
Got a bit bored bored with de Wildt & Hennops & the like...
How about "At se gat" ? Sounds like a nice trail
Wie se gat!!???? Set it up Stef!

Nou praat ons.
Wanneer laas was ons by Berakah? Ek sal offer om 'n GTG te reel as ek bystand kan kry van die manne wat dit al gedoen het.
Tue Mar 17, 2015 8:18 am
Mooi so Wayne, bystand sal jy kry!
Stel 'n paar datums voor, laat ons sien wat pas die manne en wie belang stel. Ek skuif dan intussen hierdie thread na "Gauteng Events".
Is daar iets in Natal???
maybe Three Provinces for a weekend away
mcw wrote: Hi Wayne
Kan ons begin met datums,
25 April - Long weekend (kan werk vir 3 provinces)
2 May - Long weekend (kan werk vir 3 provinces)
Anders kan ons 'n dag trip doen na Berakah
Tue Mar 17, 2015 9:21 am
1 May Martin and Louisa
I will arrange a GTG for April, but need some assitance. Any dates that would be good for you guys. I saw some put up the 18 April is that good?

Johan as you are the EC (is ek nou reg ) you can take te lead, I will be glad to assist you
Tue Mar 17, 2015 9:52 am
Ok cool, thanks man. So what did some of the guys have in mind?
3 provinces was suggested, I'm sure that will have to be an overnight trip.
I suggested Berakah

Ons was laasmaand by 3 provinsies en dit was die mooiste roete en views wat ek nog gedoen het!!! Absoluut die moeite werd

Would like to add the mcarthy rhino park to the list of day outings. Always wanted to do this one... Not sure why though. Maybe because you cant go unless you are more than 5 cars and pre arranged...
Why not arrange a day trip for the short term (in the next two weeks or so) and get the 3 provinces on the board for about 5 to 6 weeks down the line - a weekend outing will take a bit longer to organise.

From what I could gather after the last official club outing at Berakah in 2013 the trail has been roughened up (some nature and some not maintained 110%) and some places is a tyre chewing haven due to being very rocky and lots of loose underground.
Also a big issue for me on the trail is that there is not really escape routes on the rougher sections and thus you cannot try the easy first and come back and then try the more challenging section if you want to.
Also from a point of view as where a lot of people might join in on this with very little or even no experience in 4x4 driving I would say this is a outing for the seasoned driver only rather getting newbies to join in on what can end up in a mishap.
I haven't driven this particular trail since then but I am for one that is not keen on having very possible tyre damage on my Prado, so I will be sitting this one out due to not wanting to damage my vehicle or my pocket. I am aware that there is other members here that also share this point of possible tyre damage.
I still need to learn my new vehicle's offroad handling and how it wants to be driven on 4x4 trails so I'll be taking risks that can be avoided as this trail is to an extent technical and one wrong and you can damage your vehicle badly.
I personally is opting for a day out at basslake where there is from soft roader trail that starts off easy, to technical climbs that challenge most respectable 4x4's. Also most places there is usually a fair amount of parking and spectating space at most obstacles from reasonable safe distances. Having done one Fundi Marshalling challenge there you can really almost cater for most driver skill and vehicle's.
Its not a car breaker but its a great refreshing trail to drive to get back into the groove with your vehicle before tackling more difficult trails.
Its just my R5 worth of comment.

I agree with Johan.Berakah is a nice trail but not a easy one.I damage 2 of my mags and get cuts on the side walls of my tyres with my last visit.
Even if not for this advertised event. Looks like a nice exclusive venue. Can only book as a 4x4club. No public or day visitors. Even for camping. Leeuwenkloof.
Daai kiekies van Kobus by 3provinces spreek hard en luid met my siel.
Ek stem vir 3 provinces so einde April, begin Mei.
Ek bring my vrou en my 2 man tent. (altwee vir my eie gebruik).
Hel kêrels, wat meer wil 'n mens hê, ver van die stad, pragtige wêreld, lekker knoppe om oor te ry, goeie geselskap...

Julle sal nie spyt wees nie...Sal net n paar warm goedjies moet saamvat. Ek glo dit raak al lekker koud daar in die aande tussen die berge..
Smaak my ek het julle ouens nou lis gemaak vir die 3 provinsies
Wed Mar 18, 2015 7:38 pm
Ja nee Kobus.Wat het jy nou gemaak.Almal is op hol
Ek het daai plek gaan Google.
Ek gaan, en as ek alleen moet gaan dan is dit julle verlies. Moet nog net datums bespreek met my vrou....
en haar toestemming vra...

My pel wat saam met my daar gaan ry het, het een van daai R300 dashcam joppies. Als goed en wel hy werk en daar gat ons. Als record mooi en ons kanie wag om by die huis te kyk nie want n foto gee nie rerig die skaal van n ding nie.
Hy kry toe later n brianwave toe ons in die "tonnel" inry om die ding op die grond te laat le terwyl ons al drie voertuie oor n klipbank ry. Hy staan toe mooi en kyk sodat niemand oor die ding ry nie. Nou moet ons net kyk hoe dit uitgekom het.......
Toe hy hom optel hoor hy 'n beep geluid en die ding restart weer....O Sh..t...
NIks het daarvan record nie en ons sal mar weer by die huis kyk.Record maar verder...By die huis gekom en Sondag kom haal hy die Memory kaart by my nadat ek nog nie kans gehad het om te kyk nie.......
Hy laat weet my toe later......NIKS HET RECORD NIE BEHALWE TOE ONS TERUGRY EN WEER OP DIE TEERPAD KLIM VOLKSRUST TOE OPAD HUISTOE
Nooit weer nie..ekt gister vir my 'n Eagle Eye by oom Eric bestel
Thu Mar 19, 2015 8:30 am
Memory kaart op daai outjies is nie te groot nie en hulle begin redelik vinnig overwrite. Met my ook al gebeur.
Daarvoor het jy een van die nodig:

Die Dash Cams het nie veel van 'n 'battery life' op hulle eie nie.

At s'n ....
Trail about 10km outside Brits...not advised after heavy rains apparently. Saw it on the telly...can't remember now if it was on Tumi's show or Safari 4x4 with "lae bestek"
See there is something planned for the 18th already, but we can certainly make a plan
Apparantly this trial is especially more challenging for the long wheel base vehicles... He shorties seem to have more fin there for the pics and comments on other forums...

Hy het een van daai 12v sealed lead acid bat. wat mens in hekmotors kry. Die ding het so megafter bo-op met n female lighter plug waar mens 12v ligte kan inplug. Die battery pas dan mooi in n sakkie wat hy oor die skouer hang. Die dashcam hardloop leke lank op daai battery maar net bietjie ongemaklik. Werk ook lekker as jy uit die voertuig klim om die omgewing rondom jou ook af te neem op n roete en nie net reg voor jou nie......
Ek sal saam jou berakah kom ry... Kort bietjie iets moeiliker...
