This space is for the top half of the country. I've made it like this because most of us could make trips to either Magalies, or Parys, Mpumalanga, Northern/Southern Drakensburg, North/South coast.
For now, we're provisionally going to Hennops on 26 feb- Please start putting your names down.
Laters.

Hi Guys.
I'm in for Hennops. My check engine light might illuminate the way, but if Ari can do it with 3 wheels, I can do it all a glow.
Thats how I roll...

Hey Ari It's not all doom and gloom. Spencer has indicated that he is more than willing to join. You should also PM Steriods and Kosie - I am sure they would like a get together. Hercules could also be an option if he sorted his Lada. Give them a call - I am sure they will be there Regards Marius PS - why don't you guys PM all the Gauteng members that you know?

Hi We will be going to Hennops on 26 Feb at 11:00 - +-16:00 or later we can see how it goes. There are no other costs as far as LOCSA is concerned. We meet up for a chat, do some mild 4x4ing and have a braai afterwards. Everyone brings their own meat, drink and Lada and we will supply some chips,rolls,salad etc. GPS COORDINATES Hennops Offroad Trail S 25°47.490’ E 27°58.912’ Map www.hennops.co.za/contactus/map.aspxIf you can't see the map use the link below and the map is under " Contact Us" www.hennops.co.za/Home.aspxHow it works Booking is not essential but you are welcome to use our online booking service. Gates open at 8:30 and close strictly at 17:00. The trail is a self drive trail that is about 9km long and takes about 2-3 hours to complete, depending on how busy it is. Entrance fee is R180 per vehicle which includes 4 persons, additional visitors will be charged R45 per adult and R20 for children under the age of 12. Unfortunately we do not have any credit card facilities available and due to fraud cheques are not accepted. Starting off The trail has a 2 (low-range required but suitable for first timers) – 4 (technical trail for the experienced) grading. The layout of the trail is in such a way that you will be able to take a detour should you wish to avoid an obstacle. Please ensure that your vehicles hubs are locked if they are not automatically locked. We recommend deflating your tyres to 1 bar or as indicated by your 4wd training instructor. Unfortunately we don’t have air available to inflate your tyres so you should either bring a compressor or go to the petrol garage which is about 4km from the entrance gate. On the trail you will find axle twisters, rocky climbs, declines, dongas and mud-holes. We do need to leave something for the imagination so let’s not elaborate more on the obstacles. You can expect to see herds of Zebra, Blou Wildebeest, Blesbok and Impala together with a wide variety of bird life and smaller animals along the trail. Also look out for the Zonkies. Ari PS I hope to see some people there. ;D
