Re: WC Christmas GTG - Helderberg - December 5th
Was great joining you today. Sorry I had to leave early, but I still had some other commitments. Will post some pics tomorrow after I resized them.

En vir die paar Souties wat daar was, die meeste van ons was Afrikaanssprekend :twisted:

To the organizers and fellow Pajero owners,
Thanks again for a superb day - everything went off very well and without mishaps (except dropping my s/s exhaust end :lol: ). I'm grateful to the person who "picked up after me".

I hope you all enjoyed the outing as much as I did, and that we should try to "routinely" organize similar events (maybe on a bi-monthly/quarterly basis).
My sincerest thanks to the "organizers and movers", who made the GTG possible. Your efforts can only galvanize the rest (myself included), to make a constructive effort, and to do "OUR" share. I'll avail myself, when present, to take as many photos of any event attended.

I feel all were made very welcome (SAFSARI & LANDBRUISER included). I also admit, the "little gremlin on the shoulder" was hoping a Pajero could have come to the "RESCUE" :twisted: :twisted:

My thanks also to the sponsor/s, who added that little "pudding" to the pleasant outing.

Till next GTG.
Nino 62 (aka: Achille)
Ps.....I'll be posting the photos taken, on the forum, as soon as enhanced.

Re: WC Christmas GTG - Helderberg - December 5th
Thanks to everyone that attended, even the troll and cruzer :)

It was nice to meet all the guys, and it was good to see the novices enjoy their vehicles. The Boomslang had it's teeth removed. I was speaking to a guy last night who did it in the rain and everyone who attempted it had to be winched out.

My co-pilot, Tomas had a great time.

As i said, it has it's teeth removed before we got there. It is relatively innocuous but required a second attempt from me because I got my line wrong. In the wet it becomes extremely slippery, and unfortunately once you're in you're in and you are forced to do the uphill climb. I would guess it's a 30% slope.

The trail is rated 2-4 with the 4 being when wet.
