Hi Anton,
Great to have you with us, also, if you have a protable braai, can you bring it along, as well as your camping chairs etc.
See you there.

Ok,
I have a gas braai and campware. Will have it there.
See you on Sunday.
Anton

Hi Anton,
Can't wait,
Tell me, you've done this trail before / a few times?,
Will you be able to lead us into battle?

Ned,
Nope, sorry. I,ve only done Damon, The Oaks, Klipbokkop (sand route) and a few "informal" routes. Experience very limited to dangerous... I'd rather be the tail gunner!
There are guys in the group with muuuuuuuch more experience!
Maybe we must flip a coin between the guys who have done 10+ trails and those who put up their hands?

The tail gunner is the sucker with the second most experience, and requires a radio
I'm happy to lead but with the understanding I have never done this trail. I prefer watching other people screwing up their lines, rather than being a lesson in how not to do it

Bwahahaha!!!
Shows you my lacking experience! In that case, I'll be in the middle somewhere!

Nino,
Aslam (Blister) ChrisB, NightFighter, colinken and ghost_traffic also have 3.5's. It will be interesting to compare notes on experiences.

Hi Anton
Yes, I know & have been on a couple of one day trips with Blister. Even got the opportunity to try his powerful 3.5 V6. LOTS OF GUTS. I guess that was a contributing factor in considering the same variant.
Well........ can't wait
