Who would be interested in going for a day trip around 16 June or any other day? 25/26 June 2011
Was thinking off Babylonstoren, Waterval, Honingklip - We basically decided on Waterval

Babylonstoren we can get toegther at my place for a braai afterwords,
Waterval (Outside Porterville) we can stay over/camp for the weekend
Honingklip (outside Botrivier) - new trail, looks like fun

Any other suggestions?

There is a trail on the farm itself as well. The above one is 30km from the site. Do we do both or just one?
Will confirm trail cost as soon as the people answer

The list
JBeez and family - Arrive on Saturday and camp for the night


Let's start a list

Hi jbeez

Count me in, but.....
any chance to postpone by one week? :roll:

I'm only returning to SA on the 15th.

I'm away on leave that week.

A day-trip on a later date may be fine.

But there are enough guys in the W/Cape to make for a good turn-up.

Marcuskraal seems like a good idea, let us know what date you are looking at. I would still like to do Babylonstoren or someplace else closeby for a day trip

OK,

Marcuskraal How about Last Week-end of July.

I'm thinking from a rain-fall point of view this would be the best time for us to go.

For June / Closeby, what about Outrekpad.

This was a planned event Lst year September that looked/sounded promising & fun, but in the end, only 2 or 3 guys could make it, and what pics were posted it WAS a lot of fun.

My Vote would be for Outrekpad. :twisted:

Edit: Actually, I'll swing my vote to Babylonstoren, for an overnight stay.

OK Jbeez,

You arranging Babylonstoren then (Week-end of 24th June preferrably)
you'll already have 3 other Pajeros joining you (as I'm sure Aslam will also join us so far)

Then I'll get the thread going for Marcuskraal for end of July. ;)
