A very successful day. We managed to clear the entire track!
Usually we only manage most of either the main track, or the Beyond The Bridge section.
But today, we cleared every last inch - no mean feat after the recent rains.

This was the 3rd time AntonB & I have had a clean up day.
This was the 1st one where other Club members arrived to support us.

Anton & I also brought two workers each which helped a lot.

In the end the attendees were:

1. Manny 4x4AG
2. AntonB 4x4AG
3. MartinDJ 4x4AG
4. Johannes14 4x4AG
5. TGWInduna 4x4AG
6. Juan Paul
8. Arno B
+ 4 hired workers...

I'd like to thank everyone who pitched, special thanks to Johannes14 who had already swung his Brush Cutter for 30 minutes before we arrived & continued to swing it into the afternoon.
MartinDJ couldn't do much chopping, cutting & panga swinging due to a pending shoulder procedure, but he drove the entire route in his lockerless Jimny.
BTW Martin did the 2nd half (Which I call 'Beyond the Bridge' but Anton calls it the 'Extreme Section' ) on his own. A first.
Remember, the main issue with that track is disuse.
TGWIndunda arrived in his Flash Disco 5 SVR & did some of the track - first D5 to do it.
AntonB & his son Arno, Juan Pierre & I, plus the4 workers, finally left at 15:30.

We have a group of 15 vehicles going through next Saturday - they are in for a treat!!!

Johannes, you worked harder than I & I'm feeling a bit sore - so I'm not surprised...
