Ultimate Trail Master - List of Cinquenta (50) Conquistadors

[BushWacker]

When we got to the top of MacDui, we sipped a gin or two ensure the sun sank...so then it was quite another trail down...

... as Hansie would say :
' ... the Devil made me MacDui ... '

[Jaco Jeep RIP]

I did 3 Provinces 3 times.
Each time I did it I did the Waterfall & Hels Hoogte.
I've also done the other two trails on the farm.

Other people go to 3P, only do the Mountain trail & skip Waterfall & HelsHoogte.

Do I count 3P as 4 trails (1. Mountain Route, 2. Waterfall & HH, + 3 & 4 the other two trails)?




I've done Moegatle many times, most times I do everything, Ou Ryperd etc. (I just skip Klipdrift) & I often do Koos Se Klim
Others go there, do the easy part of the trail & skip the klim - should I then get 3 credits for Moegatle?

The rules are clear: A VENUE COUNTS ONCE...

Getting recovered at Hells hoogte does not count Manny, you did not finish, capice

A venue counts once

I am updating my list , since Sandturion 4x4 was my 90th,
End April we crossed the Limpopo over 3700km's but it does not count since it was a mix of tar, gravelled and sand. We went as far as Crook's corner.
91) My 91st we stayed three nights totally of the grid on Solar.
92) We recently completed the 3 day DVR trip, an awesome trip,
93) We stayed three nights on the mountain and totally off grit.

By now I'm sure we do have a few new guys creeping closer to 50

On my last trip I was a bit lazy. We travelled and criss crossed the Mountain Zebra National Park. They have three declared 4*4 routes, So this is my no 94.

Kevin, #10 is not valid, only border crossings leaving count, not returning, Camping, like at Kyleu, only counts if it is 3+ consequetive nights. If you camp for 1 or 2 nights it doesn't count. .

Please update your list, but you should be close to 59 regardless....
