Meetup and route details
Date : 7 June 2024
Time : 9:30 Am
Meetup Point : Alzu Petro Port
https://maps.app.goo.gl/3Jdq4Tzfq8nTcVGr7

We will be taking an adventure route through some very scenic places.
Expected travel time from Alzu to Numbi Hotel via the adventure route is around 5hours.

There is a possibility that we could encounter a closed gate on the route that will require us to back track a little bit and then follow a secondary Adventure route.

Below I have included both routes.

Adventure Route 1.

Yip

Chameleon
Tiny Tiger
And
Mantis

We're late for the last bit of the Challenge
We drove floating and felt like drifting through some corners from God's Window back to Numbi Hotel

This Morning returning home I said to Barend I don't know ow how we got these 3 Vehicles through that Pass and turns

But Tiny Tiger turned out a Very Versatile Vehicle all rounder

I did not gone out of 2H the whole trip
And enjoyed every bit of Gravel we did.

Driving the whole trip in the back as sweeper meant Tiny Tiger ate 5 vehicles dust
This caught up yesterday as dirt eventually got through the Air filter and obviously clogged the Accelerator pump jet fuel passages

Croozing was ok but starting and getting the engine to re-up was a bit of a struggle this morning
But I blown out the Airfilter at Schoemans aloof Viva Garage
And Managed home croosing 100-112km/h GPS

Will strip the carb tomorrow at the Workshop and clean it properly

No other mechanical issues for first extra long drive for Tiny Tiger

And not the Last

Pierre, lyk na n awesome trip, en hoe Doen die nuwe engin?

Yes Marthin
Trip was awesome
Jy het uit remiss

Die 4y is nie n race engine
But gives me high way driving 105km/h GPS that I did not have
And the more torq is close to the previous Crawler gears

But overall I'm enjoying Tiny Tiger now
