... how about :
the Old Rail Formation Track road near and alongside Van Reenans Pass and starting somewhere near the Green Lantern ... ?
Folk like Joannes, Fluffy and DVR etc evidently did it some years ago .

That should be quite easy now. Wait till it rains.

The old Wagon trails eg in the Cape also seem to be interesting routes ?

OK here is the FINAL list (not one suggestion from the Western Cape - which is to be expected).
I have put who will be arranging, or assisting with arranging, next to the trip...
* Northern KZN trip - (Paul) *** Northern KZN
* Botswana X
* Baboons Pass - (Committee)
* River Trip - (Committee)
* Trip to Kosi Bay/Ponta Do Ouro - (Geoff/Quack) *** Northern KZN
* Passes trip (passes around Lesotho a la Ben Ten) - (Committee)
* Baviaanskloof - (Committee)
* Battlefields - (HenriS)
* Transkei Trip - (Quack)
* iSimangaliso Wetland Park *** Northern KZN
* Baviaans and Addo
* 3 Provinces - (Committee)
* Ivory Route - including Mafefe 4x4 route, with Wolkeberg/Soutpansberg (Hedgehog)
* KZN Parks Mkuze Ndumo Ithala Hlulhluwe Isimango *** Northern KZN
* Swaziland and parks
* Old Rail Formation Track - (Bushwacker) X (I can't find info on this???)
* Namib Dunes - (Grips) X
18
Unfortunately we can only add 10 to a poll, so we need to thin the list down from 18 to 10...
THE NEXT STEP IS TO WHITTLE 8 OF THOSE ON THE LIST AWAY.
Your suggestions on which ones should fall, please.
I say Botswana & Namibia should be removed.
Great trips - but not for Club arranged trips.

You can combine quite a few of the KZN trips into one “northern KZN” trip, everything mentioned is around the same area. That will get you close to 10....
I agree on removing Botswana and Namibia for club arranged trips.

I agree with Kurt. Was just about to post a similar reply.
Would the battle fields trip be in KZN or more the Free State area?

I've marked the northern KZN trips thusly *** Northern KZN so they can be combined...
That leaves 15.
13 if we remove Bos & Nam.
So only need to whittle 3 more off...

Isnt the Wolkberg just part of Soutpansberg ?
... if not explain ...
I see the Soutpansberg range seems to end at the Blouberg ...
I like all those ranges/areas ...

Can I remove the Old Rail Formation Track - (Bushwacker) because I can't find info on this?
