Ok The Boss has spoken. Wish list moer toe.
But before he wields the axe......

Craig's suggestion is good and that then applies to long weekend events only.

Then we need to decide the amount of one week plus events that can be accommodated by most.
I would say 2 to 3?

I like how you guys assume we only cater for Members living in JHB & PTA.
We also need events for members living in the other 9 provinces.
There are not as many as the GP folk - but we still need an event or two they can potentially attend...

I am into doing trips in other provenances as we do not get to do often, due to my work commitments I need to know that I can arrive late at night at times which can be an issue.

I would rather see places I have never visited than ones I have never been to before.

http://www.africanivoryroute.co.za/wp-c ... -SA4x4.pdf

there is a route in the SA4x4 mag of December 2014 as well, which seems a little shorter and can be done in a weekend.
