I am keen on a number of these including Baboons and the River Trip. However, please advise what you mean by qualifying. Personally, I have been 4x4ing for nearly 2 decades, on standard road tyres at normal inflation and have never got stuck, rolled, acquired any brandewyn flekke, or had to be recovered. If I need to qualify I need to qualify the qualifier and understand by who's and what standards.

I understand the ethos of the group and I subscribe to these wholeheartedly however, please understand that I can do these trips with you guys or without you as the group doesnt have exclusivity on any of these trails.

Guys, having done and lead the first Baboons, initially we had a lot of interest. Now more will want to do it.
Qualifying means,
1)people that show interest in the club,
2) people that is willing to be part of events regularly arranged,
3) People with the correct attitude, safety,
4) Competent vehicle,
5) Committed,,
The sort after events can only accommodate select amount of entries.

Qualifying just means that, on one or two prime events. priority will be given to members in good standing.

The guys who only attend an event every year or so can go to the back of the queue...
