Camping:
If you want to camp - please book directly with Moegatle.
They do have some permanent tents with beds - you just take your own bedding.

[CharlesFowlds]

Paid. Well I should probably remove the stock sidestep sometime? Will this be possible on these obstacles?

[Mad Manny]

Charles, Moegatle is a Terror Trail.
Try fit Rock Sliders before the event.

Cornell dug up a video by ZR6SGN (Steve Nuns) of a Moegatle Trip I arranged in 2012.

Enjoy!

Now you need to do it in the Paptrill...

[Chris Stoffel]

Manny! Manny! Manny!

If you go steep downhill do you apply handbrake and footbrake?
Please advice.

Regards.
Chris.

[Mad Manny]

On that obstacle I pull the handbrake up a notch or two.
Use Low 1.
Feather the brake.

I dont have HDC.
Low 1 is waaaaay too fast.

But the big fear is breaking too hard and stalling (Fearless is manual).
Because if you stall - you are in deep kak meneer...

[Chris Stoffel]

Why not go down on your brakes alone? Neutral plus brakes?

[Mad Manny]

What if the brakes fail or fade Chris?
What if you panic, brake too hard and start sliding?
In fact, sliding on the brakes alone is almost guaranteed...

[Anthony Forgey]
