Carnage Canyon - Limpopo

[Mad Manny]

I don't know how many people here know about Carnage Canyon.
A few Club members have done it (SAXJ, Panda etc).

Basically, you do not get a tougher trail, except maybe Letsele Pass.

Carnage is 6.2km long.
It takes 2 days.
The last 200m can take 2 hours.

Ideally you need:
An SFA 4x4 with decent lift, 33" or 35" tyres & support.

I'm toying with the idea of arranging a 4x4 AG outing there next year.
A few guys with the right vehicle do the route.
The rest of us go to camp, support & spectate.

You can get to the campsite with an Off-Road camper - but it's wild camping.

If there is enough interest we can reach out to Ron Hairbottle of Traction 4x4...

Arrange it, I am in...

I'm assuming as a spectator, not a participant Wessel?

[LesseW]

Most definitely...

[Wooky]

Definitely interested....

[Renier_c]

Would like to go!!!

[Woolf]

Definitely interested as a spectator.
As you will recall I attended as a spectator and it was really a fun weekend.
I think both of us found out how uncomfortable a Unimog is.

You'll have to be very selective about which vehicles can take part

Yip, it's one of those trips that stand out in your memories.

I remember all the participants leaving at the start of day 2.
I was packing & sorting stuff at camp so I missed my ride.
About 20 mins later I left & started walking upstream.
I found an LED torch that someone had dropped & ridden over.
I took it to Ron who was relaxing in camp.
I then walked back to the river.
I was about 35 minutes behind the vehicles.

I walked for 12 minutes & caught up with the guys.
They had barely covered a kilometer...

Tiny will LOVE Carnage Canyon.

Like River Trip, you have to go post rains as you drive upstream.
But unlike River Trip, this water is still flowing.

Trip I would love to see.

Depending on the dates, a friend and I would like to join as spectators. So when are you thinking of doing it Manuel?
