Good day all,
Just reporting on the weekend,
Group of nine of 4x4 Action joined by another group, 15 vehicles and two guides, attempted and completed the Bundu 4x4 route at Rust de Winter. Weather wise it was a challenge , windy rain and cold, in some ways it made the route more challenging.
Saturday, runs over 40km , through Lovers-lane, a very tight passage through two rock cliffs. This is a very scenic route, very technical and some extreme descents and ascents, the route challenges you all the time.
The most extreme challenge on Saturday being Muis of man, or Mouse or Man, a 32 Degree slope,
Sunday we missed out on Superman due to the weather, the route returning was wet and some of the drop-offs was difficult and very slippery.
this is a must do for anyone

It has become a real PITA to arrange trips, as you say Manny. And the guys at RdW are not the most understanding either. They are not easy to work with..Mad Manny wrote: βSun Oct 14, 2018 11:19 pmI can assure you I wont be arranging it.Bugger wrote:Damnnnlooks Awesome

Thanks to the organizers.
My family enjoyed the weekend, met a few new faces, I particularly enjoyed exploring the #LAND, and got a few ideas for the official expropriation day,
Thabo, who was sponsored by Jaco also enjoyed the event, I'm going to kick him if he doesn't become a 4x4AG life member soon. He tested his Jeepie to new challenges, and himself.
Looking forward to Baboons Pass next year.
