How far do you travel to 4x4

[grips]

Overlanding excluded from this one. My aim is on trails and 4x4 outings.

Most of our better trails are more than 200km away. I even did trips up to 700km from home with the Yank Ranger when I still owned it.

Seems that some of the local 4x4 owners in our town does not like it to venture more than the odd 50km out.

Grips drove from Kathu to Giyani to do River Trip.
That's about 1000km I think.

I've driven to CT to do Atlantis Dunes - but I didn't go purely to 4x4 - in fact I would have gone anyway. So it doesn't count.

To purely 4x4 the farthest I've driven was to Oyster Bay when I arranged the 1st NGTG for the 4x4Community Forum.
That was about 1000km.

I've also been to Whoooooopah! at Boegoebergdam (Groblershoop).
That's 775km away & it's for a dune driving GTG.

But generally, for a day trail, I won't do more than 150 - 200km max.

About 2 hrs traveltime each way ...
So assume depart 7 am

7am depart
9am arrive after 2 hr travel time
13hoo after 4 hr trail time
15Hoo after 2 hr Braai time
17h00 after 2hrs home for Beer time
... maybe 30mins contingency ?

1000kms there and back. But that was over a long weekend and included camping

Quack you stay at the end of the World. Must say you are one of the guys doing very long hauls to attend 4x4 events.
I also know that you does not exceed 100km/h traveling there

I have done

Carnage Canyon 750km
Barakke duine 900km
Ultimate Adventure 700km to Swaziland Via Midrand
Moegatle is 380km

so staying out of gangsters paradise most trails are in the region of 300km away

Our trip to do the most extreme Baboons Pass, 1103km's and it was worth every cent.

[KurtG]

Martin, did you go via Durban?

[Mad Manny]

Kurt, he did it twice in one weekend.
Benoni - Baboons, the pass, back home, new side shaft, then to baboons again & home.
1800km.
That's what made it Most Extreme....

[Martin de Jager]

At least I have done it, more than you two sissies can say,
