I've stopped at De Kombuys (https://www.dekombuys.com/ or https://www.facebook.com/dekombuysestate) on the Oudshoorn side for a wine tasting and some wagyu beef - not cheap, but I can highly...

This was the condition of the road in September for probably 90% of the route. The 2 rockier sections are the 2.5km climb from De Vlugt and the 1km climb from Dieprivier (the next little river...

It's not a trail in any way. You can do it in almost any car except those with dropped suspensions. The rockier sections are a small percentage of the route and there shouldn't be a problem if you...

A comment on the Sanparks Garden Route Facebook page (i'm still looking for the original press release):

"South African National Parks (SANParks) has introduced stricter measures to curb...

I haven't been along the road since September but i do know the section between De Vlugt and Buffelsnek has quite a few small loose rocks in sections. In September there was an X5 at the Die...

Wine tastings onthe Plett wine route https://www.plettwinelands.co.za/#vineyards (i like Newstead and Kay and Monty)
Braai and "swim" in the stream / walk to the waterfall at Jubilee Creek (see...

Die Plaaskind Padstal in De Vlugt is open. I don't know the status of Angie's as I've never stopped there.

I've never had a sit down meal but its always a pleasant stop to refuel with some...

MZNP is a great park! I've done all the 4x4 trails in a Renault Duster 4x4 but i can definitely see that after a bit of rain that they could take on a totally different character. I found the Juries...

Use Strava to record your rides and Fitbit just for your heart-rate data. You can then view Strava segment results to see how you compare to other riders including those in your weight or age...

I highly doubt that you will get any time savings by coming down the pass but it is a way more scenic route. If you want to see more of the forest you can also turn right on to Kom se Pad at...

I've unfortunately not done that route before. If you go cradock, cookhouse, somerset east, R335, Addo, Uitenhague, Plett then you can do the Zuurberg Pass (there are threads on the forum) . Zuurberg...

Mountain Zebra National Park near Cradock is a really special place and has a few interesting 4x4 routes. I prefer MZNP over Cambedoo National Park as there is better game viewing and the rest camp...

Bring your mountain bike and give Knysna Cycle Works a call - best way to experience the forest.

You can drive Kom se Pad through the forest or head up to Jubilee Creek for a braai / walk in the...

I picked up my new Jimny in PE this morning on the way back home to Knysna.

Really enjoyed the drive despite a considerable head/cross wind - was easily able to hold 120km/h on cruise control....

Hi guys

I swapped my Jeep KJ 3.7L with 2" lift etc for a Ford Figo in 2012 :( . I made the change at the time as my 1st child had just arrived (I now have a 2nd turning 3 next month) and i...

Another suggestion would be to post on www.sareptiles.co.za. Their members are pretty similar in spirit to ours and will be able to advise you on how best to care for it in the interim.

Was just about to post about this as its one of Groupon's deals for the day. So far 308 people have purchased the deal.........

Hey Richard,

Thanks for a great day out today, you have set up a really awesome trail that I think will only get better having an owner as passionate about 4x4ing as you are (or should I say...

Hey HeinrichC

I think it was R150 per vehicle. Its not the longest trail, but has great views from the top.

Should be a walk in the park for the Wrangler (the biggest obstical is Boomslang...

Hi HeinrichC

There are a number of trails near Cape Town, really just depends on what you are looking for (Tierkloof, Ou Trekpad, Two Oceans, Atlantis Dunes etc).

Two Oceans is closest to...

Been meaning to post of pic of my sticker for a while......So here it is ;D

Please add me to the list.

Thanks

Hey ChrisF

Please could you PM me the contact details for the course that you are taking. Swambo really enjoys her photography, but would love to learn how to use her camera properly. Would be a...

A 4.0L Jeep XJ would definitely be on my shopping list....

Hey XJJ

You mean something like this? ;D

Thanks jason. I now have to find the leave to do the trip!!

I am keen to get together for a braai, but will have to confirm closer to the time once I know what my work commitments will be like.
...

Great effort XJJ!!!

Man XJ Junkie I would have really loved to join you guys today. I should have checked the forum 1 last time before going to bed. Hope you guys had a good day out!

Hi Hagu13

i'm new to Cape Town so haven't got any first hand experience on where to go, but from my research online I've been looking at giving http://www.buffelsfontein.co.za/4x4.htm a go. The...

Looks like the same compressor that i have. Doesn't work too badly but struggles above the region of 1.8 bar. I've found that it definitely does not inflate a tyre in 1.5 minutes (well i suppose...

Hi guys
Just wanted to thank the FA Club for this afternoon. I had a great time.
Cheers

Entrance fee for Wiesenhof is R35 per person. We had lunch at Fairview (It's a few minutes away, but there are tons of places in the area). There are braai spots at Wiesenhof if you want to do your...

Hi 4x2,

You won't have any real problems. I put my jeep into low range, but that was mainly because i have an auto box and just found it easier to control my speed rather than having to used the...

Apocalypse, there isn't much better than a good cup of coffee!!
I'm based in Sea Point, nice and central for the city, but not very fair on the Jeep - too much tar and not enough mud!

I decided to pop out to Wiesenhof today to see what its like. It is really tame, could be completed by soft roaders and probably polo's, chico's and rental car's as well ;D. Anyway, was a good drive...
