VALENTINES EVENT – WOLWEKLOOF – 15 FEBRUARY
2015 – GAUTENG
It was an overcast day as all the Jeep Club members arrived at the
venue.
The drivers briefing
was held and
certificates handed
out to all the
committee members
who had attended the
First Aid Course late
last year.
Craig Habig gave a
demonstration on what
recovery items one should
have in their recovery kit as
well as some tips on best
usage of the relevant items.
All that done we broke into
two groups – advanced with
lots of clearance required with their Jeeps and the second group the
standard Jeeps. Tyres all deflated and we were off under the guidance
of the trail owners Anthonie and Neels.
I fell into the standard group, with sun breaking through the clouds. It
was not long and our guide had managed to get his Mitsubishi stuck,
with a quick Jeep recovery he was out and back on the route.
Anne-Marie and her team handed out Valentine goodie bags for each
driver to give to that special person in their lives.

The route is a mild grade 3 drive through the farm
with a few grade 4 obstacles over loose rock which
required some guidance from selected spotters.
One or two articulation climbs at an off camber
along the route and we were all back at base camp
ready for lunch.
Lunch was ready and all tucked in to a delicious
meal finished off with some cool refreshments.
Thank you Jeep Club SA for a wonderful day of
4x4 fun.
Craig Parsons.
After lunch we had a ‘mini-prize giving’ and they were awarded as follows :
Heksie se Taxi (good Guy) was awarded to Daan Nel who
time and time again got out of his vehicle to assist others
over the various obstacles.
Bosvark (Bad Guy) was awarded to Bruno who
unfortunately for him, was spotted throwing his
cigarette butts into the veld.
Pap Lepel (Stirer) was awarded to Burgert Blom
who held up the convoy while setting up and
adjusting his go-pro and then again to deflate his
tyres.

Invited guest’s review:
“On the 15th of February 2015 Anne-Marie invites
me to
The Valentines Jeep 4x4 Event. It was my first 4x4
experience, and was little bit scary and sceptical to
go.
I decided to go, and it was the most awesome
fantastic experience I had in a long time. All the
club members were so friendly and I felt so welcome
from the beginning. It was an experience I will
never forget and will go again. Thanks to all that
made that day so unforgettable to me.” Santa.
Toti – 15 FEBRUARY 2015 – KWAZULU-NATAL
The 15’Th of February we all met on a wet Sunday morning
at the Seadoone Checkers Centre, thankfully the weather
cleared by the time we left and with 11 Jeeps in tow we set
off into green lush hills of the KZN South Coast.

The Toti outing is more of a scenic one but you can always count on a Jeep to find a challenging obstacle
or two…
We were expecting a lot more mud but it was
surprisingly not too bad. Along route there is a
notorious marsh land which gets avoided by
most because they know it could end up in a
week’s cleaning of the Jeep. But there is always
that one guys that think he can conquer the
marsh. But yet again the marsh claimed its next
victim.
With making good timing we decided we
would try out a new section that we have not
done yet. It was a short, very rocky steep climb
which was mastered by the Jeeps. The rewards
were spectacular a 360 view of it surrounding
with a vista stretching for miles ahead. Hence
the locals named it Table Mountain.
With the weather turning again Ian offered for us to
go and braai by his place down in Amanzimtoti
sheltered from the gusty winds. We all enjoyed the
lunch and afterwards we left our separate ways
home.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, see you at the
next one!
