Level 1 & 2 BMW off-road training-Stellenbosch

Garth Hewitt's picture

Hi all

 

Below a couple of pictures taken yesterday at the Level 1 & 2 training outside Stellenbosch. I took over 500 photos and have chosen these as the best ones.

I have tried to put a name to every photo and do apologise if I missed anyone or have the spelling wrong...so many new faces and names!

I think everyone enjoyed it thoroughly and once again thanks the Pete as well as John and Arno. Also a big thank you to Attie for the use of his farm.

I will bring the full set op photos (approx 1GB) along to the next club meeting If anyone would like a copy.

great photos - thanks.

 

that last pic of Cindy in the sand. Aggressive hardly describes it.

She motored through it like she was actually doing the Dakar. I think she did it faster than john carr and arno.

There are so many problems in this world. Luckily there's a wristband available for almost all of them.

There's no indication that there will be a monthly club meeting this coming Tuesday (28 Feb 2012). Do you know when the next club meeting will be?

Thanks for the reminder.  There is a meeting on the last Tuesday of every single month except December.  I'm putting it into the calendar now, and emails and smses will go out over the weekend.
