Iwan Kemp Posted October 19, 2012 Share Dude, Agreed. But Bridal is a case in point - a loooot needs to be done. I reckon it'll just be you, me, D & D, John'o and maybe Crow that pitch in for that one... I'm there! Bridal is sick as it is. With some TLC it'll be even more worth the climb. Okay, push... Like I said in the other thread, willing to bring a spade and dig it wherever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Deon) Posted October 19, 2012 Share Let's do the switchbacks! I love that trail on my hardtail, its sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Bridal needs reinforcing. Different job completely. The issue is getting the materials up there, that is once we have the materials. No way a 10 ton truck is getting up and down, unless it is 4x4. Will be looking at hiring the correct people or machines for the job.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted October 19, 2012 Share Have truck, will work for biltong! Seriuosly though, we can use my truck and I can organize a trailer that can take lots of stuff. I'll sponsor the fuel, trailer snd camping fridge for the beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwan Kemp Posted October 19, 2012 Share The Ranger, yes. Gotta earn it's keep. That bakkie has climb much worse roads and terrain than the one leading to the top of Bridal. BUT. Can also organize a 5T truck if needed as well. Will be a lot more tricky to get it to the top. Ranger and trailer will do the trick. Think we need to sit down and discuss whats needed and then see who can pull what strings. (Deon) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch, she will have earned her keep after one day! Something tells me a 5 ton may be more practical than trailer. You know how toight that jeeptrack is!! It's only when you drive up that you realize. Then again, I also don't doubt your rally skillz! Agreed, let's chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwan Kemp Posted October 25, 2012 Share Have a plan of action, yet? How many guys and gals will be pulling through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 25, 2012 Share You, me, Deon, Duane, one Hog (maybe 2) and one or 2 others (possibly) so 5 minimum, but that's enough to get a bit done. Still - FAR too few people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which trail is getting some work? I should be on the mountain, so am looking to come and help. (Deon) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Deon) Posted October 25, 2012 Share Puffie it is. I didn't get stuck in deep mud for nothing plotting out the trail! Damn, this needs to be the sweeetest climb to compensate for the 45mins coercing the mud sunk wheels out of a ditch! I have a pic, check the level!!

You should have phoned, I would have been there in a flash, winch, cables, snatch ropes the works (the usual overkill) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted October 25, 2012 Share Did I say that I'll be there? Sure I did, maybe on the other thread? Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
