markStockton Posted January 27, 2008 Share While riding on a narrow twisty bit of jeep track at the Lanseria side of NF yesterday, my son and I came across a small convoy of 4X4's coming down the track in the opposite direction. The track was so narrow we had to stop and wait for them to pass before we could carry on. My question is since when are 4X4's allowed at NF, and if they arn't, what is the appropriate way to report the problem. These guy's weren't bird watching, so they can't use that excuse.

Danger Dassie Posted January 27, 2008 Share Were they being reckless? How does one know if they weren't there for bird watching? What constitutes a convoy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Dassie Posted January 28, 2008 Share Contact Debbie on 082 533 4545 for enquiries. www.northernfarm.co.za Like HR I've never had a problem there and have generally experianced only coureous behaviour from any 4x4 drivers.Bear in mind many birders drive to different parts of the farm, often three or four up.

markStockton Posted January 28, 2008 Share Were they being reckless? How does one know if they weren't there for bird watching? What constitutes a convoy? They weren't being reckless, although it was a very tight and slow section of the course so I can't tell you what they would do in the faster area's. No binoculars, when you pass birdwatchers you always notice the binoculars. I think it was 3 vehicles in the convoy. Holy Roller, you are correct. The normal bird watchers in 4X4's are excellent, they make an effort not to impact on your, often pulling way out the way and stopping to let bikes through. However there was definitely something different about this group. BTW - Further along the same stretch we cam across a huge water monitor crossing the road. Very cool to see.
