Strange you should ask that question, that's where I'm heading - see Christmas present to myself.

T-Bob Posted January 8, 2013 Share Hey Grumps, was in the police station when you were reporting it. Sounded hectic, was going to ask what happened but didn't want to hack in. They need some more of those serious looking dog teams up there as they are bloody scary and effective. Hope you're doing okay and you're insured.

sharkysa Posted January 8, 2013 Share Why not set up a sting operation? Monitor the mountain in the evenings, work out where they hide and wait right there for them... One dose of SWAT in the face, some cable ties, a good few klaps and leave them out for the the rangers to find them it they ever patrol. Sorry to say but force is the only way. I am tired of relying on the authorites, kangaroo court alll the way! Maybe the book about killing Brett Kebble has got to me.....I used to be so forgiving. I ride the blockhouse often by myself and they will not stop me. I will only fight if better prepared then them.

DJR Posted January 8, 2013 Share I've been informed by a hiker friend that they encountered some suspicious looking characters very early yesterday near the Woodstock cave. It was so early that it appears likely they slept there rather than hiked up the mountain. If my memory serves me right, this used to be the hangout of the baddies and was cleaned up by the cops and rangers a while back. Perhaps some investigating and more clearing out is needed? SANParks? Cops? Community Police Forum?

Grumps Posted January 8, 2013 Share Pls give exact area of mugging - google earth etc. I think it a good idea to build a database of where these moegoes hide and attack their victims..It happened at the big tree plum pudding they jumped out of a bush next to tree took the rangers up to where it happened so they going monitor that area.

Meezo Posted January 8, 2013 Share It happened at the big tree plum pudding they jumped out of a bush next to tree took the rangers up to where it happened so they going monitor that area. This is a hot spot on table mountain, from either side its a blind corner as you come there on incline from either side.Either side = from rhodes mem to blockhouse en versa vice. Sorry bru for this to happen to you. why they wait there as there is that jeep track that takes you down to de waal drive, so it makes for an easy get away!
