Overview

The event will start in Maltahoe on 1 May. We start gathering around 10.30 at the Maltahoe Hotel. There we can wonder through their museum and reminisce the past.

Lunch will be served as from 12.00 and we depart for Duwiseb around 13.30.

We expect to arrive at Duwiseb around 14.30 and some time will be spent wondering through the Duwiseb Castle with it’s intriguing history.

We depart for Aubures Camp were we will spend the night. Good ablutions and shady camp sites.

On 2 May we will do the Aubures 4×4 trail for those that are comfortable with the route. This will count as the first challenge of the trophy.

From there we proceed through Sinclair mine to Kanaan, Sattleberg and on through the quiver tree forest via Lovedale to the farm Soetdoring which is situated some 37 kilometers South of Helmeringhausen.

Soetdoring belongs to Jan Coetzee and will be our base for the rest of the time before we return home. We will be camping in the Konkiep River where the C14 and the D421 meet. Ablutions will be available and catering arrangements at this time will be self-catering.

Safari drive, river challenge, canyon climb etc. will be on the program at Soetdoring. There will also be time to have a rest if need be. The possibility of an official parade in Helmeringhausen to join in the Helmeringhausen Farmers Union 100 years anniversary could be on the cards

There are a number of very interesting off the beaten track routes to take on our way home.

As we get nearer to the time more information will be made available.
