4×4 club at Oribi Mountain Farm
Lowveld 4x4 had its monthly run on Saturday February 23 to a place called Oribi Mountain Farm and 4x4.
It is about 50km from Mbombela on the Schoemanskloof Road. The farm is high up in the mountains, with plenty of tracks and obstacles to explore.
They will do that trip again.They had a total of 14 vehicles on the run. For two of the drivers, it was the first outing. Vehicles consisted of short-wheel-base Pajeros, Land Cruisers, a Jeep Cherokee, and the rest of the group was a mixed brand of your standard long-wheelbase 4×4 bakkies.
Driver of the day was awarded to Renier Janse van Rensburg, who displayed good driving skills and did not get stuck once on any of the obstacles.

One of the obstacles was quite tricky, and most vehicles got bogged down.Our lady co-drivers got stuck in and were not afraid of vehicle recovery in the mud. Even the children had a great time. All vehicles were driven home after the event.
The club does not go out to break the vehicle, but rather test and improve the drivers’ skills.The next club meeting will be on Wednesday March 20 at 18:00, venue to be confirmed, and our next run will be on Saturday March 30.
