Wat gebeur Desember op Rust de Winter? Rust de Winter is the official camp site of the 4x4ATV Organisation. Situated around 100km north of Pretoria, the members have an opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy time, off-road style, in nature. The 26,97ha camp site is situated on the banks of the Elands River and it is believed that, on our very camp site, you will find the biggest "Apiesdoring" trees in the southern hemisphere. Some of these trees are over 300 years old. This site caters an average of 100 permanent stands and about 200 casual sites available for day visitors. A touch of luxury is provided by 7 ablution facilities and 8 water tanks fed through a bore hole or pump form the river system depending on the time of year and water level in the river. (Please note however that this water is not fit for drinking - you are urged to bring along fresh drinking water when visiting the camp). Regular functions are hosted under the 4 lapa's on the site. Accross the road from the camp site we have access to what is known as the Gymkhana. Here our members have the opportunity to test their own as well as their vehicle's capabilities in a true off-road environment. These obstacles have been set up and are maintained by officials specifically for the purpose of enjoyment without damaging existing fauna and flora. The farms around Rust de Winter are privately owned and driving around on these dirt roads are strictly controlled and guided by the committee. We do however cater for this requirement through our Rust de Winter Bundu Trail where participants are taken into a mountainous area where guided access have been approved by the land owners. The Rust de Winter camp site
provides a cheaper option during holiday periods. A lot of our events are based
at the camp site and normally additional events are held during holiday periods,
ensuring that our members never get tired or bored when visiting Rust de Winter.
Even the children are quite happy to spend the day at the swimming pool and
sliding tube, providing parents with some deserved time off. They are free to
explore nature within the camp fences. The emphasis on family participation is
real and on big events such as the annual Toyota Rust de Winter Jamboree, the
committee provides special entertainment for the children. R50.00 per vehicle for the gymkhana per stay Non-Members - R30.00 per person per day R30.00 per camp site per stay R50.00 per vehicle for the gymkhana per stay To become eligible for a stand at Rust de Winter you have to be an active member of the 4X4ATV Organisation for no less than 2 years. Being "active" requires you to regularly attend monthly meetings and social functions. Your continued involvement in our Organisation activities is required - you have to attend at least 6 monthly meetings and visit your camp site at least 8 times during the year. Making yourself available to help in the camp where required, also helps a lot towards motivating for your stand. Should you meet this requirement, please contact Piet Pearson (0824455583) - there are limited stands available right now! Permanent stand fees are R350.00 per year and the normal camp fees per day applies. Membership and Rust de Winter fees are payable before the end of January each year. Wat gebeur Desember
op Rust de Winter? OK, let’s face it... nie ons almal kan dit bekostig om Desember die karavaan / sleepwa agter die 4x4 te hak en Afrika in te vaar nie! Waar ons vroeër jare in ‘n ernstige spaarplan geinvesteer het om vir die akkommodasie van die “vakansie” te spaar, het daar intussen ‘n groter monster op die horison verskyn: Never mind die akkommodasie, solank dit net naby is! Die brandstof rekening is ‘n nagmerrie en dit is net om “daar” te kom - dan het jy nog niks gedoen nie...
Ek vertrou daar sal hierdie Desember weereens ‘n gros van ons lede wees wat maar die kortpad gaan vat na Rust de Winter. Ons toegang is steeds R20 per lid en R30 per nie-lid met R30 eenmalig vir die voertuig. Ek het met Peter bevestig - jy betaal net een keer R50 vir die gymkhana en kan dit dan soveel keer besoek as wat jy wil, al boek jy in vir die hele Desember!
Ons wil
weereens aan alle besoekers aan Rust de Winter uitwys dat TOEGANGSFOOI
VIR RUST DE WINTER VANAF 1 FEBRUARIE 2007: |
