Mate Karen took a stock standard Nissan to the Cape no problems. I would recommend all terrain tyres and if possible a lift in the vehicle as some of the crossings you will scrape on.

Thank god i  logged on. I have been flat out with work lately and renovating the house this year so we havnt even planned on going camping this year. Put us down as a definate. By that time it will be well overdue to catch up with fellow myswaggers again.
Some work needs doing to CT and ute but we will be ready.
Our kids were too little for last years, so this will be great, especially with a group as i would be hesitant to do it alone.

COUNT US IN :)

I do expect some people to pull out. I will call for definate numbers around December. Once I have them I will plan the trip.

We planned 5 times to to the tip
and every time it got close to the date of departure
people kept pulling out until there was only one
i gave up on the idea of ever going now

I am new to this site (have been on PradoPoint for awhile) but so far have had a great read.  We were actually looking at visiting the Cape either 2011 or 2012 after purchasing our CT last year.  Is this something that you do each year or every few years.  Can you put us on the list as we are keen to see the tip of Australia.  What are the minimum requirements vehicle wise as we have just picked up a new 150 series Prado.
