This past Saturday we and 7 other 4×4 vehicles, did a 4×4 Off-Road Training course at Hennops Off Road Trail, presented by Tim Skelton from SA Adventure. Tim is a great instructor and guide, and he has a wealth of experience of travelling into and through Africa.

Here is a slideshow of the photos taken on the day.

I strongly recommend this training to anyone who owns a 4×4. Not only is it exciting, as you learn what your vehicle can actually do off-road, it’s also a day of fun in the sun!

And there’s the added bonus, of course: You get a discount on your 4×4 insurance when you have completed an approved 4×4 off-road driving course, such as this.

Recovering your 4×4 safely from mud, soft sand, or any similar situation is not as easy as you may think.

Using the proper equipment, in the right way makes the recovery easier, as well as safer.

Here is a video showing exactly how to use kinetic straps (aka snatch straps) properly, when recovering your stuck 4×4.
