2017 Put Foot Rally

[Flutterby]

H.e - I haven't worked out the costs yet. The entry fee for one person and a vehicle is about R6000.00. Then you need to factor in petrol, accommodation and food/drinks so 25K might be a realistic number.

Why should you pay? What is included? You should be paid for doing that tour

[Flutterby]

Just checked their website and this is their breakdown of costs:

Entry fee: R6000
Petrol: R9000
Accommodation: R75-R750/day depending on what sort of accommodation you want
Food & Drink: R75-R300/day depending on how thirsty and hungry you are
Border crossings & vehicle insurance: R6000

Ok 'nessa,. sofar this puts us at,...

6000.00 + 9000 (this seems very high), + 6000.00 = 21000.00
excluding food and accoma,..I'm a lean macxhine so add another
3000.00 for food = 24000.00 and add 250.00 per night x 18 = 4500.00,....
= 28500.00,.....Mhhhnnn I reckon this can be whittled down,...
somewhat,.....

My opinion a trip worthy!!!!

[Lisbeth]

To me it sounds very expensive

[Flutterby]

Remember that the petrol expense would be shared between the car occupants.

What vehicle are you using?

[Errol1]

Errol, this is for next year...June/July 2017. It we pay before the end of July this year we get a 20% discount.

Take a look at the link in the first post for all the details and costs.

Flutts, I will be retiring at the end of September this year and will be obliged to assist with projects on a part time basis for 12 months after I retire which will possibly be a maximum of two weeks a month so next July will unfortunately not be suitable for me next year. Is this an annual event as 2018 looks like a better option for me?

[Flutterby]

Rob, at the moment it looks like we'll be using my Jeep. I really only want two people in my car (maximum three) - there's going to be lots of luggage with camping gear, clothes and food and drink etc. But then we could travel in convoy with anyone else who's interested.

Yoh, seems like this could turn out to be a trip
of a lifetime,...
