There also is a "New Elephant Rally" somewhere else a couple of weeks earlier, don't ask me what the difference is!

Check out the Youtube videos of both events- the 'new' one is the (now less rowdy than previously) rowdy one with steep hillside campsite and the 'old' one is a little more laid back and what's 'is face from the DHR always shows his arse by doing the spinning stick game in his kilt (complete with show of sheath knife).
Dwaal- that's the chap (at 17:54):

I prefer the look of the old one but would still like to do the new one just the once for the rowdiness and to say I've done it although I'd not be pleased to have to park at the top on the road and lug all my gear down and then up again.

ah, the good old days! when "winter gear" consisted of a Captain America helmet and a denim jacket

well, we're a bit of a detour from the direct route but anyone daft enough to venture this far south can buy me beer deliver teabags get laughed at crash over

You need teabagging you say?
