We started the dirt just after Montague , with me upfront.
While waiting the the team to re-group , I was told that camelman had hit one of those water crossings and that his KTM690 had broken the rear link on his swing arm.
Well done to Ktm Cape Town for sending a KTM van out to collect his 690 and drop him a Ktm 1190 demo to complete his EC Bash trip. Wow !

On the way up , we stayed just out of reach of the rain, heading for a black cloud and managed to get through a wet Seweweekspoort , with out being rained on.

Until 3km before Carlitzdorp , then the heavens opened and it rained and hailed.
I had to open my visor and ride with my hand partially over my face to stop the hail from hitting me in the face until we drove into the garage to refuel.

The storm took out the electricity in Carlitzdorp , so lunch at Die Dorphuise took too look too long.

The road that followed was absolutely awesome , wet with water running across the road .
Only a New BMW 1200 had an argument with some deep red mud and Knoemoer found out how quickely your rear wheel can overtake u.
Luckely , he limped away with a swollen anckel (Hope its not cracked)

Codgehopper and his Yamaha Super Tenere 1200

Robin Brown

This delay made us end up riding in the dark , only getting to De Rust, Backbackers at 20h30.
Where Henno Petzel and his parter were the perfect hosts and we partied into the night

The next morning we hit the road , through Meringspoort , and RH down that long fast dirt road to Willowmore for a hearty breakfast.
Then with a blink of an eye were we were at the bash , First bikes to arrive , for a change,

But not before , the slippery road into the bash , saw my Tenere take a short cut through the bushes ( without falling) and Camelmans , KTM1190 doind a quick breakdance

Passed the group at the Anysberg exit.

Stopped for a chat just before Seweweekspoort as most (but not everyone

)donned rain gear.

We (the wife and I) stayed over at Koedoeskloof that evening and had the pleasure of Operator and 2StrokeDan company.

Andy660 · May 12, 2014

Hi Tony , good to bump into you and your wife , hope you had a good trip home .

Superten & Camelman

Andy660 · May 12, 2014

Our Hike on Bo-Kloof Guest Farm , was an absolute must.
They have a great campsite also.

And the Kloof is breath taking , Literally too , for mr that is so unfit!

Ice Cold water

Shaheed and Camelman discussing the fact that they cant go any further ,and what you cant see , is that Robin Brown is 6m up the RH wall , free climbing , saying you can get up here ! Lol,
Yes all good for him , but not for us.

Andy660 · May 12, 2014

Check this , we found a Dinosaurs foot ?

Na , A Wild Fig Trees roots of a huge old tree

And Adventure Hunter is a Funny Bugger , he made me laugh a lot this weekend, here showing us how you can protect you Thigh Burns , I mean , your Side Burns ! Lol

Knormoer , Codgehopper and of course , Adv Hunter !

:imaposer: sorry that I roosted you Jupiter. I didn't realise it was you till after, not that it is good to roost anyone . Sometimes my manners go out the door when I'm on the bike . Here you go organising the best bash ever , and you get roosted for it . :biggrin: >

Rynet · May 13, 2014

Wow that was just the best weekend ever, such a great Bash , such a great group to ride with and thanks Andy for trying to keep all your chickens together , and for organising lekker accommodation and great routes. :thumleft: We had to much fun laugh muscles are still hurting . :biggrin:

Welcome to the forum Shaheed 1200 and Codgehopper, you guys are awesome and it was a pleasure to meet and ride you . Shaheed you ride that 1200 GS ADv like a scrambler . :ricky:

Great to ride with the group , most of whom I know, and also first time riding with Adventure Hunter , who made us laugh so much :biggrin:
