we then continued up the other side of the valley where we came to a fork in the road. We all knew :biggrin: that had we gone left we would have come out at the start of the Rus and Vrede 4x4 trail, but we decided to take the right fork, and explore an alternative and previously unexplored trail. As it turned out, this was the best route that impressed and delighted us more than we could have ever imagined. It was a truly unforgettable experience.
At the bottom of the next pass we stopped under the shade of a tree where Jupiter brewed us each a cup of his best brew.
We continued on and past thru a valley that was home to a handful of houses surrounded by plush green fields....and this was just in the middle of nowhere.
we eventually came to a sign stating no entry, and it was about the same time that we realised we might have chosen the wrong turnoff :biggrin: fortunately a friendly farmer gave us some directions and some oil for Jupiters bike, and we continued along the "new" trail.
we continued along the tops of the mountain range and passed some breath taking views and valleys where one can see for miles around....down another pass and then suddenly we arrived at this grassy shaded spot where we stopped and relaxed for half an hour spending some quality time chatting and relaxing, and then continued along the trail until we arrived at an intersection that linked us up with the 'main" trail again :biggrin:
