In 2016 and 2017 the Loweld BMW club, which I was a member of at the time, was tasked with developing the routes for 2017 GS Trophy. We rode thousands of kms to come up with useable routes or the event which was hosted by BMW using the Badplaas resort as a base.

What follows is a photo report of the recces I was involved in over several months as well as some pics taken during the event

Lekke nou kom al die foto's uit wat nooit gesien sou word. :thumleft: :drif:
 
We also explored  the area around Msoli and Diepgezet ghost town

We mostly did day trips to the area, but also spent a couple of weekends at the resort to finalise routes

We ran into a dead end on this occasion, but would return a few weeks later to find an awesome Black route, mostly on parts of the local Wildside Enduro race's green route
