I have been to the Baviaans many times and heard about the crossing from Steytlerville being a very difficult route.
After some enquiries I was told it is extremely difficult and I should not attempt it.
This made me decide it was a challenge which I needed and my love affair with the Baviaans was comfortable enough for me to attempt a rear entry.
Next step was to find someone to join and no one was interested in my escapade until I asked Gotcharater
We left PE in a cold misty drizzle but only about 15Km’s onto Elandsriver Rd and we were in sunshine
We only left PE at 10am and had a quick stop at Grootrivier Poort
From here we went through to Steytlerville for lunch and a quick refuel
And made our way to the entrance
Looking back
Looking ahead
The View
I would like to have taken pics of the more difficult sections but was too scared to stop in case I could not get going and
have to go down again
You can see forever from up here
The road to the right is the one we came in on the earlier pic
Time for a quick breather near the top
Then through a Valley between the next Mountain and we started descending into Baviaans
The Doornkloof Campsite is just in front of the Left crop circle
Baviaans towards Willowmore
I was taken back by the beauty of this ride and felt extremely content with life.
When we arrived at the Bash site I was sopping wet from all the sweating even my gloves were soaked.
