Here is a short video from the last Blazing Trails tour I did into Lesotho. This covers our ride up Sani.



We are still putting the final touched together for the Full tour so keep a lookout for that.
It really is a privilege for me to be able to show international folk this beautiful and awesome country
 
So this December we did another Lesotho tour.
Sani was F^%$CKED :oops: and if it wasnt for that man @GRIM helping me out we would more than likely still be trying to get up.
After the 2nd fall of one of the punters, Straight into the rock face, and the other nearly dropping off the edge on the second switch back I called it and hired a local to get all 4 bikes up.
Will post a RR on the rest of the tour as soon as I get a chance.
Grim you sir, are a gentleman. Thank you

A guy on FB yesterday was saying he only made it halfway down and gave up... called a guy to pick him and the bike up. My first thought was"typical GS talk"

Now this morning I see your post. Seems I owe the guy an apology :sneaky:

🤣 a good time up Sani for me would be around 20 minutes, and we had the inevitable discussions around fastest times etc. What I can say,is that I've now set a personal record for the longest it's ever taken me to get up Sani, over 5 1/2 hours. Anyway any time on a bike is a fun time,and glad I could help @Casting from Turd . Next time we're definitely going fishing though... and bringing my son to pick up bikes.
