    Zingela Bash 2023

    This is some of the footage from my Gopro of Friday's ride from Craigie Burn to Zingela. I have reposted the vid onto youtube a number of times already, but it always seems to cut the video short. On my computer it looks fine if I reduce the resolution to 1080p. But total crap on youtube. I...

    Zingela Bash 2023

    If memory serves me correctly, I was on my beloved XTZ750 Super Tenere.... Beast of a thing to take down that little track.

    Zingela Bash 2023

    I managed to ride the rocks just fine.... its the hard flat sand that seems to baffle me:rolleyes: We rode the rest of the river bed without any more casualties. Stopped for a pic or two, and just enjoyed being out in the saddle. Its the first time i have ridden this bit of river bed, Thanks...

    Zingela Bash 2023

    That little track has been a favourite of mine for years, but it always feels a liitle too short when you get to the end of it. We made our way back down to the D55/middlerus road, and rode for Weenen. A good few miles dowen the road , we turned off, following our esteemed leader for the day...

    Zingela Bash 2023

    I had spoken to @JonW earlier in the week, and had organized to meet along the route. I arrived a bit early as it turned out, and after riding along to the start of the proposed first track of the day, I headed back to the main road, and met the crowd riding back the other way. We rode into the...

    Two Vikings in Lesotho

    During the rest of the week, the weather in the park was truly spectacular. Beautiful sunny days with cool nights. One evening was warm enough that I could sleep out in the open. The stars you see up there with no light pollution is truly amazing. It reminds me so much of my wanderings in the...

    Two Vikings in Lesotho

    I am sure that there are. my little camp was upstream from a 'wee loch', and that definitely had a few beasties lurking in the depths

    Two Vikings in Lesotho

    A wild guess but, I think it had something to do with the water feed for the old abandoned lodge.

    Two Vikings in Lesotho

    After spending a second day at the backpackers, relaxing and having a general layabout. I had plenty of time to think about where to go riding in the days ahead. Being away from the crowds is more up my alley, so the aim was to find someplace remote, and camp out a while, move onto the next...

    Two Vikings in Lesotho

    Seeing as it spent most of the night pissin with rain, I was not in any hurry to get out of bed the next day. I was up and about with my coffee around 5am, and the weather was misty and dreary, as to be expected. After dithering about a fair bit, I went to chat to the lady at reception, and...

    Two Vikings in Lesotho

    Now that I had two weeks to myself to go explore the quieter, out the way places of Lesotho. I figured I would take some camping kit in my backpack, a book and my coffee pot, and go find a nice spot to get my Zen on, and unwind for a few days. I decided to skimp on any home comforts and carry...

    Two Vikings in Lesotho

    OK...so where was I?...Oh Yes The bikes were sorted, and Trond was busy hunting around for riding gear. He didn't own a single piece, so ended up bargain hunting, for bits and bobs and managed to find some decent kit. While he was doing that, I had decided on a route for the trip, and got busy...

    Two Vikings in Lesotho

    I've been meaning to do a ride report of the Lesotho bike trip I did with my brother in law last December/January. But between working, building, and a back injury, I've been putting it off. I have a bit of free time at the mo, so I will give it a go and try remember what we got up to.... My...

    Wild Dog Zingela Bash 2023 1 - 2 September

    I'm busy uploading a video I took(will share it in here for you to look at later this evening), when my Brother in law and I rode up to Zingela, as an intro for him into off road riding. He had never ridden offroad/dirt road/mud/rain/rocks etc. We got to ride all that on the same day just before...
