    Die Hel / Gamkaskloof and Ons Karoo Plaas, 20-23 January 2023

    This was my Sixth ride from Cape Town to Die Hell in 10 months. Being January, it was difficult to get a full compliment of 8 for this ride, to fill the 8 beds at the Safari Bush Camp in Die Hel. Back To Work after the holidays, made it difficult for some to take leave. Some were battling with...

    Anysberg Reserve and bikers

    I think they have been very tolerant of us passing through and taking a break there, but as more and more adventure riders and groups start doing that, it has reached the stage that it impacts on them. Picking up stompies, cleaning the toilets, etc. Perhaps Cape Nature have instructed them that...

    Anysberg Reserve and bikers

    Quite right. As I said in the original post, we are welcome to ride through (for free). But to use any of their facilities, we need to pay the day visitor fee. This gives you access to WiFi at the office, the toilets, picnic benches, shady trees, swimming pool, etc.

    Anysberg Reserve and bikers

    We made a brief stop yesterday at the office area in Anysberg, to cool down under the trees. The lady in the office approached us in a friendly manner and asked us to please spread the word.

    Floriskraal Gates road (Die Hekke Pad) between Laingsburg and Prince Albert

    That is an illegal locked gate. The farmer was served a notice by the roads dept to not lock the gate. Whether he has complied, I do not know, but I know guys carry a bolt-cutter on that road. We prefer to take the road immediately North of it. However that is the one we are now trying to...

    Floriskraal Gates road (Die Hekke Pad) between Laingsburg and Prince Albert

    Hi Guys, we are going that way this weekend and sometimes the far Eastern End of the Floriskraal farm roads can be rather sandy after crossing the Dwyka River, depending on when last the road has been graded, recent rains, and recent winds. At the beginning of June last year, the sand level was...

    GPS vs Smartphone apps - my research

    Something is very wrong with your setup. MapOut very definitely does not require a mobile signal. I use an old iPhone, without a SIM card and with WiFi switched off, for all my route planning, navigating and ad-hock changes mid-route. The only time it needs an internet connection, is to download...

    Sold Brand new GoGravel soft panniers incl 2 x 30L Agulhas duffel bags

    I have a brand new complete set of the GoGravel soft panniers which do not fit my 800GSA pannier racks, because one rack has a lateral bend in it and the other a vertical bend, designed to fit the OEM hard panniers. These sell for R5100 but I am willing to sell my new set for R4000 for a quick...

    Trade My F800 GSA standard seat for your lower seat

    I have a 2015 model BMW F800 GS Adventure with the standard seat (890mm seat height), looking for the lower (860mm) version, to trade or potentially purchase. Though I enjoy the higher seat tremendously on tar, I find that being on my tiptoes on dirt to be a bit too unstable when I am forced to...
