I are indeed Afrikaans. Dankie vir die verduideliking oor die skilpaaie, sal dit onthou!

Stilbaai was wet and windy this morning when I left. I got on a gravel road that goes to Gouritz. I wanted to go and have a look at the Ystervarkpunt lighthouse but unfortunately it is in a private nature reserve and I could not get access. The views on this road was stunning. I had a...

Agree! It was great!

Only a pleasure. You must do it, you wil enjoy it and will have a great time.

After Malgas I went on gravel to Vermaaklikheid and then another beautiful gravel route and ended up in Stilbaai where I will be staying for the night. Had a nice late afternoon meal and some. beer in the harbour and found a cosy guest house to spend the night. What a great day of riding!

So at Gansbaai Coffee Co. the owner Henk gave me a free packet of their coffee roast. He asked that I must take a picture of the roast while on my travels, then post it on Instagram, Facebook or so. I am not very big on social media and told him I do not have social media accounts. He was still...

I tried to check out the light house at Gansbaai called Danger point, but again they are closed thanks to a virus known as the Coronavirus disease also known as Covid 19…not sure if you know it. From there I went to Die Dam, a nice gravel road and then through some more gravel routes on the...

Leaving Cape Town (Gordons Bay) and now going coastal into the direction of St’Francis bay. I left the guest house around 7:30 (every morning it js getting later) and made my way through Rooiels. Saw a terrible bike accident on Rooiels…I stopped on one of view points and made a...

Definitief!

There is the R61 connecting Aberdeen to Beaufort West. But I took a longer route on gravel. After a few km on the R61 there is a board that said Nelspoort where you get on a nice piece of gravel into Beaufort West. The route looks like this.

I went passed Ds Kallie Le Roux and thanked him for the help. He is not the local town Dominie, but now retired after preaching in Darling. He showed me around his guest house called Springbok Lodge. Definitely worth staying over in the future…. Leaving Merweville I went in the direction of...

Yesterday was a long day with excellent gravel roads  and mind blowing Karoo scenery! Left the guest house at Beaufort West around 6:30 Through town and after short drive on the N1 I turn right on gravel road heading to Merweville. After about 20km or so the road that I have to take to...

I arrived safely in Beaufort West around 15:00. It was around 34 degrees. Seeing that I spend a night in jail I decided to treat myself at Lemoenfontein Game Lodge just outside Beaufort West. Took a nice swim (was the best!) had a couple of beers and just enjoyed the views….

So this morning I manage to leave Philippolis jail quite early. Just as the sun was breaking the surface I was over the Oranje River and into the Northern Cape past Colesberg, Noupoort and into Middleburg. Through Middleburg I took the 1st gravel of the day all the way to Nieu-Bethesda...

Travelled on the N1 to Bloemfontein…nothing much to share except for having a lekker breakfast at Jakalsdrift Padstal about 120km before Bloem. After Bloemfontein I went into the direction of Jagersfontein. One straight long tar road that felt as if it will never end. Jagersfontein is a...
