Just a little follow up here: We had a GREAT time in Namaqualand and really enjoyed Platbakkies Farm! Davie and Lizelle suggested some great places to see flowers around Springbok and Nababeep as well as some off-the-map back roads to explore between Springbok and their farm. We also REALLY...

Thank you so much for the replies! Things got crazy busy around Easter, but I'll check these out now.

Hi! We are trying to plan a vacation for a family of five to Namaqualand to celebrate my oldest daughter's graduation from high school. It looks like the dates we can get away are approximately 26 August to 1 September. We are looking for self-catering accommodation on a bit of a budget...

When in doubt use a hammer. The bigger the doubt, the bigger the hammer.

I agree that the organisers did very well from a spectator's perspective also. On Saturday (the day I watched) there was lots to see from the top of Bushman's Pass rather than having to following the riders all over the country to spectator points. I would think this is also good exposure for...

The weather condition really makes all the difference! There's no way I could ride any of this in the wet between my beginner skills and only a Chinese dual sport, but I have a lot of fun exploring when the weather is decent and the going isn't too tough.

If anyone has the Iron gps track and are willing to share, I'd love to have them. When I get a chance, I'll see if I can ride any of it.

I enjoyed watching the Roof today. The rain held off until afternoon, but the course had to be changed because the rivers were too full to cross. Manuel Lettenbichler finished 2nd in gold, but with a nice flourish at the end. https://photos.app.goo.gl/JHi224xFK6wv9uog8 This tricky climb...

Thanks a lot! That's better than nothing!

Hi, Is there anywhere I can download the gps tracks or a spectator's guide? I think they were on the website last year, but I can't find them this year.

No Covid test or vax certificate is needed at the border of Lesotho since midnight on 23 August. Seems like the official announcement is in Sesotho, but in short it says that Lesotho went to Green Level which does away with all restrictions...

No, not any more.

Just a note here--you no longer need covid vaccine certificate or test to enter or exit Lesotho. Hurray!

Matukeng, Qeme. On the south side of Maseru, about 20km from the Maseru border.

Greetings, and thanks for letting me be a part of Wild Dog Adventure Riding. I'm a missionary living in Lesotho. I used to ride a lot on tar and dirt roads, but sold my bike when there was a dramatic increase in traffic in Maseru beginning around 2005. More recently I got back into riding...
