OK,... here we go again,.....

BTW,.... a really Request from my side, to all the guys that have & will be travelling through this section,..... PLEASE ride through there (while still having a bit of fun of cause >:D >:D ), to ride through there in a responsible manour as not to Piss off the owners of that ares. It truly is a wonderful place with beutiful scenery & it'll be really sad if us WD's get blocked from riding through there.

After the really Gr8 stop @ the "Houdenbeksriver", we continued on the last section of this Awesome road & eventually came out @ the section just before the Kattbakkies Pass, where quite a few of us have never been up & over it.

Some really super views from up there too. :drif: :drif: :thumleft:

RR sure handles that Husky :notworthy: ;)

& DougC,.... you can truly see you were having a Gr8 time. :thumleft:
 
With the KTM boys, Husky & KLR way up ahead,.... myself & Buff briefley stopped @ this point to admire & take in the truly Breath Taking views that lay before us, on the other side of that pass. I can assure you,.... any photo does NOT do this view any justice,.... this is something you just have to experience for yourself. :drif: :drif: :drif:

We turned around again to start heading back down the pass & head off to the Oasis...... as there were a few ice cold "Steering Dampers" waiting for us ;) ;) ;D

On the way back, we past this "pretty brokken ruin". Could not resist stopping for a few photos.

Some great photos and excellent weather I see!

Hey there Buddy, sure was pretty hot out there, especially the next day. Sure hope you can make it next time. :thumleft:
 
DougC told us about this really cool place called "Kagga Kamma" on route (& to the right) back down Kattbakkies Pass, where there are these really cool Rock Formations all over the show as far as your eyes can see.

Well this has to be one of the best "Gems" I have seen in a very long time. Once again, photos just don't do this place any justice..... you have to get out there & see it for yourself.

Rerig pitty julle groep kon dit nie maak on ons te join..... :'( BUT like I said earlier,.... we now just have another reason to do the same trip all over again in a few months time..... sure will be a lot cooler then too. ;) :thumleft:
 
As each corner you go around,.... more & more fantastic formations keep popping out.

Here you can see Buff trying his best to shift that rock :lol8: :lol8:

BTW,... thanks a lot Murdock for waiting @ that intersection for us,.. just incase Mambat & RR came past that way. :thumleft:

Seriously though..... those 3 guys sure do know thier stuff & do not mess around when it comes to "Gravel Travel" :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft: :ricky:

BTW.. Dave,.... with the you guys out in fron most of the time, there is absolutley no way that we would ever get lost out there..... all we had to do was simply follow the never-ending "Roost Marks" you guys left behind as you exit each & every corner :peepwall: :ricky: :pot: :pot: ;D
