Me and a friend set off to ride some freestate towns from GP, all what we had in mind was setting off to Parys and there we would decide further, keeping the wet rainy conditions in mind we decided to stay clear of the gravel roads as we would not want unsuspected off's, so we stopped at Henly on Deck as can be seen in the pic's the water level of the Denneysville dam are very high and most of the spots  under underwater. We then sett off to Parys and enjoyed  a couple of fresh drinks at Jimmy Jaggers  then off to Orkney,  met a couple of friends at the Orkney Vaal and only returned to our guest overnight stay after 01h00 in the little town.

Looks like a nice ride and lekker pics.  Thanks.  You make me miss my DL1000!

Just a note, that is the Vaal Dam, not the Deneysville Dam.  :thumleft:
 
That very first picture in Henley on Klip - you would have been facing my coffee shop the way you parked - we are fully licensed and serve a mean coffee - next time - Pistol :thumleft:

We were there just after 07h10 and waited till 07h30 to see if somebody would pitch to open the shop, but as it was the day after new year we suspect no one was working and set off to the dam....thanx for the info,,,next time will it definitely be. :thumleft:
