Hando & Nicol had a Moerse lot of fun playing really nicely around all the corners up the pass & by the time I got back on my bike & chased after them,.... they were looooong gone up the pass & started scouting around for a nice spot to take advantage of the truly AWESOME views from up there.

Here is a shot I took on the back of the pass overlooking "Beaverlac" & the road I continued on to catch-up to both H & N.

Caught up to the guys & Hando suggested following a track he found leading off the road, which took us to this spot with a FRIKKING Stunning panoramic view overlooking the Swartland Fields down below.

Another close-up shot of the "STIG" :peepwall: before we headed off in the direction of Eindekuil. A little further down the road, Hando found a really cool spot to snap a really old broken building, here under these trees.
