[LuckyStriker]

Lekker ride pallies
glad you all got home safe and the water was not too nasty

pity about the bobbejaantjie...Butch probably aimed for it...sies!

 

[BoJangels]

nice report!
I saw a bunch of guys on bikes filling up at one of the petrol stations in Knysna, could it have been you guys?
and I agree, the Blouberg Pass is beautiful....if you are ever in this area dont miss this pass

Some of my picsâ?¦

Contrary to popular believe, spring is upon us:


Masehare, tackling the Rooiberg pass head on:


Just4kix got his finger stuck in the Wet Wipe lid. Apparently it hurts.


The crapper at our camp site in the kloof:


And what is the kloof without the water crossings?


Unfortunately, the picture just doesnâ??t do justice to the views:


Again, you have to be there to appreciate some of the climbs:


Gideon, you have competition:


Apparently thereâ??s a Geocache on this corner:


Napier. No comment:

Another few pics from my trip, before I joined these guys:

Prince Albert is a really nice place, stayed there for a night before we went into â??die Helâ?

Lekka accommodation in Die Hel

Lekka drinks in Die Hel

Lekka home cooked food in Die Hel

Two best bikes in the world:

Some snow on top of the pass, well at least a little bit

It was cold aswell

Montagu pass

Think this is Avontuur pass

Baviaanskloof

Our accommodation, well worth it

Inside the cave

Shall we try this one more time:

Hi Yellowfever nice pics can you remember where you did the water crossing and where was the cave you stayed in. Nice report ???

 

[Trailrider]

Nice report! I'd also like some info on that cave.

Sad to say, but the baboon passed away on the scene of the accident.  :'(  We all stopped, bowed our heads in a moment of silence and the Butch did the honours of picking it up by the arm & legs and gave it a good heave into the bushes. RIP little buddy.

BUT seriously, if the baboon was a few kg's heavier it could have caused a major accident.    Restecp to Christof who kept a cool head.

 

[Kev]

Baboon-tossing? Nee jong, this I would have like to see! ;D  A new sport for the African Olympics?

Hey Keith,

Most of the water crossings were on the Patensie side of the kloof coming from Cape Town. The crossings were great fun. The accomodation is called BAKKRANS, the details are at the bottem of the board on that one pic I posted. Super nice, they also delivered some nice food that you just need to braai.

The last 3 river crossing photos where taken at a place called Smitskraal.(33 deg 39 min 59 sec S ;  24 deg 23 min 03 sec E). The river is the Baviaans River.
