Day 1    319km
Wepener, Sepapus gate, Malealea, Maputseng, Aalwynskop, Tellebridge, Landeane's nek pass, War trail pass, Tiffendell

We left Weppener at 8 am and entered Lesotho at Sepapus gate. Immedialtely got of the tar and followed a 2 spoor all the way to Malealea where we had something to eat and drink. From there we followed the gravel road south and took a single spoor "shortcut" to Maputseng where we did a river crossing.
We refueled at Aalwynskop and exit Lesotho at Telebridge.
We followed the river all along Lesotho's border up Landean's nek and the War Trail and reached Tiffendel at 7pm.
The food at Tiffendell was excellent.

Day 2      217km
Tiffendell to Matat hugging the Lesotho border as far as possible

We went up Ben McDhui, they say at 3001m it is the highest pass in the country.
After brekfast we took the TT route along the border to Tenahead where we met up with Ashley (Abruigom on the forum) , the manager at  Tenahead. He organised 5 litres of fuel for each of us. Thanks Ashley :thumleft:
From there down Naude's nek and past Phillips rust were we entered Telly Tubby land and went down an unknown pass.
We followed the 2 spoor all the way to Matatielle. It rained all around us but somehow the rain missed us.
