We get to camp early in the afternoon, and everyone starts setting up their sleeping quarters and doing their own thing. Some of the group jumps onto their bikes to visit the famous Manchester United shebeen in Puros, a few kilometres further down the road. I am sore and tired and done with riverbeds, no riding for me, not even for cold beer.
We noticed a few other niggles on the bike at my crash site, and Hardy & Jaco offered to help me fix the bike up. While working on the bike under Hardy’s supervision he laughs at my ten thumbs. In my defence, I wasn’t in the best of conditions! But we sort out the bike and soon its as good as new (okay, not entirely).
For those in the group keen to be spoilt with, probably, one of the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen, we are told to be ready just before sunset: we are going for sundowners on the Jan Joubert Koppie, taking the Cruisers. Suffice to say the view from up there was nothing less than spectacular. The photos and videos can do the talking.
@NIMMO, I took the liberty and used some of your FB photos here. I think some might be Sharon’s as well. Thanks in advance to you both! (Blatant plagiarism, I tell you!)

If you look carefully, you can see two giraffes in the valley down below walking away from the camera.
