Here is the route I plan to take,

I think Rommel is travelling with me

Leaving Thursday, Arriving Friday at the Bash

Others may join

Day 1 - About 690  - 700 KM

R355 to Calvinia

From Calvinia take the road to Klipwerf & turn right to connect with the tar road to Brandvlei

Go right toward Sakrivier & travel on the Williston Brandvlei dirt road to Brandvlei

Fill up at Brandvlei

Just outside Brandvlei turn left on the gravel and at Katkop turn right

Gooi for about 16 KM, turm right along the railroad a bit for 5 km and turn left again for about 28 KM

Turn right and after 18 KM turn in at Tierkolk B&B to overnight

Day 2. About 420 KM

Leave Tierkolk B&B & travel dirt to Kakamas past Koebeep (about 150km)

Fill up at Kakamas and gooi dirt toward LutzPuts, then NoeniePut and then turn right after 200KM and ride to the bash site another 90 KM further

The stretches are all under 300km between fuel stops but be sure to plan well & take fuel if need be.

If you want to join - please be self sufficient in terms of water, tools & fuel.

This is a long hard dirt ride through the Karoo & Bushmanland for 2 days. I have done it before solo and you will feel your seat after a while.
