Exploring Western SA - preliminary routes...

[OomD]

So my last long trip ended up a short one after my off, and I've now recovered enough to have another go at it. I did my own sort-of TSAT, or rather "Around SA" trip clockwise and ended somewhere between Oudtshoorn and Calitzdorp.

So this time I want to go anti-clockwise from PTA. I have 10 or 12 days or so, and try and include as many mountain passes and legendary routes/places as possible. Here's my (very)short list...

• Hotazel
• Putsonderwater
• Augrabies
• Verneuckpan
• Sutherland (with a night tour of the observatory)
• Tankwa
• Doringriver crossing with SAS willehond (where exactly is this crossing?)
• Agulhas - maybe
• Ouberg pass
• Old Postal Route (still verboten?) 

I'd appreciate any input for places to stay, and must-do routes/passes to ride. Planning for 7..19 March.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Preliminary route shown, about 4500kms.
