Further adventures of monkeyboy and MissM

[MissM]

Despite the pumping wind, monkeyboy and myself decided to go for an afternoon ride to the Hottentots Holland Nature Reserve.

Distance: 45 minutes
Difficulty: any level you desire
Grin Factor: huge

We found an entrance just after Sir Lowry's Pass and in we went. An awesome combination of gravel, sand, rocks, water, trees, and beautiful scenery. Plus we only encountered 1 other person in a bakkie. Not bad for a 4 hour afternoon!  :ricky:

There are main gravel roads that you can travel on, but then around every corner are these little side routes which range from fairly easy to anything you want really! Mind the eroded areas on some little pathways... and avoid the snakes too! Apparently I startled one, and it went for monkeyboy. Woopsies....

Starting area

A 4x4 route we found. I want to go back and do it, as we didn't go too far with the clouds looking ever so ominous, and me dropping the bike a couple of times....

Another area I dropped the bike in.

Monkeyboy is thinking: Stop with the photos woman and ride!

Monkeyboy about to go across. I decided to go around this time. Can't be drowning the Dommie again!

He is there, I promise.

Definitely will be going back. What an afternoon!

:ricky:

Please keep taking photos, MissM. Sorry, Monkeyboy!

That last photo, of Monkeyboy going through the water, is incredible!

It is pretty cool. Poor boy was soaked at the other end! I, sadly, chose to go around it.  :xxbah:

[MissM]

How come you get capitol letters and him lower case....... ;D

Simple answer really: his forum name is spelled with a lower case "m"  :laughing4:

TAKE THAT!  :imaposer:

Yeah, we are SOOOO lucky in Cape Town. I try to get out every single weekend, as monkeyboy and myself are planning a 2 and a half week trip to the Transkei in December. Got to get the practice in!

Nice RR! Love that last pic!

Esh, dont want to be a party pooper, but that is Mto forestry grounds, and if the wrong guy catches you there  you would have big troubles. I have done the 4x4 route and you need a permit for that, and the permit states no motorcycles allowed.

Woopsy Daisies. Good thing we didn't get caught, then.  :sip:

Just finished a 7 day trip and we took it as it came, but seriously needed some practice beforehand!  It is essencial!!  Nice rr though, and good going!
