Getting stuck in Eswatini

A short report of another epic ride in Swaziland wit @Just Blip It!

 

[Noneking]

I was a bit sick most of the week and was not planning on doing any riding. Mark convinced me otherwise with promises of an easy ride on a route he is taking some GS Riders in a couple of weeks

We left Nelspruit early morning and headed for Josefsdal border post

All good, as long as he shares the footage

As per usual, it doesn’t take long for Mark’s easy ride to turn into a workout of note…..

We come across a washed away bridge. Dropping into the stream is easy enough, but we need the locals’ to help get bikes out on the other side

I see some cancelations coming up from the propeller gang

Must have been hard work diggings the bikes out the quicksand .
It’s bad enough when that happens on an enduro bike

kyk graag

We give the locals a few rands and continue on our route

We climb into the mountains and encounter light drizzle and fog
