So.....Who is next for the hell road??   :patch:

I'd still like to see someone do it as a marathon event up the sandy coast road and back on dirt somewhere in the hinterland. Now THAT would be ballsy.  :mwink:
BlueBull, daai klink na 'n bakgat plan, ek dink ons moet bietjie werk daaraan, ek was al daar op 'n 4x4 trip maar nog nie daar af nie, en ek WIL daar af... maar die span moet reg wees. Great RR oom Daan, uithouvermoë se moer :imaposer:
 
Baie mooi fotos julle.

Danie & Gideon:  we completed our northern Cape meander, including your infamous Road to Hell.  I'll post a complete RR in the 4x4 section in due time, but here are some photies of the RtH. We descended on Wednesday 27-06-2012 and made our way back up the next morning. The ascent was truly hell.  The last 1.4km took us 2.5 hours.

I looked out for your rock art, but regrettably did not see it. However can confirm your tracks are still there as evidence of your trip. The only vehicle tracks we saw looked about a year old, so probably Jacko and his photographer in their luxury 4x4...

All I can say (having done it) is that you guys have my utmost respect and that anyone should think twice before trying it. I will not be surprised if this road claims a life or two in the future (especially with so many 4x4s around).

Ja, dink ek was biki onnosel om dit te doen. Het myself so biki beskuie op plekke...
 
...jis man ek wil graag die roete ry, maar dis 'n toss-up of dit met die 2.7 of die swaar yster sal wees, hoe dit ook al daaruit sien, dit sal nie alleen wees nie :deal:
 
Roxens, baie mooi fotos, en dit wys baie beter as ons fotos hoe rof dit daar is.
Weskus, jy moet maar se wanneer jy wil ry? :mwink:

Ja moet se daai fotos van Roxens is hekties, dit wys regtig hoe erg die pad is.

Janee Dan ,nieteenstaande al jou bollie oor BMW's,  kan jy darem behoorlik bike ry , jy en Gideon albei.  Respek.  :thumleft: :thumleft:
 
Nice report Oom Daan.

Ek het nie besef hoe erg die RTH nou eintlik is nie tot ek Roxens se fotos gesien het - respect!!
