Harties,Canals,Beestekraal,Jericho Rock,Tswaing Crater RR

[Herminator]

Saw the Tswaing Crater on Google Maps and before you know it
the ride was organised

Awesome riding with lekker okes and no incidents

The Group


and Me, the good looking one

 

[Herminator]

Canals was very nice, we did 1 sewerage and 2 water crossings,
Apparently there were some close calls I know I myself had one with a double whoop and sudden
left turn


The Stars of the Show, was a mini thumper fest, There was a KTM 990
No picture of the KTM though

 

[Herminator]

After Canals we hit Beestekraal, which was a good option because there were
no food places further up ahead
There were lots a GS's at Beestekraal but they were all spotlessly clean
and do not deserve photos





Chow Time

Titanic started to get all nervous because of the route planned to Jericho rock
Some hectic sand/rut combos that cost Greg his headlamp cover

But if you klap it at 70kphs it smooves out, Saw Titanics bike doing a couple
of Disco moves ahead of me, which was nice because it showed me which line
NOT to take :lol8:

Jericho rock was lekker with a gnarly route to the top, I thought this looks
to hectic, but then I just said to myself, "Dont think, just GO" and up we went

Very nice  :thumleft:

Se bietjie wie is die ouens om die tafel. Ek het al vir jou en ook vir CHorse ontmoet.

:ricky:

 

[Herminator]

Onto Tswaing Crater
With some more of that sand/rut stuff, but by now everyone was a bit more relaxed
I plotted a route with basecamp from JR to Tswaing shortest route and we ended up
coming into the back of Tswaing

The security oke says, "Which road did you come in on?"
We said that one and pointed to the sandy bumpy mess we road in on
He just shook his head and said you need to buy tickets

Backwards and forwards on a road with some nice deep patches of sand
Saw Titanic dance a couple of times again and had a good chuckle almost
moering over myself

Drove straight past the boom and road into the crater






And thats that nice couple of hours riding and an awesome way to spend a Sunday

Looks like you guys had an awesome ride! Nice.

Are the tickets for the crater sold at the gate? Or is there an office or such nearby?

We entered from the Shosanguve side, or better known as "the bad road". At the first office we were directed to the proper gate. We rode there, got our permits at R20 a head and then went back to show them and then proceeded to ride down to the crater.

Yep, that there was Sandrot on the KTM, Chukudeer very sadly missed the ride because is sadistic buds forced him to go ride lap after lap at Wild West until he puked in his helmit.... next time!  :'(
