Day 3:

Halfway through the night I was woken by the sound of rain. "O shucks, is the Checkers special going to hold up?" I thought. I closed the flap which I had left open, put in my earplugs, and fell asleep again. Early morning the rain cleared up, and one after the other the dogs rose. Kilroy was quite a site for sore eyes in his red little number which looked like it was stuffed with a few potatoes. ;D

We rode around Hogsback, and then went for a lekker breakfast at Ninas. Ball&Chain was going to look for fairies & pixies, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to go for a ride. "Let's go to Katberg Pass, it's only 26km as the crow flies, 56km by road" Watermat said. It sounded like an easy ride, so off the three of us went while briv stayed close to home base to attend to the spit.

We found michnus, metaljockey & co at Seymour, and followed them to the hotel for something to drink. B&C, Watermat and myself set off for the pass, halfway up we ran into another group that came from the other way. We stopped for photos, and then tackled the rest.

This was seriously slow territory, I did not want to break anything here. First gear most of the way, idling over the rocks and through the holes. This was not a place to loose momentum or stop, you just had to continue. We all made it safely to the top, where we stopped for some photos.

Then the three of us set off towards Whittlesea, where we fuelled and set off to homebase via some gravel. We arrived at Hogsback about 17:30, and saw that the spit had taken on a new meaning.

We were really hungry after a nice long ride, and settled in for the evenings festivities.

En waar was jy, sodat ek bietjie met jou kon gesels oor wat jy dink jy met my ma gedoen het, he   Ek hoop en glo dit moes n PUI flater gewees het

Good, so now we are at the begining of the awsome trip back ;D. B+C and Nicki got up early, did not seem to have any after afects from all the Zammas and Brannas they consumed the night before ( They can.. talk kark with a few down the hatch).

Watermat decided that he was going to shoot home one skat, thus he left us early and shot on. (believe he had some kark with his rear brakes, they siezed up or something )

Just to show that my lekker seat skaap vel is a lekker cusion at night ;D

We took the shortest route with the prefrance of dirt roads back, and Peter Stywes and Scribble had the same idea. They rode faster but had more smoke breaks, thus we saw them often. Yellow Fever and his pose was also on the same mission, so we ran into them to. ;D We decided to stay in Prince Albert and hook up with the YF gang but missed them.
Why? My gps sent B+C in a direction and there was no stopping the Cappo >. Nicki and  I decided his got a gps, and is big enough, he'll find us some where + Scribble and Peter will hook him and guide him to Willowmore.

It turned out that the German pose I sent after him also found him, with a flat tyre, : after Scribble pluged the hole we were all reunited in Willowmore over a beer.
De Rust,was our over night as PAlbert was dark riding.

After a lekker swim at the Chalets and a good meal at "Harry se Bar" we hit the sack.

The next day riding was again awsome .....

Rustige lewe in Ouberg pass, oubaas farmer

And back home beeeefonkte trip is all I can say  ;D

Thus another year is 911 and we wait for next years BASH !!!

Lyk my die varkie is sleg behandel. Shame, sy arme beentjie.... ???

Nice report, thanks Briv.
Very pretty piccies.

That did the AT give you fuel consumption wise?

 

[briv]

Kaboef feul consuption was between 15-20k's a lit. the 20 k's was a slow relaxed cruise on dirt with the wind behind on the gravel rd between Meirings poort to Willowmore, I did not do a calculation overall but just vinnige, while filling up calcs... we were on the bash you know : so whats a extra 2 tanks of petrol ;D

 

[Kaboef]

Dis goeie petrolverbruik. Veral as jy vat dit was 2-up met luggage.

 

[briv]

Yes last year I got 10 k's / lit to Barrydale doing flat box to catch you guys 150-165 thursty buger then  :

 

[Kaboef]

Haha! Same here.
I got about 11 or 12km/l to Barrydale last year. Headwind and some rather inspired riding can cause an AT to be HEAVY on the juice.
