This is my first ride report ever. Ill keep the words to a min, and give you all lots of photos. Let me know if you have any questions regarding the ride.
The Marico oog was an amazing spot to swim in after a log dusty ride. And we had the camp site to our selves which made for a quite but very cold night.

2x Dr650 pigs mine (blue tank) stock standard, @MichaelFel's is far from stock :)

Day 2 - 350km
The road from Marico Oog to marico dam was the best of the trip amazing views varying terrain and would be a real challenge in the rainy season.
After the Marico dam we hit some quiet tar to get back south and do the boons to Hekpoort dirt which was also a great section of dirt.

The great section of dirt going from the oog to groot marico, bit of a mini mountain pass.
