Keirider
Pack Dog
Monday, browsing through ride reports saw Jamaj was looking for somebody to do a 3 day ride starting the next day. Spoke to Swambo, she said go for it. Contacted Jamaj and told him I am in. We arranged that we would meet at my place in Kei Mouth the next morning.
Started to pack and check the bike etc. Problem, the last time I used the bike I switched it off with the kill switch but forgot to turn ignition off so battery is flat and will not recharge.
Panic stations. Phone bike shop in East London, yes they have one. Paid by eft and organized with Jamaj to pick it up and bring it out with him.
Next morning he arrives and we introduce ourselves. That's what's great about WD's. Two guys who have never met are about to set out on a 3 day ride together.
Put battery in bike and packed tent etc.
Start to plan our ride. Decide there are no plans. Want to be in Coffee Bay in 2 days time, will see where the road leads us.
Our navigation aids are a map bought over the internet and the gps maps on our phones.
Had a good ride up to Centani and then Willowvale. There we decided to head for the camp site at Dwesa.
Bikes at Dwesa gate.
Camp site R200 per night. There is no electricity at sites or in the toilets. So when the sun sets it is really dark. Could not buy wood for a braai. At that price I think there should be some facilities.
Found a shabeen a few k's away and went and got some dop for the evening.
Set up camp and had bully beef and 2 minute noodles for supper.
