Ja nee, dit lyk my hierdie is n pad vir HPN's en KLR's.
Dit lyk asof julle ouens in die winter daar deur is. Daar was een kort stukkie wat my nogal bekommerd gehad het as ons sou moes omdraai. Dit was so om en by 30 meter van fyn gruis en die agterbrieke was "locked-up" al die pad tot onder. Ek was nie so seker of dit moontlik sou wees om weer hier uit te ry nie, net te glibberig en styl.
 
Ja, dit was verlede jaar die tyd, maar daai turf het ons goed opgedonner, daar was n moerse donnerbui deur in die middel van die winter, die KTM kon net nie, staan net stil in die turf, die KLR het later tot by die klein mission (skoolkie) gekom, die ander twee het ondertoe by daai klein stroompie gekamp. En daar is bogarol hout! Maar lekker!
 
Dankie vir die fotos Kwis. Lekker om te sien daar is nog mense wat daai deel van Lesotho gaan
verken het. Dustdevil het sy bedenkinge, maar ek dink dit is moontlik om van Semonkong na
Mantsonyane te ry. Die geheim is om dit in twee dae te doen en dit rustig te vat. Easy does it.
 
Lesotho might not be a ten thousand miles away and it might not be a vast country but there is something
really special about the place. Over the last four years I have become completely obsessed with Lesotho.
Alongside the hospitality of the Basotho Nation, Lesotho provides a riding heaven that caters for anybody
from a guy on a Superbike on his way to see Katse Dam to okes on Plastic Bikes looking for the ultimate
off road challenge and in-between some Adventure Riders wanting to see where the Plastic Bikes went.  :peepwall:

Two years ago John's and my own attempt to explore this Mountain Kingdom partially failed because of poor
planning and the wrong attitude. Since then I was very lucky to meet Sack and Dustdevil. Both of them were
inspired by the video that followed from the trip John and I did. Both of them has the right attitude, spirit and
riding skills to make a trip like this not only possible but also a great adventure.

In time I hope to be riding with them beyond the borders of South Africa and bring back the story to share
here with you lot. Thank you for watching and sharing in the adventure.
