Jis Dawgs, ons is veilig terug. Die wat beplan om binnekort soontoe te gaan, vra maar die vragies! Vir die RR sal julle nog so week of wat moet wag, moet eers al die foties by die ander Comrades kry.
Lekker kwyl solank!

Ladies and Gents,  I give you the trip off all trips.

7 October 2011. 5 guys and a girl left on a trip to Lesotho and the Eastern Cape.
We trailored the bikes to Cradock and from there the fun began!
The group consisted of from left to right:
Pieter, Roela(SD),  Jannie,  Michelle,  Jhonno (a local) Jakes and Frehan

The route was planned as follows.
Day 1 Cradock to Hogsback- Distance 247km
We went via Lake Arthur, Kommandodrift dam, the family farm Sewefontein that Jakes grew up on that was sadly lossed due to terrible droughts many years back.
Then we went over Katberg and through the Katberg forest station. Through Balfour and turning off at Seymore going through Mitchells pass to Hogsback.  Easy we thought!
 
Meeting the guys on the road before Graaff Reinette

Michelle has this thing for vetplantjies and she collects them wherever she goes! Sort of live memories.

We had a braai and just kicked off our shoes for a while.

We also went to the old graveyard, a few silent moments there.

Gee kans mater! Om hierdie foto's te resize vat my 'n jaar, dan gooi die komper die goed nog uit volgorde ook!
Ek kan lekker met my hande beduie maar andersom neuk dit maar!
 
Onthou net, dit was 'n rowwe aand die vorige gewees! :imaposer:
