My journey to the EC bash started on Thursday at 12:00, leaving home in the rain.
The rain was my companion all the way on the N1 south to Kroonstad where it started to clear. I stayed the night at my brothers’ place in Bloemfontein. He is a lurking member who initially planned to come along but had to cancel due to work commitments.
On Friday morning I left around 09:00 from Bloem, staying in the boring N1 as I was travelling alone and experienced thick mist around Colesberg. The weather started to clear close to Noupoort where a memorial moment took place…
Some pic’s on the way down
I found the road between Willowmore and Steytlerville very interesting and had to stop for a photo.
The turn-off to the bash venue, clearly market by Watty.
The entrance to the campsite, again clearly market.
A Wild Dog over a patch where the mud monster caught me out the next day..
Photo’s of the camp site
The view from my mansion
BoJ arriving on the Vuka
From here till Sunday morning the camera was lost. It was nice to meet the different people from the WC and EC and to place faces and personalities to the forum names.
Sunday morning, ready for the long way back and the sun was shining after the previous day’s rain and hail.
Some pictures on the way back.
I filled up in Aberdeen. The book says the tank takes 33 liters
I wonder what this guy is thinking off….
I was pleasantly surprised to see the family name around.
Sunday night I again stayed over in Bloem to return home on Monday.
The GPS stats say it all….
Thanks Watty for all the arrangements. The hot showers were a blessing. It was nice to meet all the Wild Dogs from the South. Hope to see you again soon.
