Long Way Round to the Buff

[Zeff Cowboy]

I wanted to go to the Free state bash but could not get off so i made other plans....

Lets go to the Buff in Mossel Bay....

Me, GreenMambabirthdate, Rone and Wife left PE on Friday at 15:00....

Me and Greenmamba went to Oudtshoorn for free accommodation because we had plans to ride some gravel on the way to the buff.

Pics: On our way to Oudtshoorn.

On Saturday morn we left for Calitzdorp via the cement road.

We went past the De Hoop Church and took some pics....

We had really nice weather.... visibility was great.

From Calitzdorp we went over the Huisrevier pass.

I had a chance to see what the GS can really do.... 

Wow i am impressed with this bike's allround happy making ability...  :thumleft:

 

[Zeff Cowboy]

After the Huisrivier pass it was time for the Sewe-weeks-poort.

Sewe weeks poort is just like the Meirings poort only diffs it is gravel....

Quite lekker to ride it....

I came back through with some speed.  :ricky: :ricky:

All Seweweeks poort  :thumleft:

Some old buildings on the Great Karroo side of the poort....

Wonder what they were...

The donkeys were scared of my funny yellow camel  :laughing4: :laughing4: :laughing4:

We had lunch and a beer in Ladysmith.

From Ladysmith we Travelled to Van Wyk's dorp via gravel road.

It was absolutely beautiful.... although a bit hot...

GS performed well on the gravel hiway.

We stopped for a drink in Van Wyk's dorp.....

Kanneland kantien.... the place where i had my one and only punture with my KLR.

 

[Zeff Cowboy]

From van Wyks dorp we traveled along the gravel all the way to Herbertsdale and then Mosselbay.

Some of the spots look alot like Namibia...

 

[Zeff Cowboy]

The road runs next to the popular Attekwas kloof..... would like to go back there one day.

We carried on to Herbertsdale.

We met some more gravel lovers next to the road on there way to the buff.

The last pic from me  :'( My cell phone battery died shortly after we arrived at the buff campsite.

 

[Zeff Cowboy]

On the way back we rode the seven passes from George....

We met up with fellow Cape Town Wilddogs and we went through the Bloukrans pass only to see Michnus swimming in the pool....

We stopped at the Ferry hotel for a few beers to end off a perfect weekend....

Thanks all the went..

You know what??

I never thought the bike would be so much fun on gravel...

I always had the idea because it is so big the guys buy it to enjoy the tar and ride in comfort at high speed..... not entirely true... The GS is a load of fun on gravel... even in the tight stuff... after i sorted the braking... the fun started :ricky:
