Dis bitter mooi, somer maande is hy nog mooier met als wat groen is so vêr soos die oog sien.
Ek hoop van harte hy het by die uitkykpunt gestop.
Ek het maar bietjie verder af gaan stop
After Lundeans I see the Dangershoek turnoff and ride down the valley track which followes the river. Towering cliffs all over. Due to the time I ride till I get to a cement road with a little Church on the hill then head back

Is dit op die Lundean's Nek pad daai Oom Vis?
Heading through a couple of villages the road runs next to the Lesotho border, on the other side a Qauntum lies in the valley below. There are no barriers and the drop off is quite steap
On this side of the pass the countryside seems drier and the temperatures a couple of degrees hotter. Lots of Aloe’s in the mountain side. Eastern Cape for sure. The view back from where I came
Never underestimate the time needed to ride passes, it is now almost 12 and I have only done 160km for the day. The section from here to Lady Grey is tar so can ride a bit faster. I pass through Tweedespruit, eish not a nice place to be. It’s a sea of people and the only robot in town is broken. Luckily I filter the traffic and get back into open road heading for Lady Grey.
By small town standards Lady Grey still looks good and has a pleasant vibe to it. I still have Jouberts to do and decide to add about 2L of fuel just in case. Getting a cooldrink I head to a quite spot and under a Eucalyptus tree next to the church I take a break
Notice the original Jouberts Pass memorial stone on the museum’s stoep still in Dutch, later on top of the pass I saw a more modern one erected in the early 2000’s
