My first Ride Report - 2 nights in the Cederberg

[cloudgazer]

We're gonna be doing the same thing next week.

Gonna ride to Driehoek ( a few kms after Sanddrif) and spend the night there.
On day 2 we'll do the road to Whuppetal and Clanwilliam doing the same route as you, and back to Driehoek.
It's quite a big circular route.

How long did it take you?

Did the exact same route from Driehoek last December with my son, we left around nine-ish, took it easy, shopped from some Christmas prezzies in Wupperthal and visited the velskoen factory, had lunch in Clanwilliam, weathered a storm on our way back and were back around 16:00 (I think)

Excellent!
Thanks for that.
Getting real excited.

So Wes, when are you posting your pics  ???

 

[the_wes]

Geez, talk about impatient  :deal:

Here are some of my pics, they follow the same order as Karl's, and most of them speak for themselves so I'll keep the words to a minimum...

As I promised myself, I packed light...

And I had a new tent, which I had to figure out first...

...and is tiny inside...

Karl, on the other hand, chose to live in the lap of luxury

I apologise, there are a lot!

It's amazing what you can fit into a jacket's back pocket - boerewors, 1l energade bottle, 1l coke

Packing up and heading home

Stunning ride, bought the same tent the other day

Good stuff guys, and lovely pics.
This report is great encouragement to get out there.
Agree with the water comment: I was stuck out there once in the summer without water and it wasn't funny.

Very nice ride report - and the pics really make a difference too.  Planning a similar trip soon...

I think travelling so light is brilliant! As a matter of interest, what did you NOT take that you feel you should have?
