My Solo Bushveld Trip

[skydiver]

I decided to go for a ride during November. I heard of this road from a work colleague and it turned out to be a nice scenic trip.
1.The first section was corrugated but I noticed a turn off and decided to go explore even though I did not know where I would end up.
2.Leaving the tar and finally on my way.

My aim was to get to those mountains in the background.

 

[skydiver]

It was eerily quiet on this stretch of road. I did not see any vehicle or person anywhere.

 

[skydiver]

The views were fantastic.

:sip:

 

[skydiver]

The road started to drop down into a valley.

 

[skydiver]

This notice on a farm gate really warned everyone not to enter.

 

[skydiver]

The snaking road winded past all the farms.

At this intersection the gravel changed from a reddish/brown to a white/beige colour.

 

[skydiver]

A small stream was flowing after the recent rains but the water had a funny looking green colour.

 

[skydiver]

Here I started the climb out of the valley.

 

[skydiver]

Up on the next rise, I noticed Ysterberg in the distance.

 

[skydiver]

A huge gate to keep unwelcome visitors out.

Some farmers really made sure the entrances to their farms were clearly visible.

 

[skydiver]

What, a train in the middle of nowhere??  :biggrin:

 

[skydiver]

When crossing the railway line I noticed the service road next to the train tracks. This will be explored soon.

 

[skydiver]

This name left no doubt as to where I was at that moment.

 

[skydiver]

An impressive entrance to a farm.

 

[skydiver]

No longer a farm house. Used as stables of some sort.

This was a very nice trip with varied road surfaces and the lack of vehicles and people made it quite enjoyable. I only passed one bakkie and two pedestrians during the entire trip. 

Excuse the photo quality...they were taken with my cellphone
