Ama,Leo, count me in if you okes want to do it.
The ideal bike for something like that is a 640 Katoom (yum yum!) or a oldish XR600.
Something that you can drop without remorse. And drop it you will. Many times.
We rode next to the sandy tracks for a while (sorry for the Greenies here), and the amount of meerkat-gate is astonishing. The loaded-up pig would sometimes just sag into the ground for no reason, and then it took a quick throtte blip and some agressive riding to keep the momentum.
That's how I dropped her the first time. Front wheel just sank into the ground (I presume it was one of the many meerkat-gate)
It would be an amazing trip to ride those trails for a couple of days. Very tough, but memorable.

I recently stumbled across this classic Luckystriker & co report. What an awesome ride it was, captured with stunning pictures.
This area is certainly currently my favourite place to ride in SA.
And I love this pic:
So much so that I have decided to ride there myself to take one too. :biggrin:
