Thanks to all the riders this past week was a adventure always nice to meet new  riders. Thanks for all the good pics.

Hey Dylan (got the spelling right ;D) welcome to the forum.

Now that looks adventurous!  Well done for going back and getting it done!

Big tick next to that one. Think it's time to get a heavy bike again and stick to Free State Freeways

It was very lekker sharing our 'back-yard' with you guys. Nice meeting and hoping this might be the first of many more rides. Thanks Jack and Dylan for showing us that there are BMW riders who can really ride and not just pose  ot: En Evert op daardie Sertao!

Well done! Still one of my favourite passes. Letsi is also beatiful and in a Swiss type setting. Very few have the privilage of seeing it.  :thumleft:

Gorgeous photos!

Why is it so overgrown now? Are cars not allowed through there anymore?

4x4 only and very rarely (if ever) because of a wash away just after the border restricting access to two wheels only.

Well done guys, nice trip.

A bunch of adventure riders from Ladybrand tried this pass March 2013, it was wet and muddy. We got about 500m from the (spectacular) border post, but after sending a Garth to try the first climb (he turned back immediately) we all decided to head for Mata.

Anyone thinking of riding Ongeluksnek, try your best to do it in such a way so that you camp next to Lake Letsie. It's really one of the best experiences of my life and I hate camping!!

No car is ever going up there unless it has a couple of JATO bottles strapped on.
Experience 4x4 drivers only.

Stuart, we are actually going up there at the end of April with Land Cruisers- Annual Land Cruiser Club event which started in Kokstad area called "Cruiser Cup"

Shouldn't have any hassles unless it gets wet.

Cruisers won't have any problem there. Make sure you don't take any Landys with  ot:
