PE Dogs to Suur Annysberg river crossing

[Tweetie]

And so it was, after much Christmas festivaties, that Mr-T calls us to saddle up for a braai in the Suur Annysberg area, up in the Kuoga mountains, where there is the "side" entry to the Bavbiaankloof area. Me thinks, Ettiene and Daleen also had something to do with this. THANKS  :thumleft:
We meet at Engen Dias Rd in PE, Monday 27th Dec, and all present are Mr-T (GSA), Ettiene and Daleen(GSA), Keith (KTM990), Danie (1200GS), Beagle Boy(1200GS), Edgehog (1200GS) and myself on a Yammi 400 XT for the day. Its always nice to have “a rose, among the thorns” for the day. Daleen, your presence was appreciated.

Leaving PE we mostly rode the old road all the way to avoid the wind as much as possible. Where I battled in the wind, with the 400, Mr T or Kieth allowed me to slips stream them,(Thanks guys :thumleft Then the compulsory stop at
Engen - Humansdorp

After a real lekker ride, up the valley, east of the Langkloof valley, we descended down to the Kouga river crossing. Mr -T speeding downhill.

The Kouga River crossing at S33 51 12.8 E24 13 21.9 (so says Mr-T's GPS)

Here we halt, saddle off, and braai.

All the bikes

My trusty steed for the day Yammi 400XT (All electric)

The river has this divine pool with a sandy beach. Heaven in the mountains

Beagle Boy, cooling off

This is how Calitzdorp Butchery’s smoked wors is flame grilled (Drool on Guys!!)

The gang, all together (Daleen took the pic)

Right there, is this wonderful patch, with grass and various facilities (we must track the owner/s down!) This is a magic spot for a potential mini-bash. I think we can squeese  20 tents and with a few opposite the rive on the sandy beach maybe 5 or 6. So potentially 30 – 40 people. Ablutions are the only thing we need to look at. Here goes >

Only tree on the patch

And so we had a real lekker day, in the mountains with great riding, and great company. Thanks Mr-T, for the initiative. :thumleft:

Now, I have to threaten you all with mass prosperity for the new year, and “until” next year, remain safe.  :biggrin: :thumleft:
