Nice photos, and it's going to be easier finding Piet Skiet than to find a nicer bunch of riders than this.

True story for those who wonder who Piet Skiet was ask any local in and around Piketberg and the will say, Nai hy kruip nog weg in die berge!

Some went a parallel route back to Goedverwacht which was extremely loose and rocky, much worse than the way up. And some (myself included) borrowed the key to the Eskom/Telkom road from a technician we met at the tower and took the easier way down. I was surprised - it's 8.5km from the tower across the mountain to the tar road. If you ever get access to that road, please be careful. It sports some of the sharpest, unexpected, little corners you could imagine!

Yes it runs along the top and then plummets down to Goedverwacht

Nice!
Sal nogals lekker wees as 'n mens in die somer sommer daar kon oorslaap op die berg
Was daardie klipperige opdraand pad baie styl?

The way up is moderately difficult as far as the trees and fountain. After that it becomes quite a bit more difficult. Not so much so that Leftless needed to put his feet out, but the rest of us sukkeled a bit.
We should also remember that this sensitive area is either in private ownership or is gemeente grond. Either way one should keep unauthorised intrusions quick and low-key. It would not be a good idea to light a fire and the obvious camping spot is 220m directly above the village of Wittewater.

Hello Doppies, welcome to the forum.
That's a most generous offer and I'll certainly take you up on it. Leftless, Andy660 and I have been looking at old and forgotten roads in the Cape.
I've been wanting to explore the roads on the Piketberg for a long time. The road up from Steenebrug looks fantastic, and there's also the track down to Moutonshoek from Moutonsvlei which might still be "rybaar". Stay in touch.
Jammer vir die Engels maar my Afrikaans is verskriklik rof!
