I only decided the Monday before the bash that I would be going. Apie saw my name on the list and phoned me and
said he is joining me. We picked a route of roads that would keep us busy for two days up and two down.
Thursday morning 8:00 ready to roll. Had to meet Apie in George. Some dirt some tar to get there. 140kms.
Ja even the dog is happy to see me leave!!
Monague Pass. There was a fine drizzle. Everything looked bright and clean.
Through Herold and took the Buffilsdrift or Paardepoortroad to Uniondale.
Farmers are putting old car tyres on the fences to protect the ostriches against hurting themselves.
These two ladies said they do not know any Wilddogs only wild hogs :thumleft:
Between Uniondale and Willowmore the heavens opened. Stopped at the hotel and had something to eat while
the rain passed. Took the cementroad to Steytlerville and turned off left to Klipplaat later.
Some slower traffic.
Long and strait roads. The last 30km before Klipplaat was muddy. We both had a scary moment or two.
This little church is one of two. Its in a sad state.
The main attraction in Klipplaat for me was this guy. Fiited a scrambler frontend to his bike!!
Explained to me in detail how he did it.
I asked but why did you do it?( silly question I should have known the aswer)!! :biggrin:
Ma mr hy loop baie lekkerder op die grondpad!!! was the answer. :thumleft:
Custom backbrake!!!
So I ask but does the brake work?
He promptly made a run that resulted into this!!
We had to do the 40kms of tar and some dirt between Klipplaat and Jansenville.
Why they are building a brandnew tarroad to Klipplaat is beyond me. There is nothing!!
On this trip we saw a lot of empty houses and derelict railwaybuildings. Sad how times have changed.
From Jansenville we took a dirt shortcut to Pearston.
What a nice little town close to a mountainridge. It was getting late and we found a tiny room to stay in.
We had a braai and talked a lot. It was a great first day bad weather and all.
To be continued.
