See the day to day breakdown below.

Day 1 Friday afternoon 26 April leaving at Nelson Creek at 15h00
Wellington to Cederberg Oasis. Leisurely drive to Chantal and Gerrit to sample their outstanding hospitality. It’s your call if you want a  500g,  800g T-bone or the spare ribs on your plate that night.
Distance for the day 170 km

Day 2 Saturday 27 April
Cederberg Oasis to Papskuilfontein. Through the Cederberg Valley to Wuppertal and on to “Die Engelsman se graf”. Up Moedverloor past the “Riet huisies” to a place for lunch! After lunch we do the loop down “Skaapie mee” pass and head back to the camp.


Day 3 Sunday 28 April
Papskuilfontein to Klippie. Many hidden valleys are travelled that day with the ever present “Sand monster” traps, ride vigilant and watch for the blind corners.


Day 4 Monday 29 April
Klippie to Verneukpan, The pan is known for its speed record breaking attempts so the group will make their attempts. The winner of the floating trophy will have travelled the slowest over a measured distance.


Day 5 Tuesday 30 April
Verneukpan to Middelpos. After the most amazing sunrise we start our return trip and head for Williston where we visit the “Mall”, have lunch and meander down to the village of Middelpos.
Here one gets the feeling that woman and children get locked away as the sight of 15 to 20 motorcycles entering the main street must be awesome.
Unlike in the Wild West this bar is safe and the friendly people serve us great food. You will sleep in a bed!


Day 6 Wednesday 1 May
Middelpos to Wellington. After a scrumptious breakfast its down the Ganagana pas into the Tankwa Karoo for some great views, riding and lunch!
After lunch like all good things this trip comes to an end but not before crossing the Bokkerivier nature reserve and the famous town of Ceres. Mitchell’s and Bains kloof pass takes us home!

Total distance for trip about 1700 km.
