Hi TVB
Brilliant article. Have to take the old Tenere up there sometime.
I dont know if this is a stupid question but can you go from SA through Lesothu, over SP and into KZN or is it better just to go up to the top from KZN and come back down again.

Hi Bill sure you can but going down only is for sissies. Really easy to do. The UP part is where more skills are required.

Meneer die Visarend, as julle twee op Sani opgaan word daar gestaan of gesit.  Dit is my volgende ding wat ek wil doen....vroutjie saamvat, maar bietjie bang vir twee op.

Things go wrong if you don't get TC off

Jy bang.  ???

Dis makliker as wat jy dink, met tye staan ons en dan sit ons, instink neem oor en voor jy weet is jy bo.  Met die eerste keer wat ons Sani gedoen het dit amper gelyk soos julle hom nou gedoen het, toe staan ons meeste van die tyd, maar ek het met die laaste keer wat ons dit gedoen het toe die klippe erg los was en daar diep slote uitgespoel was, meeste van die keer gesit.  Wat ek wel agtergekom het is dat as jy nie staan nie, moet jou voete altyd op die pegs wees of so gou moontlik pegs toe gaan.  Dis maar hoe ons dit doen, of dit reg of verkeerd is, ek weet nie, wat ek wel weet, dit het sover gewerk vir ons.

Ek moet net weer se, ek is erg jaloers oor julle trippie, dit is bevange mooi.  :drif:  :thumleft:   

 

[woody1]

Dankie vir die info.  Ek hou van staan en vind dit makliker oor die ruwe terrein.... nou net vir mammie kry om die beenspiere te oefen.  :bueller:

Baie mooi fotos julle, dus hoekom ek eers ons land wil verken.

Thanks Mate, I would suggest to do it both up and down in one day. When you go up you don't realize how steep and tough climb it is. Coming down is like wearing glasses when you need it...it is quite a revelation and the view is spectacular, you jut have to do a up and down!! You can always turn around just before the SA border post and go back up and procceed all the way to the Katse dam!!  You better plan and do it, the lady at the hotel told us the very day we went up SANI that the paperwork is signed, they are going to put asphalt all the way soon. This time they say it is for real :deal:

Thanks Woody. Going to plan a trip soon

 

[woody1]

TVB. A Push and a STOOT are 2 different things ha ha

Dankie vir die lekkerlees en -kyk verslag, Tom! Julle het omtrent "trein gery"!  Sani is a special adventure, not because it is so difficult (although respect to anyone who takes one of the big bikes up!) but because the views and scenery are so stunning. But then, most of Lesotho is just great adventure riding from what I have seen and heard.

A few years ago, I bought a little book in a bookshop in Clarens, all about the history of Sani Pass, the people who lived there, traded in the area, and the building of the pass as we know it.  Fascinating.  I'm sure that tarring it is "progress", not sure of the direction however...  :-\

Wou die een nog inslip... I LOVE my bike..
