Hi Ian thanks, I also enjoyed your RR to the Kruger and back. Groete Schalk.

Yep, clear signs of Adventure Infection ... an infliction well documented here and luckily an antidote exists for it but wears off quickly ...

PS: plenty good RR's like this make the symptoms tollerable.

;D

Hi again Schalk.
We certainly have a way of doing the same rides  :thumleft:. Hopefully one day we will get our timing right and meet along the way.
Loved your Coffee Bay /Hole in the Wall photies as we spend a lot of time in this area.
If you ever want to do a more coastal route check out my RR called "Welcome to the Wildcoast".
A magical place. Makes one realise that we don't always have to do long trips to find wonderful places closer to home.

Safe riding!

Hi Karen, yes we have a wonderfull country and what I enjoy here is that you can stop for a coffee or lunch which was not available north of our borders. I am sure you will agree. Regards Schalk

Awsome - Spent many a weekend at Coffee bay

The wild coast (not the larnie casino) is God's own country :thumleft:

the hole in wall been my annual phuchansie spot for last 3 years... me n mrs put plastic on trailer and utilise our timeshare to swap for hole in wall ..love that spot ..used to spend much time around there in the bad old days helping the farmers deplete their harvests then the banditry etc chased me away and now in the late summer of life i have rediscovered one of most lovely spots in the world....very hard life for locals though
