Solo trip from Pta to Nelsprit !

[madmike999]

good enough now,

on with the road i hit tar, thats okay "dis hoe dit is met Mike" , and refuel in Stoffberg, resting the ass, i saw thes two trucks,

one pulling and one pushing. What that is they are moving, this photographer does not know. Impressive, hell yea.

from Stoffberg it's on towards Lydenburg via the little dirt road leading from outside Stoffberg to dullstroom. What a road from heavy washed out single track to some bad rocky mountain pass.  then towards Lydenburg!

 

[madmike999]

from Lydenburg  dirt towards Sodwala caves. Awesome road ended up going the a mix of dirt sections and ended up inside the forests with the mist pulling in. cold and surreal i just had to sit there for a while just taking in the the sights.

that makes this kind of traveling so great. taking roads that are not visited by a 100th of the population. And thats quiet sad.

some more to Nelspruit on the way to Sudwala caves.
