Gideon says he needs to get his new Lookwell's dirty, so we're heading out to Thabazimbi on Saturday morning early & be back the Sunday afternoon.
We plan on taking the R101 to Bela-Bela to make up some time, have breakfast, then from there off on dirt to the Donkerpoort dam, do a dirt loop to Vaalwater via Slagtkraal, take the R517 up to Schoongelegen, then dirt past Marakele to Thabazimbi where we'll camp the night, have a braai & get pissed. +/- 386km.
Sunday we spent the day doing the various dirt roads in the area to Rankins, Elandsfontein, Fingerkraal to Klipgat where we join the R511 for a short stint. Then dirt past Middledrift all the way down past the Vaalkop and Rooikoppies dams, Hartebeespoort and back home. +/- 420km.
We'll be taking it easy & just enjoy the ride as there are a lot of game farms along the route. The route is mostly dirt highways with a 1 to 2/5 rating with occasional :wink: sand. Very newbie friendly (I'm usually the first to go down anyway)
Everyone welcome to join us or give suggestions.
