The Oppikoppi Thread - Post your Oppikoppi pictures.........

[DeepBass9]

Last weekend was oppikoppi, so seeing as I had to work on Friday, my wife went through early, and I could go through on the bike  :thumleft:

I took a few snaps on the way, and then a few at Oppikoppi before the beer got the better of me and I forgot to take any more. Anyway, here they are:

The road ahead: The magaliesberg from the Boschfontein road.

Vultures circling over Breedts Nek, looking in the direction of Buffelspoort

Into the Bushveld: A roadside pic near Marikana, Chrome mine in the background

Dimension stone mining north of Marikana

A water crossing believe it or not, in the bushveld in August? What's the world coming to?

The road to Vaalkop dam narrows to almost a 2 track in places

The Bridge over the Elands river into the Vaalkop dam.

Somewhere in the Bushveld.

Our campsite. It is actually possible to avoid camping in the post apocalyptic dust pit that is the rest of the camp site.

A view over the festival from the koppie.

The Sipho Gumede stage, where do you get a better setting that this?

At this point the beer got the better of me and I forgot to take any more photographs, but there are a whole bunch taken by better photographers than myself :

Or try google.

There were quite a few guys on bikes there, the only other DS bike I saw was a Dakar, but people arrived on Goldwing trikes, CBRs, BMW RTs and so on.

The photos are still loading, refresh the page in 10mins.....  Done!


Were any other dogs there?
