Hi Guys.
A couple of mates and I try to do an anual trippie. We are two groups, one from the Cape(capetown) and the other from Jo-ies. The trip date was from the third to the twelfth of August. The destination -Transkei via eastern Cape.

Will do the report as time allows and if the other members of this group want to add when they like, do so.

We, the Cape group, Mambat - our fearless leader, KTM 990s. Willie the Pretty one,KTM 990R. Psteyn - rigting bedonerd, KTM950s. Peter snr. Mambat's Dad, F800. Marco - the sea K4, 1200 GS.
Them, the Joburg group, Mike aka skilpad,F800 yellow. Johan - pandtjie KLR 650. Hannes - duikroll, GSA 1200 and last and least Gregg -ionlyfell4times, Truimph 800xc

Well, me, Pete snr and Willie are all retierd so we decided to leave a day before the rest and stay over in Montagu the Thursday and wait for Mambat and Marco to ride up from the Cape at 7 :30 the next moring. Great idea because leaving the Cape o a Friday in traffic ,nearly cost us our Fearless leader. Chick in car clipped his leg going down Blauuberg rd.

So met Peter snr at my house at 1 iesh and set out on our long awaited adventure.Off to toll road to hook up with Willie.
