Well after Generaals friend called his Dad in Ceres to collect 'H's bike and took them both back to Ceres . Many thanks , sorry I didnt catch your name ! age I guess.
The rest of headed to the Oasis where we were welcomed by Chantal and later Gert.
Most of us headed for the pool , some went straight for the fridge.
Pic comming
Chantal ,our Host and cheff , cooked those amazing 800g T-bones , I have never had such a tender T-Bone , well done Chantal.
We sat up late and finally turned in.
Up at 05h30 Camelman and I , packed up , saddled up and were ready for the road.
Riaanrw was having prblems with a leaking RH front shock and decided it might be dangerous going through Eiselbank and down that bloody steep mountain into Wuperthal , So we bid him farewell and he headed home.
After b/fast we headed down the 4 x 4 track towards Eiselbank.
Not very far into the ride , Generaal hit a rock and holed his sump.
Crossed -up used his petrol bottle to catch a litre of oil that ran out and we laid the Vara on its side to repair the hole.
Field Fix (Its amazing what Fynbos can cure.Just joking !)
I cut a piece of fynbos , sharpend it and knocked it into the hole , leaving about 10mm protruding,Rony had some of that fast drying putty , and AntonW had a drop of Taquella left in his flask , which we used as a degreaser , putty on and 10 Minutes later and Gereraal was off back to Hermanus.
Lekker roads, my faithful XT and Camelmans KTM 950
We marked our territory ,like all dogs do
He headed for a lekker ride through all the rocks , stones and sand to Wuperthal ,and back to Clanwilliiam.
Can you believe that they even have political posters down the 4x4 track in the middle of no where
After refueling and getting ice and a snack , we decided head back into the mountains.
We went past the Oasis again and headed back toward Ceres en-route home.
We had been riding for 20 minutes or so and reallised we were heading straight for a huge electic thunder storm , first big drops , then it pissed down.
A 4x4 waved us down and said the road was flooded and was washing away fast.We went on with our leader , Leftless up ahead.
When we got there , It was true , not even the 4x4`s dared crossing.
So back to the Oasis , " Hello Gert , we back".
Anyway he informed us that we could get fuel between 4 and 6 at Dwarsrivier , which we did.
Then headed back toward Citrusdal and the N7 and Home.I got there at 20h30
Distance travelled , 986km , according to my odo trip reading .
pic tomorrow
Many thanks to all who came with us , I am glad that our friends from the BMW Club , " Die Maletjie" and DanTheMan and now also Wilddog members .
Thanks to Leftless who lead us most of the way.
