Due to a few reports lately of dads and sons / daughters rides I thought I'd post a few pics with the stories. Also, this is practice for me to get it right before posting RR's of my other trips!

Firstly a few trips with my son. Before he was old enough to ride on his own bike (legally) he sat pillion with me, dressed in my "old" kit, hence it looking a bit baggy on him is some pics. He has grown into (and out of!) the kit over the years, he's just a tad taller than me now!

This is father and son at a small croc farm in the Groot Marico district. I like the sign!

On the way past Port Shepstone we detoured to go try out the gorge swing at Oribi...1st me then Brad.

Coffee Bay - we stayed at the Coffee Shack, great place and opportunity for Brad to learn to surf!

On another trip, off to Swaziland via Waterberg, Mpumalanga top to bottom then in at Bulembu. It rained for a large part but still, a lot of fun was had!

Muddy road from Bulembu to Piggs Peak. From here through the hills to the top of the "T Road" and down to Royal Swazi Sun for a few days. Nice to take him to see where his dad lived and worked, here and Nhlangano Sun, from '89 to '91...before he was born!
