Carrots, Laurika and Myself decided to trailer our bikes to a caravan park in the Nottingham Road Area, and from there do dirt where ever we could.
Here we had just off loaded the bikes, after a restive trip from JHB on Thursday afternoon.
Breakfast at the Notties Hotel the Friday morning, having met up with Tommy Transalp and Cyclops and his family
Laurika, indulging in early toast and jam

Laurika, delighted with her brekkie
Carrots , actually had food.(Brekkie) and he ate all his food. YaYa Chased by a Pilsener.
Myself tucking in too. I had lots and lots of tee and coffee with this brekkie. LEKKER, LEKKER
After brekkie, the three of us ( Carrots, Laurika, and myself) took the lower Loteni road. About half way to Underberg, we turned east toward Impendle, and work our way on dirt, virtually to Richmond.
Underway , on the Loteni road, Carrots needed to do a No2, ( He has serious Jippo Guts) so Laurika and myself carried on for a while then stopped and waited for him in the shade od some wattle trees.
Waiting for the action

Action Arrives
Eventually Carrots arrives, much relieved, and full of smiles again.
Chasing us down
On we went and it was not long or Galloping Carrots AGAIN need to do a No2 HaHA. So Laurika and I again continue some way. We cross this bridge with a very inviting river down there. Here we stop and each go take a dip, whilst waiting for The Wortel

Laurika’s chance
Pic of the river in perspective. Beautiful country this. So much water !, just running into the ocean and NO, NIL agriculture. What a waste.
Here Carrots arrives again. Time to move on, no dip for him
In Boston we topped off the bikes tanks, and ask a local where we can by cold beers etc. He indicated a shebeen across the road, with just its red roof sticking out behind the tall grass. Off we went and what a delight we found. Next to the local trading post, is this VERY neat and clean shebeen with the lady on duty giving us excellent service.
Damn hot outside , cool inside, with Storm on ice. Heaven in the lower midlands, I say ! Here we are having a lighter moment
Having arrived at the High-Over Sactuary / bash venue, in temps of 33 – 35 Deg C, we quickly unpacked and headed straight for the river for another dip.

Next morning (Saturday) instead of doing the local valey run with the organisers, we decided to venture the area. So with White Rhino as our guide, we visited the Byrne valley. We went up a cul-de-sac road, and winded our way up, and up a narrow little raod to a look-out point high above the valley.
Slakkie on the ride with his Africa Twin.
Some natural forest. Lekker cool in the shade inside these forests.

House with a grass roof (I though that was only seen in Europe etc.) COOL

Opposite view of the valley. You can see the road we took up to the top on the other side.
Surprise !! White Rhino’s route takes us to Boston, so we haul into the Shebeen AGAIN. LEKKER
Having left the shebeen we moved on to the PICKLEPOT, half way between Boston and Bulwer.
This is a MUST STOP, shop. GREAT SERVICE
Another river shot.

The three of us were treated to a chocolate ice cream each by Laurika. Thanks “L”
We thoroughly enjoyed an awesome weekend with the KZN dogs, and riding awesome country.
WE will be back again.
Thanks to the organisers for choosing this wonderful venue, and making the weekend of great memories
See YA all next time.
