Just as we (Fisheagle and I ) were about to descend into Die Hel ( Saturday )
I  came around a corner and here is this guy walking  ???

Two guys from Brazil on 2 rented 800 GS  ( Cape Bike rental ? I think )
had been making there way to Die Hel (Friday )  just as they were starting to go down the one had a front wheel puncture (2 nice smileys on rim )
So they hid the one bike in the bush and went down on the other, slept there the night

They got a can of tyre inflator from the shop at Die Hel and had come up ( Saturday morning ) to try and fix the puncture but it did not work so the one guy was on his way to Oudtshoorn to try and get some help while to other started walking back into Die Hel
The guy on his way to Oudtshoorn  came past me and stopped when he saw Fisheagle  behind me
so while they were talking I came across his mate walking

Fisheagle and I fitted a new tube for the guy and then they were on there way again.

I cant understand how they can travel like that so unprepared  :eek:
