Now sometimes you have success the first time, sometimes like this story the 3rd time, and sometimes- like riding sand, you never get it right, you only get to do it beter.
So twice in the last 4 years I tried to go back to the Bosveld roads near Marken. But everytime rain cut the effort short. The first time I went with the JRAD manne. When we passed through Warmbad that Friday afternoon, and the caravan floated in front of the 4x4 I knew we were in for it. We turned around at Marken in heavy rain and extreme mud.
A few weeks later my son and I tried it again. Again it rained the whole weekend. Water crossings and mud was the order of the day. In 8km in the mud I was separated from the bike 4 times. At Snotbult we pushed the bikes up the hill. We never even reached Marken.
