Roof of Africa 2017  tour with a twist:
So we planned a trip down to the Roof many moons ago and along the way plan to see some more of lesotho.
5 guys
1 x 990
2 x Tenere 1200
1 x Bmw 1200 gs
1 x 1190
Route planned and Gps tracks sorted (Thanks Losper)
It’s Mid Nov ,so weather should be warm and maybe some rain
Days before we get weather reports of wet and cold so as you would do you pack a rain suit for a little damp conditions.

We meet up just outside centurion at ultra city and it looks like the rain has passed.
We make good time all the way to Harrismith and after breakfast just as we head out via dam the heavens open and lots of lightning all around us in the hills.
We stop for a quick break and discuss options of planned route as dirt wet muddy roads would not be fun on loaded bikes.

Man those roads got snotty.
After a “Fun” ride we reach our destination rather soaked and find our rooms to try dry out a little.
