We had an overwhelming response to today's route, Excalibur, Funacide & Myself, so herewith the pics to tell the story.

Early morning it was rather chilly - felt like we drove into a fridge when we got to Harties, but fortunately it warmer up quite nicely later during the day.

Recent rains had compacted most of the routes, and many of them had been graded, so it was easy going all the way. :D

The last section of road just before Groot Marico was really something! Very scenic with lots of game farms and Lodges by the roadside....
