Our first ride to Die Hel. Left Porcupine Rest Camp at about 8.30, through Seweweekspoort, Groenfontein Road to Kobus se Gat at the start of Swartberg Pass. The first half of the road to Die Hel was easy going, but the rest was littered with small sharpish stones. Apparently they had recently graded the road and this was the reason. I managed to pick up a large hole from one of those stones in my brand new Mitas E07 just before we reached our accommodation. Managed to plug it with 3 plugs. Rode out the next day (nervously) and did Rooiberg Pass and some other great gravel on the way to our next sleep-over at Karoo Saloon. Definitely going to invest in some patches and tyre removal equipment before the next trip.
