Hi, I love this idea and would like to get involved with this plotting thing but for the Nubes like me around here, what GPS and software do I need to use these files? Thanks

Hi Garmin Basecamp and Google Earth is all I use.

So lockdown is semi lifted, who is going to be first to report back on a section  I'm looking at exploring part of the Lydenburg route soon.

Would like to tag along for a day if it’s over a weekend?

Thanks sometimes feel like I’m talking to myself  SA has so many tracks, the route on page 1 is a good starting point me thinks. If anyone has ridden parts of it or have better suggestions please let us know. Some parts I logged with GE and dont even know if it’s rideable. On a side note I worked out that one roughly needs 2-3 weeks to complete this ride and the cost will be +- R15 000

That would be amazingly cheap for folks earning euros or dollars. Of course, bike rental will be a lot more, but still.

Any EC sections you want ridden just shout - probably going Katberg/Hogsback direction this weekend.

Hi I have this in and around Hogsback, how rough is section 46 and 47 ? Best route to take the 47 or 48S ? Northern one looks to be more scenic and has some extra passes ?

@sidetrack I'm fully booked this weekend but can definitely make a plan in future. PM me if you are planning something.

46 is scenic and good riding. 47 - Mitchels Pass used to be hectic but was rebuit and not rough now (will have another look this wekend) 47 - from Seymour to Katbeg Pass is fine but 47 - Katberg Pass itself is a lot more challenging and washed out to bedrock these days, with some step-ups, 48S is fine riding and very scenic (actually the whole area) and would be easier than the 47 Katberg Pass piece I thnk. But both are great adventure riding. The Rally Raid is being held at Hogsback this weekend with 150 riders so I am sure these routes will get ridden and you should have first hand current feedback.
