So I want to go down on Friday and collect my bike.  The trip down is no problem, I am taking a waterpump along that urgently needs repairs and parts. The trip back needs some planning and advice please.

My wife will be following me in the bakkie so 2 spoor tracks and stuff won't work.  Seeing as all guesthouses and the like are closed, I need to get down and back in a day.

My questions:

1. I normally drive down to Swartkops on the R367, join the N2 and then proceed from there.  I also use the R75 from Uitenhage.  Both these routes go past all the locations and I would guess are prime routes for roadblocks and other harassment.  Any recommended stealth route alternatives?

2.  Where have you guys observed roadblocks and other potential hazards to be avoided?  It may be difficult to explain a boertjie on his bike heading out of PE.

Your input, recommendations and thoughts are valued.
