Planned this Route over a year ago. Loaded it on Martins GPS and sent him and Derek on it last year---Hoping they would get lost and maybe find a Wife or something out that way and become Bums or maybe get a Village of maidens for themselves.

Needless to say he has persisted that we do it together and that winter would be a great time to do it. I decide as my birthday and Martin's was coming up soon -----to start planning.

Malibu and Tagsy joined us on this one.( You all know Mal) Anything for a Jol ::)

The Destination. The View from my Bedroom.

The Start.  Mist greeted us near Delmas where we hit the first Gravel Roads till Ladysmith.( Hardly any tar ;) the way i like it.)

The Mist eventually cleared up and for some reason Tagsy started riding slower when he could see where he was going ???

There was NO DUST --for most of the first days riding.
We had to split the ride over two days due to the distance we had to cover to get to South Coast Natal as well as we wanted to take up as much of the scenery as possible over the two days.
Some of the roads before Vrede.

The food was great and quite a different place one would not think you would find in a Dorp.

From here on the roads changed from wide open to narrow two track and sometimes single track and then again opening up again. We also started to climb more.

A Perfect day for Riding.
