We live in pmb my oldest son works at Tena head lodge near Rhodes .
We had to get a car to him so his brother drove the car up and I took my own route on the bike to meet hin there and bring him home.
I drove out my gate in Howick at 4.30 am Sat 20 feb on tar to just before bulwer.
Bit misty so took longer than expected .
Turned left and rode to Maclear On gravel through platations stuck in mud up unused mountain passes along car tracks in the grass These are the pics .The difficult parts I took off google earth .
Front wheel keep deflating I think My Mag Rims got to many dings.
I have learnt to take pics on the move camera lives round the neck.
As you can see I had a thing for Bridges .
These two I could not take while moving I got boged down in three different places thinking I still had my TKCs on.
Then came across this tree which I pushed the bike under and around to the left.
Needless to say this section took a while not part of the plan. Put petrol twice once at Cederville then at Maclear. Had two chicken rolls under this tree and then hit this pass .
I rate it twice as hard as top of Sani and was very relieved to make it up in one piece
Picture does not do it justice even ehen I took the shot i was not worried but when you realise no one except donkeys have been here for a while I did start to worry but did not loose any momentum over it Thank goodness.
From here flat front at top then got a bit lost as my route seemed to go over the cilff the other side.But worked my way round and back on route.I dont know where those little white lines
on Google earth come from.
Any how I made it to Tena head at 3.30 pm picked up Trevor who had been there since 11.30am. He had to learn to pillion so slowly at first but soon got the hang of it including pumping up the wheel.
And taking Pics .
We took Shortcut on dirt to Mount Flet and home on tar stopping for coffie fuel in Matatile
and later to ajust headlight and get warm.
Drove in the gate 9.45 pm 17 hours later.
Cheers
