I set out to scout parts of the route I am planning for my trip to Dullstroom next month.
I ended up at Meulstroom, which is about a third of the way to Dullstroom.
I started from wapadrand, PTA east and set out towards Rayton.
Nice little tranquil setting with horses etc (before Rayton);
Pig amongst the cattle..
I continued to Rayton for a re-fueling and set out to explore the service roads.
This is the part where I need that XR650. :mwink:
Parking off for lunch..
Om nom nom
cosmos..a lot of cosmos
I continued with the unused railroad until I reached Ekandustria, after which I took the Modderfontein road.
Hooked a left at the Vlaklaagte crossing.
I continued for about 12Km where I decided to take the scenic route. Turned out to be a good decision.
This is where I got off the dirt highway;
Somewhere north of Bronkhorstspruit
Eventually I crossed the R25
Nice and remote :biggrin:
Little red pig, making the cattle scatter.
My remote little road linked me up with the Wilgerevier road. Nice shortcut!
Man, this road is a beauty! I can't wait to follow this one all the way to Dullstroom
Arriving at Meulstroom!
I attached the GPS route for this ride. Import to Google Earth for those not in the know :deal:
My return trip went all pear-shaped quick.
Just a couple pics as the sun started to set and I found myself trapped between a swamp and a township called Dark city!
Return trip went from this;
to this:
to this;
and this..
there's your bridge..
It was about 100Km to Meulstroom and what a pleasure!
Cheers
