While stopped at the fuel station in Weenen, we noticed these abnormal load vehicles parked across the road

Outthere having some fun

Ping SGB!!!
Stefan I am sure you recognize this:

Anyway, left Weenen and headed on the tar for about 3km towards Colenso before we headed off onto dirt towards Zingela Lodge. This was a brilliant piece of road, a few river crossings, lots of whoops and some interesting climbs




Alan had a MLOT along this section

We stopped for a quick breakfast in the bush, already hot and no shade to be had


Shortly after that we arrived at Zingela Lodge on the banks of the Tugela

There are luxury rooms available as well as camping, we will definitely be coming back with our families to spend some time here in the near future


Alan enjoying a cold one

Nothing like an ice cold Hansa after a hot ride through the bush

The view from the pub:

The Lodge has a tame meerkat that wanders around



As well as a great dane

Spent a couple of relaxing hours at the lodge, then , after a quick dip in the river to cool down it was time to head home.
We took a different route back to Pmb from the way there, towards Mooi River, then Giants Castle, Camberg, Fort Nottingham then home. Unfortunately we did not take any pics on the home trip, time was short as we wanted to get home to watch the rugby. As it turns out we should have detoured more and take our time, far preferred the ride to watching that crap display from the Boks.
Thanks Alan and Kevin, great to ride with you as always, and thanks to Alan for some of the pics.
