So I have been working non-stop during the holiday season even some of the public holidays and felt really sorry for myself...
My dad told me Friday that I could take monday and Teusday the 3-4 of work. :biggrin:

So friday I grabbed my drybag and tent sleepingbag and some extras.

The idea was to leave Sunday morning early from Yzerfontein to Elandsbay from there gravel and tweespoor to Lutzville and then attempyt the dreaded coastal route to Hondeklipbay.

I haven't had a long ride since last December going to Nam...so 5 bells Sunday I left Yzerfontein in the dark and mist to Elands on tar. Took the railway road to Lamberts and refueled here.

Even spotted the sissen train as I stood at the tollbooth :eek: sheesh she is long.


after lamberts I took the first sandy road turnoff to Strandfontein....

I took the road to Lutville where I started to create a mobile BOMB....... :-[
14l in my tank
7.5 in fuel bladder
2x 2l bottles in tankbag
2 x 2l bottles in backpack
so 30 liters of fuel to hopefully make Hondeklip as I hear the sand is hectic and I am loaded with my drybag and tubes compressor, bombs, tyre levers, spare bolts, jumpers, camera and my maps
