So – where do I start??
December is holiday time and what better can we do than to go on a trip. Spoedvark, my neighbour
, approached me and asked if we can’t do Lesotho, but I was in the mood for the Western Cape . .
I then received a sms from Mr+P (Neville) asking if I’m doing something as his wife is away for a few days. So 2 + 1 makes 3 . . . and within a minute, Mr P was included. David (not a WD) was contacted as I know he cannot wait to do Baviaans and he had to look at his dairy first . . . Demmit – just come along.
So….. 2 + 1 + 1 makes 4.
The route?? After I spoke to ChrisL, Visarend & Kallie a lot of information and routes were given, but due to time etc, we didn’t do them all. Always a next time and a reason for another trip. Thanks to you all we gave input. Much appreciated.
My stats for my bike is mentioned at every day, but in total I rode 1 787.9 km of which 37% was gravel (not much, but we enjoyed every single moment!!) I used 108.01 litres of Petrol and it gives me an average of 16.53 km/l. The accommodation costs were R980.00 @ R245.00 / night. We only booked the first night @ Kudu Kaya near the entrance at Baviaans. The plan was to sleep the 1st night at Kudu Kaya, 2nd night at prins Albert, then George and then it was open to the floor as it was only me and David left as Mr+P & Spoedvark had to go home due to family commitments.
We left the morning of the 17th before 6 as Spoedvark had to meet some of his family in Patensie before 11. So we left East London by tar and went there via Port Alfred & PE for Patensie.
Milage for today: 373 km - basicly all tar. here are some kiekies.

As we entered Patensie.
While we waited for our food, I took some kiekies.
Maybe I must use this bike for Baviaans, but those tight corners . . .
Or maybe this one, but then I must take the lawnmower with
This truck would not be of any help - too BIG
They can also feel the feul shortage in Patensie
And then the food was there - what a nice bunch of friendly people!!
After we were "lekker dik gevreet", we left for Kudu Kaya where we booked
Spoedvark still in for the game and a happy chappy
After a day's ride, I was glad to see the turn-off where we gonna sleep tonight.
Spoedvark given us lessons of how to prepare a braai.
That was day 1.
