I have been to the Baviaans many times and heard about the crossing from Steytlerville being a very difficult route.

After some enquiries I was told it is extremely difficult and I should not attempt it.

This made me decide it was a challenge which I needed and my love affair with the Baviaans was comfortable enough for me to attempt a rear entry.

Next step was to find someone to join and no one was interested in my escapade until I asked Gotcharater

We left PE in a cold misty drizzle but only about 15Km’s onto Elandsriver Rd and we were in sunshine

We only left PE at 10am and had a quick stop at Grootrivier Poort

From here we went through to Steytlerville for lunch and a quick refuel

And made our way to the entrance

I would like to have taken pics of the more difficult sections but was too scared to stop in case I could not get going and
have to go down again

The road to the right is the one we came in on the earlier pic

I was taken back by the beauty of this ride and felt extremely content with life.

When we arrived at the Bash site I was sopping wet from all the sweating even my gloves were soaked.
