We came through there a few weeks ago on our way to the Hogsback Rallye Raid (from Cape Town). Great roads in and out and the bit through all the game reserves leading to RE (from Cape Town side) was awesome. We were a bit surprised by no fuel station so had to divert to Grahamstown/Makanda...

Yes it is Smitskraal. Is the depth of the water surprising or the overgrown reeds!? :) Actually, one of the later low water bridge crossings turned out to be even deeper (if only for 1m or so), which was a bit of a surprise when I hit it at speed, planning on splashing my riding buddy but...

Hi Jax, sorry for delay (still catching up!). After refuelling at Willowmore, we headed by tar to De Rust (worst part of our trip by far was that +-100km of tar!). Then we did the Raubenheimer Dam road and from there to Swartberg. There are some nice gravel loops you can do off that...

11 March 2024 update - water levels are fairly low, road conditions normal. Was a fantastic morning. Managed to do Baviaanskloof and Swartberg Pass and arrive in Prince Albert by 4pm. Was a busy day but not overly hectic. 😂

Any recent reports on conditions in Baviaanskloof?

I have endless trouble (and swearing) connecting my Garmin 396 to my Mac. Only solution I have come up with is restarting my Mac while the stupid thing is connected to it. Works like that most times (not every time). But I think I have heard that the XT is an Android-based system (unlike...

Thanks @Kamanya for your efforts. Gone through it all now and this looks amazing! Busy trying to make contact with the farmer at Kamferspoort (seems it has been properly locked/closed since you went through) - luckily I have some contacts in that area. Looks like it's going to be a winner.

I will thank you now! Great stuff @Vis Arend - much appreciated.

Thanks Andrew! Awesome help.

Thanks @Eisbein! Will check it out.

Yep, busy doing that in Basecamp but thought I’d get some clever ideas from the clever people here.

A couple of us Capetonions are doing the Rallye Raid Hogsback in March and we're looking at routes there and back that avoid too much tar, but still enable us to get there in 2 days and back in 2 days. Basically 2 night stopovers each way. The general feeling is to go there via more inland...

Nice. Referring a friend….

I'm busy enquiring about the new Mitas Enduro Trail range which seems to be replacing the E0 range, but I have not seen them available in SA yet. Sounds like they are an upgrade on the current E0's. Seems to be no stock of Motoz anywhere as far as I can find. Have heard good things about the K60...

Lekker! Did you find those Tractionators recently? If so, where did you get them? Everyone seems out of stock still.

Hi Réhann, yes, still available. Sorry for delay but was away for the weekend. I am in Noordhoek, or can get it to town/Waterfront.

Still available
