Wild dogs will recall that the 2009 EC Regional WD Bash was held on the weekend of 12 June 2009 at Vaalpadskloof, a farm adjacent to the Grootrivier mountains in the district of Steylerville, East Cape, located about 30 km in a westerly direction from Steylerville. Co-ordinates: 33°15'47.66"S 24°01'05.37"E
However, as testament by the subsequent Ride Reports and photographs, it was a little bit wet and muddy on that weekend, resulting that the planned outrides were never explored.
In view of the above, a weekend outride is planned for the weekend of the 17th of October 2009 so that these routes can be ridden. :mwink: Diepspoor, being the name of the camp-site at Vaalpadskloof, will be available for camping. Special permission will also be obtained to gain access to the Kamferspoort, a must ride for any serious dual-sport biker.
This outride will also coincide with the Steylerville Rainbow Festival. So, there will be plenty of alternative activities to amuse yourself. Lots of things to do, eat, drink and see at the festival.
The arrangements are simple:
Below are some photo’s of the venue and the "green" route, just to refresh the memories, or perhaps entice others to join. :mwink:
This threat is posted now so as to give advanced notice :thumleft: I know of a group of about 15 riders (including some Wilddogs) under the guidance of Pie going there via the Baviaanskloof and Willowmore on the Friday, promising a enjoyable weekend.....
So, a show of hands of those interested in joining please.
More information re the venue can be found at the original 2009 EC Bash link
