Hi All

I'm considering a visit to Hazyview over the September long weekend with the following route in mind for the Saturday:

Leaving from Ermelo the morning
Lothair
Dundonald
Steynsdorp
En lembe
Through the Swazi borderpost
Brunch at Piggs peak
Shooting through the top section of Swazi
Out at Jeppes Reef
Turning left (North) @ Buffelspruit
Through Kaapmuiden & Matsulu
Going North all along (what I think is) the Kruger Park boundary fence (it looks like there are train tracks)
Basically all the way to Hazyview

This is the google maps link:

Attached is a screenshot of the route.

It's the last section I'm a bit worried about:
Is it possible to ride a bike along this section of the Kruger's fence?
How bad is this road?

Your advice would be much appreciated
