Now Neui - Bethesda has to be one of my favorite places , for those that haven't been there before it seems as though the 60s haven't passed yet . Its Good Friday and I'm still in bed at about 9.00 am , my crazy friend Carlo Dutton asked me the previous day for a map to get to Graaf- Riennett via gravel . Well he forgot to take it with and hence i get a phone call "how do i get there " and he is sitting at Jansenville . I'm on my way just wait there ...........  [ its an hours ride away] .
i phone Slipstream.... come lets go to Neui - bethesda . He replies its raining . So whats an adventure bike for .
Twenty minutes later we found our way to Jansenville , and on to the gravel to Kendrew . What the hell its raining properly and the Karroo roads are snot . A ride that normally takes an hour becomes a nightmare , or is it fun ? Five hours later we arrive at Kendrew , and its still about one and halve hours to Neui - Bethesda . Now it is chucking properly , why did we do this again ?

Neui - bethesda is awesome so its totally worth it - Suddenly it dawns on me its Easter and we haven't booked a place to stay over . Shit we will just wing it and someone will give us a bed . We arrive at the the brewery [ first stop ] homebrew is totally unbelievable . Its on to the Karroo lamb next and look for a bed for the night . Well the place is totally full . After a bit of re shoveling we a are staying at the back packers . Its clean and comfortable enough [ after loads of lager] . The pub is legend and we get stuck until 2.00am . Get up after making loads of noise and waking up all the people at the backpackers and we off to Hanky for another party . We are still amazed that we didnt end up in the mud the previous day . The Hanky episode next!!
