Carrol
Pack Dog
We started at 10:30 from Riversdale. People warned me not to do Rooibergpas solo since I'm a female so I was ecstatic when ChrisL invited me along. I desperately wanted to do that route and have been staring at it on my map forever.
Turn - off to Van Wyk's Dorp
The beautiful mountain
Another turn - off
Two GREATS meet enroute
Tortoise on his way and we on ours
AmandaL and a view of how nice the road is
In front of one of ChrisL's friend's house at Van Wyksdorp
Van Wyksdorp is aircraft friendly
Meeting bikers at the Rooiberg entrance
Rooiberg Entance
The road behind us
Entrance again
Mmmm - makes you think before you enter. How wild? What?
The road to take
Go up there
Climbing higher
Road ahead
Higher
And higher
More or less the top - there was a veld fire and bumps for 12 kms
Chris and Amanda reminiscing about previous picnics at this spot
The road ahead
More speedbumps but you can't really go that fast
The view, we have to go down
Our destination in the distance
Bakkie speeding past, we are at the bottom already - what? should I have stopped for photos?
Dorpshuis in Calitzdorp
The famous church
Returning to Riversdale by tar
Road block to Ladismith
View from roadblock
Filling up in Ladismith and then back To Riversdale
Thanks for a lovely trip. If you can do Die Hel, you can do Rooibergpas. The plus about Rooibergpass is you don't have to go back the same way. With Die Hel you have to go back the same way. :biggrin:
