Hi guys,

Planning a 10 day trip with my mates beginning of May 2015.  2x 1200 LC GSA and 1x Ducati Multistrada. Pirelli Scorpion Rally on GSA's and whatever we can find for the MS. Camping every night if possible. Most of the route planning done, but would appreciate any input and suggestions.

Day 1 - Nelspruit - Himeville Sani Top 660km mostly tar, apart from Nottingham rd part (Depending on time, might go up Sani and sleep at top)
Day 2 - Himeville - Sani Pass up and down and then on to Rhodes via  Pitseng and Naude'snek. 370km mostly gravel
Day 3 - Rhodes - Addo (orange Elephant) 560 km tar and gravel (thanks Jupiter for the valuable route info!!!!)
Day 4 - Addo - Baviaans - camping at Uitspan western side 250 km - slow and easy
Day 5 - Uitspan - Gamkaskloof - Ladismith at Veldties place   - [color=red]my question here is wheteher it's worth going down into Die Hel? Should we rather pass and go straight to Veldtie's or should we break this up into 2 seperate days??[/color]
Day 6 - Ladismith - Anysberg, Tankwa padstal and then on to Ouberg Pass Gannaga Pass and Middelpos 600km Laingsburg - Sutherland - Oubergpas - Gannagapas - Middelpos
Day 7 - Middelpos to Jansenville 600km
Day 8 - Jansenville to Barkley East
Day 9 - Barkley East to Golden Gate Via Lundeans Nek 493 km (Again depending on time, weather and the condition of the pass and the Ducati ;D ;D, we might  try to do Bastervoetslaan as well)
Day 10 - Golden Gate to Nelspruit - slabbing it!!
