Richtersveld

Post by pietpetoors »

It's been more than 5 years since we last visited the Richtersveld and I am sure a lot have changed since then.

Does anybody know if one can drive from Kokerboomkloof down to the south, to Eksteenfontein and then from there to Vioolsdrif?

Pieter, volgens Mapsource is daar 'n grondpad Suid na die 1 R382 (sowat 56km) dan links tot by Steinkorf (36km) weer Suid na Kokerboom (totaal so 150km) sowat 3.5uur

Mark, kyk na foto hieronder, Steinkopf is ver uit die prentjie

Ek wil van punt A, na B na C gaan
Ek sien daar is 'n pad van Rosynebos na Eksteenfontein, dus as ek net van Kokerboomkloof na Rosynebos kan gaan sal ons reg wees.

Ons wil vriende van ons daar kry en hulle moet van Richtersveld teruggaan Gauteng toe, dus wil hulle weet of hulle so kan ry om weer van Vioolsdrif af huis toe te gaan dan hoef hulle nie al die pad om te ry. As mens so kan ry kan ek dan tot by Eksteenfotein saam hulle ry, dan gaan ek van daar af suid en hulle gaan Vioolsdrif toe.

Was 2 weke terug in die Richtersveld en het naby Kokerboomkloof by Ganakoeriep gebly. Ek dink nie daar is 'n direkte pad tussen Kokerboomkloof en Rosynebos nie, as daar is sal ek ook graag wil weet. Ek het op geen stadium met my ry in die park en die gesprekke met die veldwagter aanduidings gekry dat daar 'n pad is nie, daar is wel 'n staproete suid maar net tot bo in die Rosyntjieberg. Ek het maar gery van Ganakoeriep via Helskloofpas uit die park uit tot by Eksteenfontein. (142km via Kuboes, 4 ure se ry) Van eksteenfontein het ek gery to Vioolsdrif via die 2de Helskloofpas. (64km, 2 ure 20 min se ry) Ek het 'n fototjie aangeheg van hoe mooi die veld op die oomblik daar lyk!!

Ek het ook in April gevra of ons so kan ry, maar hulle het gese ons kan nie. Die Rosyntjieberg is blykbaar in mens se pad daar. Jy sal moet deur Sendelingsdrif na Eksteensfontein ry. Van Eksteensfontein is daar 'n lekker pad Vioolsdrif toe. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Yip, brandstof is nog te kry op Sendelingsdrif, diesel en lead replacement, geen unleaded. Ek dink probeer bel vir Volenti by Eksteenfontein se toerismekantoor oor daardie pad wat OOOOMS op die kaart ingeteken het, tel no.027 851 7108. Hulle beheer toegang tot daardie gedeelte van die Richtersveld.
Hier is in fototjie van die Sendelingsdrif fulstasietjie soos hy nou lyk:
