This trail is 38 km long and the cost is R150 pv. We have to organize if we want to braai because there is a mountain bike event taking place in the same forest and some roads will be crossed by the bikers.
I suggest that we get together at the gate (map and directions to be provided later) at 09:00 and then obtain the permits (at the gate) and start driving at 09:30 or so.
The trail consists of "farm roads" and mountain sections with a very tricky section that you can bypass if you want. So let me know who is in so I can confirm with Susan. There is accommodation available for those that want to stay overnight. More details to follow. :) This rout is very scenic and should make for very nice photos.

At the Friday GTG Jaco suggested that we do this trail the next weekend so that we don't clash with the MTB event. Jaco, I will find out if we can get in the next weekend and let you know. Please indicate who will be available the next weekend (17th)

Ok Niel
Iewers is so klein misverstand, ek het alweer 'n blonde oomblik gehad.
Ek sal eintlik nie daar kan wees nie.
Gaan na 'n wyn veiling toe in Tulbagh ( Mamma se wêreld )
So geniet dit en dink aan arme ekke, wens ek het 'n pier by pier gehad
Sien julle weer op 'n ander dag, miskien by daai nuwe GTG plekkie met die duidelike waiters. :D
