Team Vimal, Suren, Wart Hog (AKA_Bruno), Mitch - 08h00 Sunday 2nd Dec Leaving ‘Red Hill’, we headed out towards the northern section of the lake, led by Vimal.
Arriving at the spot, presents you with a picturesque view of that section of the lake, interrupted with reeds and nesting weaver birds.
After a short break to take some pic’s, we headed north towards Kwambo, following forest roads. Approaching the Kwambo area, about 1km before leaving the forest, we came across some excavation work, blocking the road. This required the team to back-track and find an alternate route to the Kwambo intersection.Once in Kwambo, we refueled and topped up the fuel (only to get rid of the irritating 5l can on the one quad. We need to come up with a way to ‘easily’ secure a 5l fuel can as a reserve for longer trips. Clearly we did not need the fuel on this run.
Vimal led us around the houses and out the back of Kwambo, following the rail way line till we found a point across the N2 and back into the forest. From there we used the GPS to route us on some less-traveled paths to a point where the Nundwane stream source is and from there we followed the stream back to the ‘Red-Hill’ area. The stream route is easy riding with grassy sections, a must for a quiet Sunday ride.
The route mostly followed existing tracks and roads, and the GPS track is available on request.Submitted by Mitch
