So, it been a week+ since our return from this magnificent off road weekend into the Tankwa Karoo.....what a hectic week to recover and cathing up to do, but ticking the boxes.

Thank you to all that were so active with sharing their special shots on facebook....WOW it was busy for more than 2 days with the most amazing pictures and memories.  Knowing that some forum users are curious about this outing, I'm posting some of the views and experiences.

Just a special thank you to all that made this weekend memorable with like-minded souls... like Jackie calls us.  Well, I was thinking about this trip a lot and it is confirmed that this tribe is no where else to be found...the cameraderie and fun shared unique.  This trip made perfect by the venue explored...a team effort to organise...a legend ride leader...a feathered Andyman as sweeper.....a Kwagga as back-up...some caterers at sundowners with a view no money can buy...a birthday girl...an Indian as a braaimaster...a local astronomer...unique accommodation...in house entertainers...karoo hospitality...endless views...laughs and fun....crazy and awesome roads...dream machines....brave pillions....nature in bloom...and a very typical cold  starry Sutherland night.  What more do one need??

Ok, here the pics with comments:

The Rendezvous and briefing ....some new and familiar faces

Serious talking and spelling out the ride etiquette...remember the thumbs up rule

Time for regrouping...this is what it's all about...some dust.. yippeee..

Campfire stories are made out of dusty rides...maybe taken out of your comfort zone every now and then

Sunday morning and time to saddle our horses again....luckily they all had a warm sleep in the farm garage and fuelled up...thanks Nicol for having fuel ready for the group...just for another day of fun on spectacular roads

....but a farm breakfast needed first...Marina and her team served us well

Goodbye to the bacon
