I wasn't able to post this then, as I was Computer Challenged... hence a BC ride. After Tonyt's post I was reminded, this is a small yet lovely section of the ride. The first photo was taken after having ridden through Zoar then Seweweekspoort and now turned right to ride through Bosluiskloof to the Gamkaspoort Dam. Old house in ruinsOld house in ruins Just past the ruins the road opened out to these strange red things.... pockets and pockets of onions. Field of Onions...pockets and pockets..Field of Onions...pockets and pockets.. Then through the Bosluiskloof.

Hi Neil, there is also a second gate now, probably where the private nature reserve area ends. "There is just something about riding a motorcycle, something I can't explain, but that it's just so good for one's soul... " Ewan Mcgregor - 2007
