Rooiberg Camping

Rooiberg Lodge one of the club’s favourite destinations has recently added a camping area to their venue. A number of us were keen to try it out.

So on the Saturday morning 6 of us (Baron, Trevor, Francois, Olaf, Stehan and me) on four 1200 and two F800 GS’s met at the BP garage in Franschhoek for a 8am start.

Our Route

Me, Blesbokkie and other animals:  The Rooiberg Trip

This is a story of a disastrous weekend for Lance and me. It included a crash and a forced overnight bike abandonment. Yet the whole experience, aside from the fear and the frustration, left me with the knowledge that we are surrounded by and incredible number of incredible people, whom are willing to help out beyond the point of what we’d consider reasonable.
