Verneukpan was mentioned to me by Lance before our epic Tankwa trip. My initial responses included worries about sand (lots), cold (of the ice variety) and sheer distance (we would fit the trip into 3 days). I should have listened to a work colleague, who told me "Just do it! I know you'll end up going anyway." She knows me well.

Day 1: Saturday 20 March: Goodwood – Ceres – Calvinia – Brandvlei - Verneukpan: 634km

It’s a beautiful morning. Cool and fresh; high temperatures were forecast for the rest of the day and weekend. The excitement was pretty high as we on our way to another weekend adventure. We got up at 5am, the bikes were already loaded the Friday evening and we just awaiting Janes to arrive on his Transalp 750. Schalk were already at our house, ready and just as excited.

Rony changing a tyre , Boris and Sean looking on Wuperthal: Jean, Gavin, Sean, Harley Wuperthal : Chris H and Sean Wuperthal: The hero of the trip : Shah Shah had hardly any riding experience before this trip. In fact he can hardly hold up his bike or park it by himself, yet he rode the entire route , including Wuperthal , Eselbank, some very tricky sandy bits, mud etc , and even went down Ganagga Pass in the mud and rain, VERY impressive !
