Trip report: ‘n kermis, ‘n aartappel fees en Kapteinsberg On Friday 7th September, We made a trip to the sandveld. Andy Connell 1150GSA + all panniers Annie Connell F650GS + all panniers Maria Lafite Skasuz bakkie –back up with her daughter Lerouna. Annie n I left Gordon’s Bay with our overnight and camping gear for a weekend in the Sandveld. We R44’d all the way to Wellington then R43’d to Malmesbury. N7 then R45 to Veldrif via Langebaanweg. where we crossed the railway line just ahead of a loooooong goods train. I can only imagine this story would not have been written if we arrived 2 minutes later – Pitch black night, no lights on the goods train, we could easily have ran right into it at 100kph and never ever known about it. That sobered me up a bit and we nevetheless had a great time watching the opening RWC game from Veldrif.
