Come along with your bike or by car. 

Bring folding chairs to relax and to hang your gear off.

The BMWMCCC social team will keep us fed with drinks and boerie rolls under the club gazebo -refreshments you can buy cash.

The crossing is closed to traffic due to the high water, so we will not be bothered much by other road users.
