Guys thank you all so much for all of your responses!

Hi, does anybody know if Fijnbos is open?

Thanks JayLow and M L for the advice will definitely edit my route and will consider the membership.

Hi JayLow, why should I avoid Bartinney skyfall and are the two Camissas or Fijnbos nicer trails then Bartinney? I am looking for some flowy and mid technical trails e.g. Vasbyt Tokai. Thanks

Ok, so after playing around with a couple route planners and done some research my final route will probably be: Start at Old Bethlehem Plaas then ride through Kylemore to Hellshoogte, ride Hellshoogte until the turn off to the old road. I will then ride old road through the storm water tunnel in Botmanskop and climb to the Corkscrew, I will then ride the Corkscrew, Luiperd se Fijndraai, Bartiny Skyfall and Banhoek berms. I will then climb back up and do a bit of the Botmanskop sky traverse, then descend down and climb up to the top of Klipwerf via Nik Naks and do a run then I will climb up the Elevator and down Afterburn before finishing back at Old Bethlehem. About 32km and 900m of climbing. Is this a good route? Anything I am missing? Thanks

Thank you Openmind, will do.

Hello, thank you so much this looks amazing! Any tips for the route e.g gates, technical features, permits etc.

Hi I have seen a couple videos on the Botmanskop and Banhoek trails but haven’t seen a gpx file for any of the routes. I am open to any distance below 50km and any amount of climbing below +- 1200m. I don’t know much about the Stellenbosch area so some local knowledge would be welcome. Thanks
