  1. Did THAB last year and I have entered for this year (to try and get a better time). Day one is really Ok(ish) we took it slow and took lots of pics along the way. Water points are great. Heart Break hill WILL BREAK YOU if you try to conquer it during mid day (which we did 'cause of picture taking) Day 2 is absolute torture if its hot (which it will be) you climb for 40km, but coming flying down swartberg pass makes it all worth it. If you planning to go book and pay your accommodation at de hoek now otherwise you'll have to stay at wilgenwandel or cango and it sucks to drive all the way there when you are dead tired. As said it's not very technical as its a district road, some of the corners are however sharp with steep drop-offs.

  17. it's not a simple question to answer as there are different views on the matter especially if when it comes to prove the authenticity of the document, e.g. a secured pdf document will be better evidence than a word doc. see this article http://www.saflii.org/za/journals/DEREBUS/2012/69.html
