    The Karkloof MTB Club will be hosting the 2018 SA Enduro champs on 27 - 28 October. The event will be held over 2 days incorporating the best gravity orientated trails both the Howick & Karkloof trail networks have on offer. If you're keen to enter the info for the event can be found here. In an effort to raise funds for the event the club has a 2019 Specialized S-Works Stumpjumper up for grabs. All the cash generated from this initiative will go straight back into the event and the trails! You can enter here.

    Doing a trip up to Eastern Cape and KZN in April. Will be staying in the Howick area on 10th - 13th April. The Howick and Karkloof trails look awesome! Are there any locals out there who'd be keen to show my man and I the best stuff? We're both relatively fit and technically skilled. Hoping to check out the fun singletrack everybody raves about

    Guys just a reminder, Karkloof 100 will be using sections of the trails this weekend for the 50 and 100 mile trail run, so just take care and keep an eye out for runners on certain sections, you will see the lumo trail markers for the runners.

    some mates and I are going down to Howick for a weekend later this year for a bit of R&R&R ((mental)rest and (mental)relaxation and Riding). Karkloof has been on our bucket list for quite some time, so that'll be our primary riding destination, but can those in know give me a couple suggestions of other routes we can ride. We'll get to ride on the Friday once there, all of of Saturday (probably at Karkloof itself) then a short ride on Sunday to sweat out the beer from a visit to the Nottingham Road Brewery the previous evening,before heading back in the morning. As far as accommodation's concerned, I've looked at Old Halliwell Inn and Rockwood Lodges so far.. both seem nice. fanks

    Hello everyone I hope im posting this in the right section I am planning a week away to karkloof in the first week of december for my birthday, and would like some info regarding camping in that area, i have tried the search function however i didnt exactly find what i was looking for. Im looking for a campsite close to the karkloof club that caters mainly for the tent lovers. I have been to Merry pebbles in Sabie and they have a set of trails that start at the entrance of the camp site and i have been to Mankele close to Sabie where all their trails start within the camp. So are there any campsites similiar to the above mentioned that anyone knows of? Or alteast close to the karkloof trails. Iv tried google and all i can find is Bushwillow caravan and shaw's. bushwillow seems like it mainly caters for caravanners and shaw's doesnt really have much info on their website. any help will be much appreciated
