Thru' the heart of KZN; 11 day tour from Mtunzini to Royal Natal and return, 22nd April to 2nd May inclusive.

Self sufficient, camping, dirt roads and cattle tracks through rural areas as much as possible, some sections of hike-a-bike.

Six day outward leg: Mtunzini - Lilani - Mooi River - Bell Park - Royal Natal (average 70kms per day)

Five day return leg: Royal Natal - Weenen - Kranskop - Eshowe - Mtunzini (average 85kms per day)

 

Any takers?

 

N.B. This isn't a soft tour like Cape Epic, J2C or Freedom Challenge. No support vehicles, catering, entertainment, genteel accommodation, masseuse, etc. :-)

Nice, wish I could go...

Timing not on my side doing the J2C but it will definitely be awesome riding

Mojoman: don't wish, "just do it".

 

Dave: my pack weight - sleeping bag, tent, cooking and eating utensils, washing gear, clothes, spares, etc. is ±10kg. Allow another 3kg for food and water. Can be carried on one's back, but a rear rack does make life more comfortable. No need for panniers.

 

Alan: yes, safety is a concern, but "Qui audet adipiscitur" as they say.
