Alberts Farm/Melville Koppies

[Mileage]

HI All

 

Ive heard that it is possible to ride further than Alberts Farm when doing the Spruit route.

 

Ive ridden as far as the rocky climb/descent at the west end of Alberts Farm which is bordered by mark ave/ judith cresent. Where to from there?

 

Also anyone know if there is a through route if you go up Melville Koppies from the Botanical Gardens. I tried it onece on the weekend and turned back after a while cos of all the blue/white church people under the trees there.

 

It would be cool to be able to go up melville koppies along the ridge and then across to Alberts Farm

You can not go further then Albert's farm. There is only one more field in Greymont and it does not have any trails anymore. I live there and start my rides there.

 

I don't know if it is still like it, but a while back it was not safe at all to go into Melville koppies with a bikes. Alot of hi-jacking.

Have a look here, there is a Google Earth map towards the bottom of the page.
