Just got off the phone with Debbie - their ticket office is open 6am to 6pm, so tickets no prop - (R180 for 20 or R18 for 1)

Thanks guys.

 

Greatwhite, singular ( http://www.northernfarm.co.za/ ) seems to work for me.

It's like that with everything Thug. As soon as they build it and they come, they push up the prices. Still very cheap though.

I see the greateggwhite has already posted my map 'n all. Will make some print outs with the aerial photo - should be easy enough to follow.

 

Welcome to the 'hub'' date=' slick

 

Thanks for the the 'eggwhite' thing, I see thats stuck

[/quote']Only saw your ninja edit now...

 

I thought it was kinda clever. What with your radical change of diet - eating egg whites in the morning - and if you remove ate out of that lot you end up with... oh never mind!

 

Anyway, hope the "egg" on your face doesn't stick for too long.

This is the map over the aerial photo if anyone is interested.

 

 

 

 

 

Hello, this is your course guide speaking....

 

Now, before this became the great NF Hub expedition of epic proportions there were going to be 5 of us doing a recon. This meant that we were going to ride the first half of the old route (green line) just to erase the slight doubt about the locality of points #1 and #2 on the map above.

 

Now, either the NF regulars here on the Hub can confirm that they are 100% confident they know these points OR:

 

(1) I am going to have to arrive 30 minutes earlier (any volunteers -  danger dassie?) to ride to those points on the green route.

 

(2) The whole tribe of hubberscan do the old route first as a warm up...

 

(3) We do the new route and I and/or other NF regulars can scout ahead.

 

So, what's it gonna be?

 

PS. I'd rather not do (1) - for dd's sake have a heart.

 

[_Daemon_]

Let's do 1

[Tyner]

Agreed

[Thug]

What's the point of riding the old route?

 

Definitely vote for route No. 1 (in yellow).

I thought I spelled it out. I'm not 100% sure I know the exact point where yellow deviates from green (#1 on the map). If I'm to be responsible for getting 25+ mtbers around the actual yellow route I'd like to know for sure.

 

If you know it then problem solved.

A few of the riders got GPR on their bikes . Export the google earth image to that little device and I am sure you will not get lost . Anyway it is north farm , if you don't climb fences you will not be lost forever !

[Thug]

Ok, I have plotted the whole route on Google Earth and put placemarks at various points.

 

For those that have GPS's I can email all those placemarks for you to upload.

 

PM me with your email addy.

Getting lost isn't really a big concern. It's more about staying on the right trail.

[/quote']Cool.

 

I don't have a GPS but nice to have some sort of backup.
