MTB route - Brackenfell to Stellenbosch

[grungehead]

Can anyone be so kind and advice me on the following:

 

- a MTB route from Brackenfell to Stellenbosch: What is the route through the allowed farms and Bottelary MTB trails?

 

- MTB safety in Stellenbosch: Except J-hoek, how safe is Eden through to Paradyskloof these days? For a solo rider or max 2 riders?

From Brackenfell get on the Bottelary Hills mtb trails at the Hazendal entrance. Get on the green route, then onto the red route where the green and red routes connect. Follow the red route from there and it will take you all the way to Middelvlei in Stellenbosch. All info here. Make sure to get a permit, if you don't already have one.

 

We did Brackenfell to Stellenbosch via the Bottelary Hills trails onto Eden, G-spot, through to Coetzenburg, and back to Brackenfell the last couple of weekends. No safety issues in Eden, Paradyskloof, etc at all.
