jiggs Posted August 7, 2012 Share Weet nie of dit in die Baviaans ook so reen soos hier in die Overberg nie, want dan gaan slegs 'n duikpak jou droog en warm hou. Edited August 7, 2012 by jiggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can check the weather for the baviaans farming community on www.yr.no then do a search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrailWarrior Posted August 8, 2012 Share A week & 1 day to go!! Looks like my riding partner with a knee ailment is biting the bullet (having intensive physio - seems to be helping) and we still holding onto our 1st Trans Baviaans dream In the event of him starting the race and his knee hampering him from continuing say after 100km,, what happens? I believe it is a case of me having to team up with someone else? Anyone had experience with this kinda thing happening?? See long term weather forecast not looking too bad for next week.....

You can team up with someone else but I think it is not that easy finding someone willing to take you in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Low Posted August 8, 2012 Share Well I'm taking 2 pairs of sealskinz with, and I think I will take an extra 2 pairs of regular socks. If the river crossings are knee high, I don't see any socks preventing us from getting wet.Sure, but with sealskinz, take them off to cross just in shoes and put on again to keep feet dry in-between crossings.

Spurs Posted August 8, 2012 Share Sure, but with sealskinz, take them off to cross just in shoes and put on again to keep feet dry in-between crossings. Thanks, we were actually discussing this last night, and how we were going to approach the river crossings. Are any of the crossings high enough to get our chamois's wet?

hboli4 Posted August 8, 2012 Share With the amount of watercrossings the 'take-off-put-on' sock routine will probably add at least an hour to your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
