Beer4Recovery Posted September 10, 2012 Author Posted September 10, 2012 Has anyone done the Berg & Bush before?? From the lack of replies it looks like this will be a first for us all?! Well I guess you learn as you go along....
Beer4Recovery Posted September 12, 2012 Author Posted September 12, 2012 Had to ask the question on FB, since nobody on this forum seems to have done Berg and Bush before. Here is the reply with regards to packing:
Grease Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Great. Thanks for the tenacity there FuelEX. Anyone know how this tog bag compares in size to the container supplied at Sani?
Beer4Recovery Posted September 25, 2012 Author Posted September 25, 2012 No idea Grease! I wish people who had done this event before could share some info on this tread! Another question, do you need to provide your own mattress? And is a sleeping bag necessary?

Beer4Recovery Posted September 25, 2012 Author Posted September 25, 2012 Packing list: http://www.bergandbush.co.za/descent/pack-list-fedgroup-berg-bush
Grease Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Route Profiles for Day 1-3 It appears Day 2 or 3 has been duplicated there...I'm hoping the missing profile doesn't look quite as aggressive!
Stretch Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 It appears Day 2 or 3 has been duplicated there...I'm hoping the missing profile doesn't look quite as aggressive!although day2 the vertical exaggeration is very high so it appears a lot worse than it actually is...but......dont get me wrong...there are some nasty climbs on that day...and as far is know..thats spionkop day
Beer4Recovery Posted September 25, 2012 Author Posted September 25, 2012 FINALLY! SOME REPLIES! Yup, saw that now and removed day 3's profile. Hope we will see an update on that soon.

Beer4Recovery Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 Do you guys pack a small medi-kit on stage races?
Greg29 Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Great. Thanks for the tenacity there FuelEX. Anyone know how this tog bag compares in size to the container supplied at Sani? I think you just take your own tog bag - not like Sani where you get a container. Ramrod 1
Ratty Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Less than a month to go, I'm starting to get nervous and excited.
Beer4Recovery Posted October 2, 2012 Author Posted October 2, 2012 How hectic is the first day of Berg & Bush?
BushGoblin Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 the first isn't bad at all, just pace yourself. Also try not doing a unicycle trick and crack your ribs and bust your shoulder in the first 17km Day2, pace yourself when you get off the dam trip, it is a very long steady climb and down to climb spienkop.Day3, pace yourself at the begining, the rest is pretty easy.
