jannosmit Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Go check out the G-spot in Stellenbosch.. ask the locals where it is. its THE SHIZZ Yip. The thing is which makes G-spot so great, is because it is what you make of it. Everybody from my dad to the jumper/downhillers loves it. So many line to choose from depending on your skill and courage!

I have a 21 hectar piec of land in a nice area and are considering building a small 5-7km loop (zigzag etc) trail........ Spade, rake, pick axe and a little beastie called a mcleod. All you'll need unless you have access to a bobcat. Won't need a shovel unless you're shifting loose soil. A spade is far more useful. Can use it to do bench cutting, dirt shifting and stomping.

RockCoach Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Building single track is not as easy as it sounds. There are quite a few things you have to take into account if you want it to be sustainable and to drain correctly. Here is a how to guide to give you some pointers.http://bikefat.com/tag/how-to-build-singletrack/
Ceres Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 The way we do it on Eselfontein is we send Deon Malherbe out on his KTM motor bike a few times, then my friend and I come through with our farm labour (and ourselves) and clean it up with spades, pruning shears and a weedeaters. Rocky sections I found a good 5 kg hammer works wonders clearing unwanted rocks.
