Approximate Distance(s):

57km 640m ascent

90km 1290m ascent

The route is 'out and back' so at any point anyone can turn around and head back if they're struggling/having sense of humour failure

Entry Fee: Tin/packet of dog/cat food to donate to FORA (I will ask Amateur if she will kindly co-ordinate this again - even if she can't make the ride)

Facilities: Showers & Toilet facilities & pool (please rinse all your Breedts dust off before swimming)

Coffee & Muffins will be served before the ride.

Boerie Rolls & colddrinks will be on sale after the ride.

 

Directions:

 

 

From Joburg South take the N1 North and exit at the 14^th Avenue offramp, turn left at the offramp and at the 2^nd set of traffic lights turn right onto Hendrik Potgieter.

 

From Joburg North take the N1 South and exit at the 14^th Avenue offramp, turn right at the offramp and at the 3^rd set of traffic lights turn right onto Hendrik Potgieter.

 

From Pretoria take the R28/N14 towards Krugersdorp. At the traffic lights just before Krugersdorp hill, turn right onto the N14 towards Ventersdorp

 

Now we should all be on the same road:

 

Continue on this road until T-Junction @ R563; turn right towards Hekpoort.

• Keep right at the Ventersdorp split and continue for +-20kms.
  
• Next T-Junction turn right towards Hartebeespoort (R560/R563) (27d 36' 39" E, 25d 53'13"S) (This is where you would normally turn left to go to the petrol station). Keep on this road for +-2kms until you see a Hartebeesfontein sign turn left onto the dirt road (27d 37' 17" E, 25d 52' 51"S)
  
• Carry on for a further +-100m turn right into the first road - the sign says Bultfontein (27d 37' 13" E, 25d 52' 40" S) and carry on for a further +-500/600m.
  
• The entrance is on the RHS (look out for the blue HP6 sign) (27d 37' 26" E, 25d 52' 13").
  
• There will be someone to show you where to park when you arrive
  

There are ablution facilities (toilets and hot showers 3 ladies/3 mens) available
