Grebel Posted July 10, 2013 Share I live at Holla (about 1km away) and I work in Giba Gorge. I leave my mtb at the office during the week so in summer I'm in Giba every evening. Enjoying the best of both worlds at the moment but the commuting distance sucks, so busy selling my home in Ballito to move closer that side. I'm really going to miss that town, but won't be missing the insane development, queues and long weekend crowds there. Lot of Hillcrest residents feel the same way...

Grebel Posted July 10, 2013 Share Ja, we're looking at Glenwood area. Carte Blanche put me off your neck of the woods. Haha! We live in Hatton Estates, Pinetown (One of the nicer neighbourhoods. Rates are affordable and you get more for your money here compared to Westville, Kloof, Hillcrest etc.) Area is already built up so no new unexpected new developments. Shopping in Westville or up the hill is about a 15 minute drive including finding parking either way. Not sure where I would look if I was to move... tombeej 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skott5 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Ja, we're looking at Glenwood area. Carte Blanche put me off your neck of the woods. Lived in Glenwood / Umbilo all my life and it works for everything. Traffic has remained unchanged and it's easy to get in and out of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you end up at Winston Park you'll have direct access to Giba Gorge without having to ever drive your car there. There's a trail that runs from St Helier rd down into the forest, following the Giba river right into the mountain bike trails. Some nice walking trails in that forest too where bikes can't go. A lekker suburb. nickcza 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy two shoes Posted July 16, 2013 Share I've been noticing more and more cyclists - Roadies and MTB'ers doing circuits on Manning Road, past Girls high and then turning again at McDonald Road.Any of those guys here on the hub ? That section of road is very popular, especially between 5-6pm. I used to do those loops when I had spare time. Sometimes ride to Howard campus and do loops in the forest and do a couple more laps on manning, nice and wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
