We working together with Oakpics to bring a photographic workshop to the farm, this will be for those not riding. It will be affordable as you already have your accommodation and food sorted and just need to attend. Keep watching the Makadas website for more info on this. Then we adding one brand new stage this year: You will be doing the awesome trails and single track of Gecko Rock where the Star Gazer is held yearly. NOT TO BE MISSED!

Any news on the photographic workshop?
knippie Posted October 21, 2013 Author Posted October 21, 2013 Yes we have space still. It is hard for me to know what do you mean by average fitness (this is all relative), but in general yes you should be able to complete it.
knippie Posted October 21, 2013 Author Posted October 21, 2013 Oh and also remember you enter for the event and not for the long or medium distance, cost is the same and the number boards identical. You may choose to do the long or medium route at the start of the day or even when you get to the split in the route. This event is not timed and it is not a race and we stress the point that we do not want racing mentality on the event....
Jacques Viljoen Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Great I have entered and boeked campsite ... Cant wait
