feetup Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 How do you get there and where can you doss?? I know it is in Natal sort of near Mooi River??I'm not sure on your budget or volume of people you will be looking to bring down, but i could hook you up with Sarah Drew from active escapes?http://www.active-escapes.co.za/activity/mountainbiking/mtb.htmlShe will set up accommodation for one or 20 and even arrange a guide should you want to do 60km-100km per day.

jimmycool Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I guess I'm spoilt since I live in Howick and my first ever experience of single track was Howick/ Karkloof when I first started riding MTB 2 years ago and whenever I rode with people from out of town I couldn't understand why they would rave so much about the trails until I started riding in other areas and then I realised how incredibly awesome they are!I used to think that this what all trail networks were like!

Will be mid may One of the added advantages of Karkloof is that the Midlands Meander is right here too. Howick is the start point of the Meander and there are several routes to follow...so plenty for the non-rider to do (maybe set a limit n the credit card though! ) The Midland Meander is a network of craft shops and restaurants/coffee shops. Accomodation wise...there is everything from Camping to BnB to 5 star hotels... PM me if you need some pointers ( I live in Howick, ride Karkloof/Howick and know which places stock the cheapest ...ummm...post ride beverages)

I see there's even a spa that should twist her arm. Tx.
Guest Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Sounds good. I see there's even a spa that should twist her arm.Tx.The Spa is actually over the Karkloof mountain at Albert falls dam(about 20 Km). I have a friend who owns a B&B in Howick so if you are still looking for accomodation give us a shout. Another interesting feature close by is the Karkloof canopy tour. A bit expensive and you might have to book in advance but worth a shot if you're into adventure stuff. Uni 1
Warren_G Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 It really is an amazing place some of the best trails in the country and as previous posters have said you'll struggle to find anyone else out on the trails outside of events. Defensibility planning a trip back to PMB soon!

My OH has been nagging to go to Karkloof, just checked some videos... Some scary bits but glad to see there's chicken runs too - looks awesome, I'll just have to be brave and HTFU Just don't want to be too selfish and make sure there's something for the non riders. Fingers crossed she says cool
