BrianMTB Posted January 27, 2014 Share Hi, Does anyone have any routes saved for routes / trailes out the back of chartwell / broadacres? I'm interested too, maybe combine the Lanseria loop and Muldersdrift? Any advice on security on those trails?

SimpleDom Posted January 27, 2014 Share Would also be interested in a ride with someone who knows the area, after which I will share the GPX file... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimpleDom Posted January 27, 2014 Share Or if we get enough of a group together, I think I know where it starts and we could go looking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyjames Posted January 27, 2014 Share Midweek or weekends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramrod Posted January 27, 2014 Share Also interested in routes out that area. Wasnt safety an issue a little while back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimpleDom Posted January 28, 2014 Share I think weekends work better for exploring, but I could try fit in midweek too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimpleDom Posted February 15, 2014 Share So I went and did some exploring and found some stuff. If anyone is interested, I'll upload the GPX file... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianMTB Posted February 15, 2014 Share So I went and did some exploring and found some stuff. If anyone is interested, I'll upload the GPX file... I've been exploring there too and have a couple of GPX files to share. On today's ride though I went past a group of riders who had stopped on the trail. I greeted them as I rode past (I was alone) and heard one of them yell after me that he hopes "I have an Uzi in that backpack". This immediately made me nervous as the routes do go through some areas with high foot-traffic of the affirmatively disadvantaged. is it safe to ride in that area alone? I know that the route from Chartwell to Northern Farm is a no-no. below is the route I did this morning. SimpleDom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beet_F Posted February 15, 2014 Share Wife and I did a very similar route once and the only area we had an issue was after crossing the N14 and going over the road heading towards Northern Farm(R114) a "rabies infected" dog chased us until we crossed the river at the bottom. There is however another single track you can take that goes more to the left and not past the shacks that could help you avoid that... Don't feel all that comfortable with the area as you pass Lanseria and I've heard of guys picking up trouble where we got to know that dog. Very nice route but everything points towards riding in a group. You only have one life so why take a chance? BrianMTB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimpleDom Posted February 15, 2014 Share OK, so your route was a little different to mine. I'll post a pic of mine now, but would love a copy of your GPX file if possible? I've been exploring there too and have a couple of GPX files to share. On today's ride though I went past a group of riders who had stopped on the trail.

SimpleDom Posted February 15, 2014 Share Here's my route. Total of 38km from Craigavon. Includes some stuff out the back of Fourways gardens though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
