Does this mean that Modderfontein MTB may be done away with?

Hate to disillusion you but the conservancy which is to remain is a fraction of what we ride at present - you can get a feel for the eventual size if you study the newly erected fences - I fear there wont even be enough land for a 15km route

my concern is if they build it up and pollute it to the extent that you won't want to ride there anymore. I do hope that it doesn't happen but TBH i don't hold much faith in that happening. they can introduce animals etc, but things like the fish eagle is such an absolute pleasure but if the waterways are so polluted it's not going to stick around.

I do hope I'm wrong.

Look, this whole area behind the boerewors curtain is dodgy but living in the northern suburbs and facing that shlep in the traffic every day you can keep

got a bit lost around sandton surrounds today and i drove down a street that was just mansions after mansions .. and I drooled and I suffered wealth envy, but I would not be able to handle that traffic so yeah, I'm quite happy in the vale.

This issue has been discussed here before. There also was a Business Day report some time back arguing that the whole Chinese deal could still fall through. The Chinese company that plans to but the land (they haven't paid a cent yet) is smaller than the company here developing Waterall Estate.

 

Modderfontein will be developed eventually, but we're likely to have the trails for at least 5 years more, and probably much longer. There are lots of good plans for the trails, as per the other posts, so keep enjoying.
