Saw that bennet posted that the fire hut trails no longer have trees. That's a kick In the balls. LOVED that trail. Probably my favourite trail in the Cape.

Noooooo!!! ????

Heard on the radio that Stellenbosch University is evacuating the Sport Sciences buildings at Coetzenburg because of the proximity to the fire.

they did evacuate the building - as well as the agricultural buildings further up the valley. all the animals were moved away as well. it was done purely as a precautionary measure - to rather be safe and move everything in a "controlled" manner, than when the poo is in the fan and all hell is breaking loose

 

edit: whoever made the call to evacuate was smart !

So sad, and yes, I feel sorry for myself aswell, love that place, bought some of my bikes JUST to ride Jonkers. Heard rumours today about arson, and the reasons behind it, but wont post here. Bad day for most of us.

Taken from a different angle on a site at the foot of g spot about 14:15pm

 

Scary thing is we could hear the fire from this distance
