Some of our CPT staff took some supplies to the guys this morning and apparently a guy called Nigel from Helderberg Neigbourhood Watch said that 8 helicopters and 250 people are monitoring and fighting the fires and it will be at least a week before the underground fires go out so there is lot’s still to be done.

latest is that the fire is in the well contained phase.

 

tomorrow I am allowed out to go look :)

Pretty sure g-spot is all good. Planning to ride there tomorrow.

 

For Bottleray Hills, coming from Stell side - go to Asara (if need day pass) or Overgauuw (not sure if they have passes). Can also enter off Devon Valley Road and ride up yellow loop (forget name of farm there).

please provide feedback as we wanna go sat

Thanks guys, going to head to Bottellary Hills to avoid fires and cause I haven't been there yet.  Hope g-spot will be good for you tomorrow droenn.

 

Start from Asara - you need to buy a day permit there.   Overgaauw don't sell permits.

Just thinking of Ride In.. I wonder if they will be OK while we have to stay away from Jonkers.. Must be facing a loss of revenue. 

As am I. Just paid for an annual permit. Wonder if I can claim a refund.

I also took out a year permit on the day the fire broke out (Monday). If they can use the funds towards restoration efforts I'd be happy to take the loss.

I Like that but can they? Better to get a refund and donate it direct, I think.

I wonder if there will also be a 6 - 24month public ban imposed as with the Tokai/Silvermine area .....

Jonkers annual pass should still be R215
