Hellwarp Posted March 16, 2015 Share According to Volunteer Wildfire Services, Jonkershoek is off-limits till further notice. Does anyone have more info on the duration. They say "further notice" but would appreciate more detail.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 16, 2015 Share According to Volunteer Wildfire Services, Jonkershoek is off-limits till further notice. Does anyone have more info on the duration. They say "further notice" but would appreciate more detail. Thanks https://www.facebook.com/VolunteerWildfireServicesNo timeline yet, but expect anything from 6 months onwards. Those roots go on burning for ages and it would be irresponsible to open it up any time sooner. Same as tokai. (Deon) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piston ZA Posted March 17, 2015 Share Via the Wannabees FB page - Jonkershoek open again from today. I just spoke to Hans at the gate and we may ride all areas where there are no tall trees (risk of trees falling). So we are mostly restricted to the bottom 10km loop and the right hand side. Hans is confident that after the first rain the soil will stabilize and tree falling risk will be reduced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Massapuss Posted March 17, 2015 Share Well that's pretty good news. How fun is the bottom 10km loop? worth the drive from southern suburbs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johny Bravo Posted March 17, 2015 Share Well that's pretty good news. How fun is the bottom 10km loop? worth the drive from southern suburbs?Its not great, better than the road for sure. Usually its very very pretty at least. Have not had the heart to go look at the devestation yet, apparently its quite bad. Will miss my favourite trails.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 17, 2015 Share It is isn't itIF true, I Still don't know how they can allow that given that the entire fire hut trail was covered in trees, and is now most likely littered with sinkholes Thanks to the burning Roots. We know how that is, eh Mark. And tokai is still like that... Edited March 17, 2015 by El Capitan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
