Sticking to the roads should be fine. Some of the single track should also be ok, but use common sense and check things out first. Good to see some pine trees survived. Lets hope the rains does not do more damage.

Stellenbosch Trail Fund:

 

"Good news. The Jonkershoek gate has been opened for the public. This means the Circular Route and SOME of the Jeep tracks are open. Some of the roads are still closed though and please don't be silly and ignore warnings and taped off areas. (the management will consider banning and fining those who ignore it.

 

Most of the single tracks have been severely affected though and it would be in everybody's best interest to stay off them for now. We will be going into the tracks next week (post Cape-Epic) to asses which tracks can be opened and where we still need to ameliorate tracks. We will then give notice on what tracks are usable."

The public is reminded that due to the fire there last week, the Jonkershoek Nature Reserve will be closed until further notice

Philip, that tweet was from Friday last week, originally. I traced it to the original last night When looking for any official news. So its not current.

 

Jonkers IS open, but only on selected jeep tracks and NOWHERE else. If people are caught elsewhere there is a very good chance thar it will be closed again

Confirmed with Bennett. Open but limited to jeep track only, only on the right hand side.

 

Of course people are already flouting that so it may potentially be closed again.

coming or going? so southwest side of valley?

I am glad to hear its open. The circle route is my fiance's favorite ride ( she has a thing about not going downhill). Will try and go out there over weekend to collect my access cards. :)
