Waterkloof Quarry - would have been nice to have trails there

[RABUBI]

Pity that this piece of property is just lying there.

 

I read on a bassing forum that there was plans at some stage to develop the quarry and to include MTB trails as well.

 

Seems there is a big legal courtcase surrounding this area.

 

Would have been nice, do a few trails, catch a bass or two..

Yip, the whole Waterkloof area and surroundings lends itself to a nice mountain bike track in a suburban area. Just think if you could start at Wolwespruit (do a 15km), push some single track opposite the highway in Waterkloof Park on the way through to Quarry (do a 10km), proceed to Klapperkop (do a 20km), go down to Groenkloof (do a 25km) and finally Voortrekker Monument (for another 20km).........90km and most probably close to 1700m (or more) of climbing.................all in a morning.

 

Maybe even 100km with 2000m climbing with some proper route planning...... ........STRAVA!!!!

 

End off at any coffee shop for a cuppa.............in a 3km radius.

 

......and somwhere in Waterkloof there is this section for training.......lekker man, lekker.
