Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 20, 2016 Share Has the Franschoek valley one grown? Drove past at lunch and it was a smallish fire in some reeds right next to the road.wasn't so small this afternoon, from what I saw. could have been wrong, though. It did look rather large from Paarl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicoBoshoff Posted November 21, 2016 Share I suspect all those new Banhoek trails are a thing of the past. "Thankfully" this appears to be a fynbos fire, so after a good season of rain it should be fine again. Now I'm more concerned for the vineyards.

PhilipV Posted November 21, 2016 Share If the wind comes out of the North Jonkers will be threatened. I think it's too late for the new trails in botmanskop. And for the Banhoek Valley trails as well. Edited November 21, 2016 by PhilipV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted November 21, 2016 Share Aaah no - thought I saw a smoke plume while driving Ou Kaaps yesterday but it was hard to tell. Sounds like arson - again. That Botmanskop area is very easy to access from multiple points - great for us, but also good for the criminal scum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
