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

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.

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.

These trails are supposed to be used in Day 2 of Origin of Trails on 4 December.

I really hope the trails recover, or have an alternative option.

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...

5 separate ignition spots for those fires. All in the space of a couple of hours.

Got any sauce on this?
