dev null Posted November 22, 2016 Share I am still hoping for lots of rain, but both YR and WindGuru says only a spittle will fall tonight. So, I don't know where our national weather service get their info from. http://traveller24.news24.com/News/WeatherUpdate/weather-update-heavy-rain-heads-for-sa-20161121 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowbee Posted November 22, 2016 Share the fire is on the hairpin bend. sort of between the N2 and the railway. They are just letting it burn away, no real wind and no real threat yet. Just lotsa smoke. The bigger issue is the shack fire in Nomzamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Posted November 22, 2016 Share can we still ride Jonkers the weekend or is it closed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev null Posted November 22, 2016 Share AFAIK the fire did not enter the Jonkershoek conservation area. Yet. Let's hear from someone that actually know what's up. Holding thumbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSW Posted November 22, 2016 Share I don't think the fire entered Jonkershoek - it was more towards Botmaskop and was fairly high up on Sunday evening, but the wind pushed it quite low towards the farms during the evening/early morning. Will post a picture tomorrow that will show a clearer picture of the area that were burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLuvsMtb Posted November 22, 2016 Share Jobkershoek was still open on Sunday. I'm planning a ride Thursday morning and will keep everyone informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunu Posted November 22, 2016 Share Rode in Jonkershoek today. No problems in Jonkershoek valley. The fire never came over the ridge. So it's open for riding. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Eddy Gordo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
