Tubehunter Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Just received this in email... Wonder how many intend renewing their permit considering the increase versus the decrease in riding area?? To all Activity Permit Holders SANParks has an annual rates increase on 1 November 2015 From this date onwards the following tariffs apply for the renewal and purchase of activity permits. Level 1 Dog Walking R 250.00 Level 1 Multi User Additional member * R 100.00 Level 2 Hang/Paragliding/Rock R 385.00 Level 3 Horse/Mountain Bike/Line Fish R 510.00 Level 3 Additional member rate for cycling * R 215.00 The asterisk indicates up to three multi users can be registered at an additional cost
MTBeer Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Tygerberg R595 per year for a gazillion miles of single track (and it's expanding every year) plus Welvanpas thrown in for free. They can take Table Mountain and shove it.
kellyslater Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Level 3 Horse/Mountain Bike/Line Fish R 510.00 R510.00 !!! To ride where ?Table mountain jeep track only and no single track, Silvermine still not open even though no chance of trees falling or safety issues etcWhat a joke. Now they will feel the impact financially for not opening areas for us to ride...
Eddy Gordo Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 They will see some serious loss of income this year. However I wonder if they will notice or if they will notice and drop the price, or notice and then rush to get trails going.My money is on - they not gonna be bothered

Far more important things to consider at this point.
leaboy Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 I'd love to know how they decide on the license prices.
T-Bob Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Table mountain jeep track only and no single track, Easy there smellyskater... we're got 2 bits of single track up there and don't you forget it.
porqui Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 In the greater scheme of things it's not really an income to them. So why have it at all?
SuperDooperSnooper Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 To pay that much for the few times a year I may get to ride on the mountain and always have to look over my shoulder with pepper spray in hand? Forget it. I'd rather invest in club membership where I know I have safer trails, kilometers of singletrack which is kept in good nick and continuously expanded. Even though I have to drive half an hour to get there each time. SANParks has taken WAAAYYYY too much money of me already.

porqui Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 It seems that they are trying to limit, rather than encourage the use of TMNP One would think the more people on the mountain the safer it gets - or would it be more lucrative for shoppers?
