Spock Posted December 17, 2015 Share Search this forum as well as 4x4community... There has been security issues at this venue in the past. Not sure if it has been resolved. Victor van Gaalen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piernas Flacas Posted October 8, 2016 Share Hi Hubbers! We're planning to go to Hennops tomorrow. Have all the security issues been resolved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uni Posted October 8, 2016 Share Hi Hubbers! We're planning to go to Hennops tomorrow. Have all the security issues been resolved?I was there a month ago, didn't know there were any issues, didn't feel unsafe at any time. While the parking was packed, only encountered 2 other mtbers, saw some hikers in the distance and 1 4x4 dude looking like he'd rather be on a mtb.

Only 3 other MTBers besides us. As you said we didn't feel unsafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomberman Posted October 10, 2016 Share did a ride there about 2 months ago, would recommend it for a nice family ride or something to do with wife. The trail has nothing hectic so you dont have to be super fit to ride it. You can also do some game viewing with the odd zebra there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love2fly Posted September 9, 2019 Share Howdy!I just thought I would provide some feedback. We did the 30km route yesterday (choosing not to do the newly added 8km section - which we will definitely do next week).This is one of the nicest trails I have ever ridden. Well maintained and perfectly signposted, you can't get lost - well not if you stick to the plentiful directional signs.Cost of R50 to ride the trails which have plenty of short cuts if you need to opt out anywhere, and then a great coffee and snack after plus an attentive property owner and trail builder in attendance to check if we enjoyed it.This is my new favourite!

Great trail that keeps you interested all the way through! You can decide to ride comfortably or hammer it and feel the front wheel almost losing grip going through the 'kyalami' corners stretch! Good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaredShiftless Posted March 16, 2020 Share Just some feedback on the Hennops MTB trail for all those in the Gauteng area. I rode this trail for the first time ever on Saturday - what a jol! I did the 36km loop and then added another two sections for a total of just over 50km. The trails are almost exclusively singletrack, beautifully maintained and very well marked - no chance of getting lost. I also saw several other lone MTBers out there and must say I never felt unsafe at all. The trails are non-technical but with about 750m of climbing in the 50km that I rode you can definitely get a proper workout there! I'm definitely going back soon! geomark and PieterJvR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevez Posted March 22, 2020 Share I think you just sold me for my next ride. With all the rain. Were the trails not over grown? Never been there before where did you park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadvdw67 Posted March 23, 2020 Share I think you just sold me for my next ride. With all the rain. Were the trails not over grown? Never been there before where did you park?The trails are in really good condition, I was there on Saturday, only the river section is closed at the moment, but apparently will be reopened soon. Just watch out for the Golden Orb web spiders, there are a LOT out at the moment, and those webs are seriously strong, so just be alert Edited March 23, 2020 by Chadvdw67 trevez and Rowl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
