They were on the radio the other day moaning about how they get less money from government but they still have to preserve the place and pay peeps. 

 

They were saying thats why none of the money goes to trail maintenance. Its a bit of a joke, major draw card for Cape Town is our natural beauty, brings in plenty dosh, but do you think the Government would spend some money to preserve it. Nope, they can create another form of tax. 

They get  nearly R100 Million a year out of TMNP - (90 Bar alone t/o at Cape Point according to Gavin Bell to me 2 years ago) The amount they would have to contribute to the trails from activity permits is negligible in comparison but would do so much to win public support and ensure the trails are up to scratch. The battle on this front continues...

Expect the whole of the greater cape town to be there saturday.

That said most other trails most likely to be empty

I rode Cobra and it is very rideable - has lost some of the punch in its venom - many turned around before getting to its entrance as the grass is dense and tall but worth while.

 

Loved the Bridle Path (Switchbacks) - some nice berms and jumps but pleeaasee don't drag the rear wheel round the berms they will be ruined as they need rain to compact them.

I'm not surprised with the amount of time that you've spent there!

[Eddy Gordo]

We need a million times more than the little coming tomorrow. But every bit counts

Should be more than we've seen in a while. 14 mm over 9 hours isn't heavy.

But its no drizzle either.

But I have noticed how rain and cloud cover forecasts has been exaggerated lately.

Lets hope they got it right this time.

There's a fire in Masi. And it's running, apparently

Last update seemed to indicate that it was out or at least contained.

Probably the average over 24 hours. The off shores are blowing hard in falsbay now.

I see some wolkies coming too. Lets hope it pours إن شاء الله‎‎,

[Eddy Gordo]

Well, its supposed to rain near the end of next week as well, for a few days. Lets hope and pray this happens. I reckon a 3 to 5 day spell of solid rain will be great

[Larry King]

Saturday is going to be messy.... i cant wait

I think the fire in Hout Bay would have been more of a concern for Tokai than Masi
