New Track: Jonkershoek

[Piston ZA]

Just saw a post on Facebook that Jonkers was closed for some reason. No details given.

Apparently there was protest action there yesterday (from the MTO Jonkershoek Facebook page).

EDIT: But it will be open tomorrow right?

There will be start/stop protests the whole weekend. Stay away and starve them of the attention they crave.

Enough of the sweetest mountain water ever!

Have some cookies while you enjoy the views ....

Dont know whether Jonkers would be open this weekend. I will go see myself later today.

Where are the protests?

[Jewbacca]

I did mention them in my earlier post... Shows you that no one actually reads anything! hahahahaha

 

The protests are along the Jonkers Valley road. The cops actually blocked the road off on Thursday 

 

Not sure if it's open today but in the nature of our uncertain times I would go and ride G-spot/Eden/Paradyskloof instead.... That combo is pure gold. Some of the most fun trails in the Western Cape

That road is not just a few km long.

 

Near the town or near the entrance gate ??

It was closed past the ride in.

 

So an exact location is not really possible without drone or helicopter footage.

 

Our plan was to park in town or at the ride in and 'ride in' but the coppers turned us away

Trails are Open. Check Bennet Nel's Facebook for updates, or jonkershoek fb page.

Well then... Better luck next time.

Drove there this morning for a breakfast. Saw a few spots between postcard cafe and the gate where some idiots made fire in the road. Police where on standby this morning but all seemed calm. For now....

Gates open at 7am, you can get a permit at the gate for R50 per day. You can pay with Zapper/Snapscan/Card/Cash.

 

If you have an annual permit you can enter earlier. You can also buy that for R600 per family of 4. Well worth it.

 

Route markings have been updated quite significantly. Easy to find your way to the start of most trails now.

 

Status Quo = Crap your pants steep and techy

Iron Monkey and Plumber = Black routes

Red Phoenix, Armageddon, Fire Hut = Red Routes

Never Ending Story = Blue Route

 

There are also some other trails incl green ones, but the above mentioned are the more poppular ones.

How does the family permit work?

 

Can 4 mates buy like with the wild card?

 Likely not. As with TBMTBC a family is regarded as 2 adults and 2 children. You also have to submit ID nos
