I'm still really bummed about the curfew situation, by my calculations we need 1-2 hours grace, max. Anyway we'll see how the whole camp over thing works, unless we're super lucky Good luck hey, we're also going to try and miss the "camp @ CP#5 situation" ????.

For the guys coming from Cape Town, we're stopping at Diesel&Cream in Barrydale around 10:00 for a brekkie and beer, pop in! You want to start carboloading early tomorrow.

DieselnDust Posted August 26, 2021 Share On 8/25/2021 at 12:05 PM, Headshot said: Good luck guys and girls. We drove most of the Baviaans a few weeks ago after the first snow but just before the really heavy weather that saw snow all over the area at road level. The corrugations are pretty terrible most of the way but at least the route is more interesting once it enters the nature reserve section. Some sections of the descent on the pass before Smitkraal are more like a 4x4 route than ever. What do racers do about staying dry on the long river crossing sections of track? Just get wet feet and live with it? booties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicky DQ Posted August 27, 2021 Share Seems normal. On our last TB I went and purchased a 2 plate stove which we used for the whole night as a heater. Even then the water bottles standing in the room froze over the top of the water. Strongs guys. I am entered but cant make it so ......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
