Now all I need to do is convince my riding pal to NOT bring his MTB or he is going to have a very slow and lonely ride He will probably be having a very slow lonely ride no matter what bike he is on Sandro and peetwindhoek 2
The Ouzo Posted July 29 Posted July 29 I received a pic and a video clip of what is claimed to be a fire at SBR yesterday afternoon, does anyone know anything about it ?

When we were there last weekend it was SUPER dry, wouldn't surprise me at all, but having said that, there were already signs all over of there having been controlled burns, still, it is entirely possible that an uncontrolled fire started with how dry it is there at the momentÂ

With the wind yesterday, I would not be surprised if it was a controlled fire that got out of hand, or even a fire from adjacent property that blew over into the reserve.
Frosty Posted July 29 Posted July 29 It's in the SE corner of the reserve,with the wind blowing from the SW, so it's currently limited to the far left (as you look towards the reserve). Lots of burnt areas on the flatter section between the hills and the R550.
