Shebeen Posted August 16, 2021 Share I have sent this all to info@capecycleroutes but never got a response, so might as well repeat here. There is the very doable option of cutting out the clanwillam dam section and using the niewoudt pass into algeria. we did it anti clockwise, starting from citrusdal in the afternoon and going straight up middelburg pass. made day 2 the big one but then you have oasis 1 hour ago, Headshot said: A map is all you need to plan your own route. just on that. the official map is pretty meh. it is 48mb and actually doesn't really tell you too much. https://capecycleroutes.co.za/route/cederberg-circuit as for accom, still a bit of a hack working it all out. I'd add algeria and bydidam and take out the one in Massachusetts https://capecycleroutes.co.za/accommodation Edited August 16, 2021 by Shebeen NC_lurker and Headshot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackb Posted August 16, 2021 Share Hi all I can highly recommend Slingsby maps. He's made 2 for the cedarberg the Northern and Southern. Outdoor warehouse sell them and they waterproof. They give great detail of the cedarberg. However they don't cover the section of Op die Berg. From this town it's sign posted to Citrusdal anyway.

There is a section where when the dam is full now you are just about water level. It is going to be an interesting one as far as I can see. this is what i was told. N7 got rebuilt higher up everyone with property within the new dam extent got compensated a while back. They are living for free now until they go underwater. i dunno what the plan is for the eastern road there. would make sense to rebuild the few bits that are submrged edit: it will be raised Edited August 17, 2021 by Shebeen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertusras Posted August 17, 2021 Share Off topic, but surely they're not increasing yield by only 70m3??? Edit: Quick Google shows 70 MILLION cubic metre increase. That makes a lot more sense.

dirtypot Posted August 25, 2021 Share I did this in one day and stayed at Gecko Creek, which was fantastic! It added a little extra distance and climbing but was worth it. It's a beautiful route which I'd definitely recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
