Thanks everyone for the help. Very much appreciated! Herewith the latest route plan. 

 

Day 1 Peregrine to Stanford  (no changes, same as above)

Day 2 Stanford to Elim (no changes, same as above)

Day 3 Elim to Bredasdorp via Cape Agulhas (big changes to avoid the tar road between Bredasdorp and Struisbaai. Route now follows a more direct path south through, what appears to be a rideable old access road, then a anti-clockwise route via Struisbaai to get back to gravel roads to cut out the tar back to Bredasdorp)

Day 4 Bredasdorp to Witsand via Malgas (no changes)

Day 5 Witsand to Stilbaai

Day 6 Stilbaai to Gouritz (big changes thanks for comments above, the last bit along the coast is optional, but goes up to the point where there appears to be a fence on Google Maps)

Looks awesome - if you want some company I will join you on the 1st half of Day 6 - can show you a "secret" shortcut trail out of Stilbaai so that you can skip the tar road out of town

Looks like an awesome route, I had the same idea in my head after doing the Cross Cape and you've now made it a lot easier for me 😉🤙 Keep us posted on how the trip goes please.
