eala Posted January 16, 2023 Share I spoke to the manager last year before spring and already they were talking about it .The good rains we are having is not good for them .No customers and higher maintenance .When they started out we were just getting out of a drought so the trails were used a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowl Posted January 16, 2023 Share Ja very sad to hear and see. Trails were great and offered good variety. A shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theunissa Posted January 17, 2023 Share It's difficult to maintain all those tracks. And the road to the place is bad. I live close there and it's a nice place. The squatter camp doesn't make it better. Amazing how the uselessness and lack of care from municipality can affect a bussiness. It's not just rains. nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Myburgh Posted January 17, 2023 Share This is really sad. The Buffel is my favorite trail in all of Gauteng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobri Posted January 29 Share Hi guys, apparently they have re-opened, cannot find info on the internet but someone on FB commented, does anyone know for sure if they have opened? Which trails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebob Posted January 29 Share Seems like you need to join the club to ride there. Post below: eala, christinejvr, Danger Dassie and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnekop Posted January 29 Share I have a friend that lives there. They do ride there often but the tracks are no longer maintained. Almost overgrown at the moment after the summer rains. I think the locals still has a "club" there going but not open to the public as far as I know. Closest now is "Die Bosveld" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandro Posted January 29 Share Such a pity, I keep hoping they'll reopen some of the trails. The best trail park in Gauteng IMO. LukeLan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arno J Rossouw Posted February 4 Share There are about 30km trials open now. The maintenance was done by club members. The trails only have a chance to survive if more riders join the club. See info below. I rode there yesterday for the first time in almost a year. Happy to be back. I really missed Buffels christinejvr, Danger Dassie and Kuys 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
