_David_ Posted November 15, 2021 Share 3 hours ago, RocknRolla said: I have been off the bike since my last post. The last week saw me overindulging in birthday festivities, thus my ride yesterday at VG with the missus was. Tough, to say the least. Came upon this dead puffy, was smack bang in the middle of the trail. I moved it over to the rock on the side of the trail, so that scavengers may get it. By the time we hit Greek church climb, temps were well into the 30's. I was sweating the last 3 days's beer out at an alarming rate. Made it to the shade of the church (it was sunday after all) Then, time for recovery at Ale House. I need to go back to VG! Haven't been there in years, I last rode there just after Eric had his accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, my bad, you are right, forgot about Night Adders, they look quite similar, Egg Eaters and Night Adders that is Edited November 15, 2021 by Chadvdw67 DJR, gerriemtb and TheoG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first photo is on the "main" road about 8 km south of the National Park offices. The other 2 are on the way to the Langkloof Camp site. From the park offices, Langkloof is about 15 km up the Kloof. I camped at Perdekloof. Danger Dassie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Legs Posted November 15, 2021 Share 1 minute ago, copperhead said: Thanks. I think I know where they are. Did you do gannaga pass at all? I am planning to go back there to ride up it. Think your photos are about 25kms away ???? Awesome pictures. I did Gannaga with the bakkie on Saturday to go and watch the rugby at the Lodge. Your sums are close, Gannaga Lodge was 35km from Perdekloof and from Perdekloof to the main through road is 7 km. So Gannaga Pass with the bike is still on the to do list. A few years ago on a hike across the Tankwa, I hiked up the Pass and stayed at the lodge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
