Didn't they bulldoze another small town that was in the way of the mine?

Yup. Original Sishen town is now gone, they have a handful of residents in Dingleton that are refusing to budge and are trying to milk Anglo for every penny they can. Good for them I guess.

A bit of Thaba fun (not the climbing)...met 2 young lads,twins. ( and think it was there step Dad ) it was cool to join them and watch the youngsters .

What's the condition of Thaba now post lockdown? I've been meaning to give it a go at some stage as its relatively close to me and by accounts gives some decent technical riding options.

I can only comment on the green route and that has been well maintained and even improvements and changes done during lockdown. @Pikey can comment on the more 'gnarly' bits...

Ran there this morning. Green route plus a couple blue pieces thrown in. Condition overall is good. They burnt the veld last week so not alot of long grass. Trails themselves pretty well maintained. "Henry" was a little overgrown but nothing serious at all.

 

 

For R20 it's an absolute bargain.

Atlantic Ride - With Beattbox and T. The ocean out there is angry like I have not seen it before from Chappies.Massive swells are rolling in from the Southwest, smashing themselves into a foamy froth against the foot of Chappies. Beautiful! Dramatic! Got wet and cold, but also grew a big fat grin in the process!

As NSBB said the green is very well maintained . Wendell has added some nice little additions to the green. Rode there today again and some more blue bits..most of it pretty ok . Last bit from Barry’s point is a tad overgrown but all the bits I did are completely rideable . Some nice new jumps and rock rollers ????????

 

Always keen to ride there ,drop me a pm if you keen .
