The road down to the Wilderness. f2a90f94-639b-400f-b037-e779239d5700.MP4 That's the Outeniqua Pass from Oudtshoorn. My dad crossed it this morning from his farm, and seeing this it seems I may call him and enquire as to what made him decide to be driving in this... edit - I lived in George my whole life until 2013 and I have never seen the pass like this. And I've seen some big rains fall, but from all accounts of friends and family still there this is the worst they've seen.

That is pretty crazy, wow. Saw a video of flooding in George today, it looked wild.

ChrisF Posted November 22, 2021 Share Any feedback on how far this flooding stretches ?  Sedgefield okay ? I recall a few years back with some heavy rains and the mouth of the lake to the sea artificially closed they suffered some losses ....

Sedgies is OK for now. River flowing over the Karatara and Hoogekraal low water bridges so riding up to Hoogekraal will mean you get a fun river crossing. The mouth is open and flowing strongly. You may want to not say "artificially closed" unless you want to raise the ire of some people. ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you  Jip, last time is was very much artificially closed, by means of buldozers .... they got their timing wrong and could not open the mouth in time and it caused lots of damage ..... "ire" did not begin to describe the "mood" ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was out on the Durbanville Hills the last couple of days and I tell you, the BIG gumtrees are having a lie-down in this Southeaster.
