BrandonF_ Posted August 30, 2015 Share What farm is this? Contermans? I am really keen on driving over to the N-subs for a Tygerberg hills ride. Looks amazing at the moment.The first 3pics were taken at Bloemendal and the other two on the Green corridor between Contermans and Meerendal. All the trails are fantastic to ride atm PhilipV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanbean Posted August 30, 2015 Share I went for an exploring ride on Saturday, using paper maps and with some referance to google earth, to find a ridable route between Kei Mouth and Wavecrest Hotel. The huge obstacle is the Kobonqaba river, which is often deep over the rainy season. Waiting for the ferry, youhave to wait for acar to come,they won't cross for a cyclistCoral Trees flowering is a sure sign of springKobonqaba valley flood plainsThe crossing point in the valleyCliffs above the riverAnother view of the crossing, from the other side NixM, sawystertrance, bullet77 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanbean Posted August 30, 2015 Share The mouth of the KobonqabaWavecrest HotelThe view, all I wanted was a cup of coffee. I was offered instant, but asked for filter, which they kindly made for me, then charged me nothing.Finally on the beach after crossing the Kobonqaba river at low tide, waist deep, and almost getting caught in quicksand, a very real danger on the bigger Transkei rivers, along with Zambezi's BSG, BrandonF_, sawystertrance and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uni Posted August 31, 2015 Share The mouth of the Kobonqaba/Oh wow. Wavecrest - that place still around? As a student after getting paid for an internship I took my first solo holiday there. Got flown in on a 4 seater plane, spent my days rowing boats and playing on the beach with their dogs Would've been amazing if I rode a bike back then. Very jealous Mr dean.
