MTBeer Posted June 5, 2017 Share Do it. Go!Here is my trail report:http://cycleculture.bike/garden-route-trail-park-2017/just got to disagree on the coffee shop though. Looking very meh at the moment (compared to 2 years ago when I was there). Staff also seem a bit disinterested. Maybe caught them on a bad day. But the trails make you forget all that.

Or maybe you are less hormone driven then I was as a Laaitie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to ride my bike and take photos and obviously explore a little. My original plan was to go to Namib to capture that beautiful scenery, but that petrol cost and distance... Although, my car is only a 1.0 litre and rides like a dream in terms of economy. I love being outdoors, in the nature. Camping is also a great option if I can find a camping spot near the trails.

Basically on site next to the coffee shop.Why not leave your car somewhere and do a bikepacking round trip on the area as well. There are backpackers in every little town. Maybe work in some if the Karoo as well? Damn I wish still had the flexibility and time that I had when I was your age. Pm me a link to your work please, even if it is insta, I'm really enjoying the young photographers work lately. DJR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be taking along my riding buddy (so two in total), but this can make accommodation payment easier due to splitting. But the GRTP is definitely one on my list! We would like to go ride each day and make the most of it. Going back to GRTP, will an HT suffice? Bikepacking sounds like an option too, like the adventure of it. The only problem is my camera gear. It is a must that it goes with. But I should survive. I did an 80km ride with it last time in Gansbaai, although it was mainly road, expect for a few farm roads. My back wasn't that sore. The Karoo, I will be able to capture some great pics there. Need to stop there as well. I would only have this flexibility and time in my matric vacation. After it, I going to be busy with studies... I will need to setup a budget this June holiday. I am saying a lot of things, but will I be able to afford it? I am sure my father will help me out, as I not going to Plett Rage or even that fancy matric boat thingy. Jeez, these girls in my class are going. R10 000 per head, because they need to fly up to Durban, etc. Oh, and don't forget the drinking money. Sure, I'll PM you quickly.
