What is the cross cape route for interest sake, cost, accomodation etc..?

The Cross Cape route is not a formal thing.
I have done it on my MTB and GG (pro's and cons for each)
The roads exist between the towns. You can break it up into your own manageable bits.
You can do it either way (Stellies & Plett)
You don't have to do the whole thing (first few days or last few days)
You book accommodation in the towns (I used Booking.com, but there are lots of platforms)
Create your own route and load to your device.
As you can see from this thread, logistics is a thing.
You can ride supported (with your own follow vehicle) or self supported. This is obviously part of your logistics.
Its safe (within common sense boundaries)
Its obviously weather dependent. You cover a lot of ground, so weather is variable.
Its awesome and should be on your bucket list.
