Dibles Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 Mandibles where were you actually riding? Tamboti Game Lodge near Rust de Winter.
Paul Hunter Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 What sort of distance can you ride at this lodge?
Dibles Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 What sort of distance can you ride at this lodge? We did about 10kms per lap I think. It is VERY flat and non-technical.
markStockton Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Very nice pic's Mands. We have just got back and I'll work through and post photos over the next few days. The are a few stories to be told, incl: - The Chronicles of Slick, a story of camping in the wild in it's most challenging. - HR, chip in here. - and, the ride itself. Had a very cool time and really enjoyed the extra day with Slick and family as well as Eldron and co. All you guy's who bailed, you really did miss out. Calabash your guy was excellent, sorry if we broke him. Looks like he needs a fair amount more base before playing with the race snakes like Tnose_E, Great White, Slick, Eldron and Kurtis. Calabash, what are the chances of a night ride through the reserve? markStockton2009-01-02 10:33:29
BikerBoy Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Mandibles where were you actually riding? Tamboti Game Lodge near Rust de Winter. I must try that place.
markStockton Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Our camp at Nokeng Eco Lodge, later renamed to Ecoli Lodge by some one The Slicks arrive and set up camp next door. Important note, see the gazebo being assembled (more later) markStockton2009-01-02 10:40:17
markStockton Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Playing on the single track / obstacle course at the lodge. It was very overgroan and not used much, but we still rode it at least once every day. Lots of potential.
markStockton Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 What was left of Slick's gazebo after a storm in the early hours of 01-01-2009. I hope the rest of the year is better, Dude. The start / finish of the ride at Tamboti Lodge. Some of the ladies stopped after the first +- 10k ride. During the ride we saw zebra, giraffe and lots of different buck. However those pictures really suck when you resize them to under 100kb!
markStockton Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 The important post ride breakfast at Tamboti Lodge. Complete with good beer and champagne as promised by Calabash. Thanks Dude. Zoo Cookie and Mandibles. Our excellent guide, sorry I didn't get his name.
markStockton Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Back at camp and the pootjie is already on After the new years storm, the Slick family decide to move to a more sheltered camp site.
markStockton Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Move done, Slick unpacks his new phone. Mrs Slick and kids trying to figure the phone out while Slick consults the manual Kurtis, Sam and Eldron return from a run. (l-r) Slick, Mrs Slick, Eldron (fish and champagne please) and Sam at dinner on the 1st. Another campers tent after being battered by two storms on consecutive nights.
RockCoach Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 What sort of distance can you ride at this lodge?That's a good question. I think we managed about 40kms but that includes some roads being ridden two three four multiple times. We were just searching for that brilliant section of bermed quadbike track. Us fast guys wanted to race it again. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Calabash, what are the chances of a night ride through the reserve? [/quote']Great to meet you (and your extended family Mark). We've only just got back from the Vaal (fortunately we didn't have to camp there ). I'll post my report once I've downloaded all our photos.
kurtis Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 I hope that includes the scrap metel pictures and your new ground sheet:). Chat soon guys, I wonder when our GPS google photos are going to be put up.
