idrive Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Although officialy Joburg, the Sizwe Hospital area is used by lots of East Randers (Edenvale) riders..... The area of Sizwe Hospital. That piece of open veld between Linksfield Rd and Modderfontein. Be very careful down in the bushes near the Sydenham side and in the secttion on the Modderfontein side of the river near that funny tunnel under the highway.idrive2009-02-09 08:01:22
idrive Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 This is also under the R21 Engen thread ...... The farmer on the piece of ground near the Dunblane Equestrian Estate on Marrister rd has dug trenches across all the dirt roads. This is the area on the way out to Bapsfontein from the Bredell Serengeti area. I've also heard tracks in the area have been booby trapped with spikes buried in the sand. These are evidently the same type of spikes that are usually put on top of walls to stop peaple climbing over. It appears that irresponsible QUAD riders are to blame for this farmer's latest bout of anger.
