Breedts Nek Hub Ride


Nancy Drew

Recommended Posts

Due to popular demand (and being harrassed almost to death by Agteros) we will have another Breedts Nek Group Ride on Sunday the 20th December.

 

My family have once again graciously offered their property as a secure parking area and meeting place.

 

The only request that they had is that you wash off most of the accumulated dirt from the ride in the shower before jumping into the pool Big%20smileWink

 

More details to follow.

 

Right lets start a list:

Entry Fee: Tin/packet of dog/cat food to donate to FORA

Facilities: Showers & Toilet facilities & pool (please rinse off before swimming)

 

Coffee & Muffins served before the ride. Boerie Rolls & colddrinks will be on sale after the ride.

 

 

Directions:

 

From Jo?burg South take the N1 North and exit at the <?: prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><?: PREFIX = ST1 />

14th Avenue
offramp, turn left at the offramp and at the 2nd set of traffic lights turn right onto Hendrik Potgieter.<?: PREFIX = O />

 

From Jo?burg North take the N1 South and exit at the 14th Avenue offramp, turn right at the offramp and at the 3rd set of traffic lights turn right onto Hendrik Potgieter.

 

From Pretoria take the R28/N14 towards Krugersdorp. At the old fourway stop (which is now a set of traffic lights), just before Krugersdorp hill, turn right onto the N14 towards Ventersdorp

 

Now we should all be on the same road:

 

Continue on this road until T-Junction @ R563; turn right towards Hekpoort.

Keep right at the Ventersdorp split and continue for +-20kms.

Next T-Junction turn right towards Hartebeespoort (R560/R563) (27d 36? 39? E, 25d 53? 13? S) (This is where you would normally turn left to go to the petrol station). Keep on this road for +-2kms until you see a Hartebeesfontein sign (you will see an abandoned white building with a coca cola sign called Geolin coke distributors) turn left onto the dirt road (27d 37? 17? E, 25d 52? 51? S)

Carry on for a further +-100m turn right into the first road - the sign says Bultfontein (27d 37? 13? E, 25d 52? 40? S) and carry on for a further +-500/600m.

There is an entrance to a farm called Rainbow?s End (pink sign) on the RHS?. DON?T use this entrance? but the one just before (there is a blue HP6 sign) (27d 37? 26? E, 25d 52? 13? S). Turn left as soon as you can i.e. go to the LHS of the concrete dam ? I will show you where to park as soon as you arrive

There are ablution facilities. The ablution block which many of you will remember was fairly rough and ready last year is now tiled. There are hot showers available 3 ladies/3 mens.

 

Just a friendly reminder to have a quick rinse-off in the shower if you plan on jumping into the pool. Last year the pool was fairly disgusting after everyone left (the little pond/dam thingy in Parys at Crater Cruise comes to mind LOL)
