Whats up with the complete lack of marked signposts at Van Gaalens? For non regulars you basically have to follow any path you find and hope to see a sign lying on the ground every 50km.

Because it goes over various farms and pvt lands the markings regularly gets stolen / moved by the guys using the trails as walking paths. Really not as bad if you know the place. Also if you have a garmin, download the gpx file and upload as a course.

I actually hit an electric fence there the once and it got stuck in the rear cassette... Let's just say it was a shocking experience :blink: :blush:

My advice is to join someone who knows the place. Awesome
