Ag nee jislaaik man!  We will be on the farm that week-end (we have to book and pay a very long time in advance) so will need to miss S'land, but if group 3 and/or 4 will be coming back via Skittery and Katbakkies , we would love to receive you on the farm (and maybe even show you a few Bushman paintings?)  We're on top of the mountain.

Hi Jinx,

Group 3 is fine.

Please confirm if you are both coming and then I will need names.

Make your Sutherland accommodation bookings ASAP.

Preferably meet in Cape Town but if you can't make this you can discuss your options with the ride leader nearer the time.

Please confirm ASAP.

Group 3 is now full.

Space still available in group 2 on the very nice Tar ride that Brian has arranged.

Group 4 still has space as well. Their ride is not a difficult one but will not be as easy as the beginners group.

On our recent visit there we met Rudy who owns a guest house called "The Cottage".

Also a biker (one of those Superbike things) and actually runs the Sutherland "branch" of Craig's Motorcycles which may be handy if one ever needs things like tubes etc there.

Rudy... used to be known as "Radical Rudy" but has calmed down some, so now goes by the name of "Rustige Rudy" Laughing

I stayed at The Cottage last year, and can confirm that there are electric blankets and there are wall sockets into which one can plug them in (unlike some other places which apparently lacked the sockets... bit of a lottery draw)... The Cottage is also in walking distance from Jupiter where we're having dinner, so very convenient...

In the end it's the life in your years that count, not the years in your life...
