Off road weekend : Gifberge : 5th - 6th June

Due to the cancellation of our West Coast Tour I have tentatively booked us the Waterval Resort  www.watervalresort.co.za situated in the Gifberg Mountains just outside Vanrhynsdorp.

This lovely resort with it's beautiful Waterfall and tame sheep has 15 cottages that sleep 4 people each (open plan) at a cost of only R250.00 for 4 people sharing. Or if you want some privacy R250.00 per couple.

Camping is also an option at R50 per tent plus R10 PP.

Although the resort is self catering they are prepared to arrange a braai for us. I will confirm this cost in due course once I see the responses.

Our ride will depart from CT early on Saturday morning heading via Citrusdal to Vanrhynsdorp for an early lunch. After lunch we will ride the Gifberg Circular Route arriving at Waterval in the late afternoon.

On Sunday we will depart after a self catering breakfast and make our way towards Niewoudtville then from there to Clanwilliam and on home.

You will need to bring your own bedding (sleeping bag), drinks, snacks & breakfast.

OBS, Gluhwein and warm clothes will be the order of the day/night.

I have not made a decision yet on the back up vehicle but if we take it it will add about R100 PP to the trip depending on numbers.

I suggest that this route would not suite rank beginners but if you have done the Cederberg Oasis ride you should be fine!!

Interested?

Let me know on russell@aroma.co.za, and/or on this forum thread.

Including your accommodation option.
