I wanted to get a bit more distance in so instead of turning left on Geelhoutboom (where Tramonto's entry is located), I decided to carry on straight, adding an extension that included Red Berry Farm, them doubled back ~80 meters to take a gravel road that heads into the backcountry. The road becomes quite overgrown after a while and has a fair bit of flood damage, but it was certainly passable on the bike. Until I got to a dam, that is - there I had to pick it up and scale either side of a small gully, crossing a narrow weir midway - fun stuff!
Incidentally, if you do go out, you'll notice that most of the gravel roads around Jonkersberg, Sinksabrug, etc. are being graded to get rid of the washboard effect from last week's heavy rains.
Oh, and no snakes today, just a couple of small tortoises who had their heads down, obviously also battling the prevailing wind like me (gusts to 33 km/hr).
