I drive out to the farm in the Tankwa Karoo on a weekly basis. There are various routes to choose from to get from Cape Town to the farm just south of the Tankwa National Park. I calculated that I have a choice of 7 passes in the 250km plus another 4 within a 50km radius from the farm!From Cape Town to Ceres1 Du Toits Kloof Pass (scenic tar road, save R25 Toll fee)2 Or go via Wellington over the Bains Kloof Pass (very narrow and scenic tar road)3 Or go via the Nuwekloof Pass between Tulbach & Gouda (tar)From Ceres to the Karoo4 Gydo Pass (scenic tar)5 Katbakkies Pass (gravel & very narrow tar on steep sections, very scenic)6 Theronsberg Pass (tar, sometimes snow in winter)7 Swaarmoed Pass (tar, on the Matroosberg reserve road)In the Tankwa Karoo8 Ganaga Pass (gravel, very scenic)9 Ouberg Pass (gravel, very scenic some steep sections)10 Verlaatekloof Pass (to the farm via Sutherland, tar)11 Koedoesberg Pass (5km from the farm, rough gravel, need a 4x4 and can reach Sutherland by going over the Koedoesberg range)Choices, choices......... _________________2003 HILUX 2.7i SRX S/C; Solid front axle conversion with Cruiser coil springs, 4.88:1 diff ratios, Iron Man rear suspension with extended greasable shackles, Gearmax diff lock, 150 liter feul tank, NudgeM bumper with recovery shackles, BF Goodridge Baja 33x10.5x15 tyres

Quote:Brag jy of moan jy?Ja Pieter, ek brag, maar nie met my plasie nie maar wel met ons mooi Kaap (en die passe). Ja, ek beplan om die Hilux Clan te nooi sodra ek alles in plek het. Die kampplek is so te se klaar, die ablusie blok is op nommer 99 ek moet nog net die water aanlê en die donkie opkonnekteer. Daar is 'n 4x4 roete van 13km om julle besig te hou. Ek hoop daar is die jaar goeie blomme, maar die winter reëns was sover maar skraps. Ek beoog om so teen einde Augustus greed te wees, ek sal jou op hoogte hou. Ja daai klein wit spikkel is swifty!Attachment:
