Title: De Doorns circle route
Post by: masehare on March 22, 2016, 08:52:25 pm
Deon scouted a possible route in De Doorns two weeks ago on his Varadero. The road became a bit hectic for the big bike, so he decided we should rather complete the trip with the smaller bikes. We left from Somerset West quite early with the bikes on a trailer and after two hours arrived in De Doorns. Deon's son came along as well, but forgot his DRZ's keys at home :dousing:. We were a bit pissed off with ourselves for not checking, but anyway... XR's don't need keys, so we left him to guard the bakkie and agreed to keep the route as short as possible.
Deon read up on it and this is the oldest train tunnel in South Africa. :deal:

Deon het 'n foto van die ontspoorde trein opgespoor:

:sip: Ek praat nou onder korreksie, maar ek vermoed daai trein het amper in De Doorns ontspoor, so twee km van die De Doorns stasie af, regoor die plek waar die Laer Skool later gebou is (ek het daar my skool jare begin)
Die koppie in die agtergrond lyk reg.

From what I can recall they used to add extra locomotives to get trains over the Hex River trajectory.
Before MTB'king became popular there used to be a cross-country race for runners (people that didn't have motorbikes).

Kyk vroeer in die thread - Dawid S het aangebied dat ons in daai omgewing kan gaan ry. Nou om net 'n gepaste naweek te kry...

Praat maar met my.
Hier is plek as die Beter Helftes dalk wil kom uitspan terwyl die manne in die veld is.

Dagsê, ek het nou bietjie in die verlede gaan grawe en hierop afgekom. Dit lyk na ‘n lekker roete en een wat ek nog nooit gery het nie.
Daarom my post, met wie moet mens praat, okr wie se grond loop dit en waar kry mens toestemming? Ek wil nie in iemand se geweer se teleskoop opeindig nie...
