2019/08/10 - Riemvasmaak to Redsands
Distance: 385km
Moving Time: 4 hours, 13 minutes.
Stopped Time: 55 minutes.
Woke up in Riemvasmaak to the sound of a massive baboon barking. Very impressive hearing that echo through the kloof. Did not see the babboons, but they must have been very close.
Had coffee, broke camp and headed back out. Route I followed out of Riemvasmaak this time was through Riemvasmaak itself, on the gravel road that links up with the N14 just East of Kakamas. Reinflated my tyres just before the tar road at Lutzburg, collected family of a friend who needed a lift to Pretora and had a very quick chat with Forum member Jan Van Wyk there. After this, I crusied along the N14 until Redsands. Overnighted in Kuruman and had dinner at the restaurant there which is always fantastic.
