Madeira Farm - Clarens
We went to Madeira, a farm near Clarens belonging to a friend of mine. The farm stretches from river bed altitude right up to the highest mountain top in the Clarens area. The farms is covered with 4x4 roads to the most awsome spots very high up. I will classify the farm road to be at least a 7/10 4x4 standard. The real testing part cosists mostly of rock climbing/crawling. The farm roads is also part of the mountain bike nasional championship series. Unfortunately it is private and allows no visitors. The view makes for excellant sundowners. Next stop....camping right up there for a weekend.

Re: Madeira Farm - Clarens
Jules, ek stem saam. Ons sal net voor die tyd moet aanbeveel dat al die kusbewoners se voertuie hul asem holtes mooi moet skoonmaak. Hulle hyg nogal na asem op daai hoogtes...ha...ha..

Great pics JG,
The one at dusk and the cars in the foreground could have won a prize, but the vehicles needed tad more highlighting maybe?
But great photos.

Chris
