Goerapan - Hartebos

When the planning started to attend the Patrol 70th anniversary at Goerapan, I initially wanted to include a tour of southern Namibia, alternatively Kgalagadi whilst in the area. Well, that did not work out as planned... Mom decided that while I am going hin-hin in the dust, she will make use of the opportunity to stay at a friends place in Hartenbos that was made available for us, so I made the best of both worlds, hin-hin in the dust, travel through the Karoo which I love and spending time at the coast. :woo:

My route went as follows:
  • Centurion to Bloemfontein:
  • Bloemfontein to Goerapan via Kimberley
  • Event at Goerapan
  • Goerapan to Hartenbos via Upington, Keimoes, Kenhardt, Williston, Fraserburg, Leeu-Gamka, Prince Albert and Oudtshoorn
Whilst in Hartenbos I was requested by a client to attend to a matter in Pietermartizburg. So I accompanied the wife to Bloemfontein and from there to Pietermartizburg and then back home.

Dankie Piet, die grindpad van Leeu Gamka af en die Swartberg pas was die hoogte punt van daardie spesifieke dag!
En dan natuurlik Meiringspoort oppad terug!
