Grabouw- ceres - Tankwa tented camp
So monday we got underway for the second time and made great haste of getting out of the wetter parts of SA, by mid afternoon we crossed the Theronsberg pass and at that moment we knew our chances of getting rain lessened by roughly definitely.
Short after the pass we hit what must be the smoothest gravel road in all of the country, we had 90km of gravel and then we would be reaching Tankwa which the scooters quickly put behind us.
We have now established the fuel consumption is roughly 28km/l which gives us a range of 150km and with our extra tanks 300km, this was handy because Ceres and Calvinia are the two towns furthest apart in the whole country(who chose this route?)
Special thanks to Bernard the supervisor of Tankwa tented camp for greeting us with two scrumptious brandy and cokes, definitely my favorite kind of greeting..
Tomorrow is a mammoth day of close on 500km all the way to Keimoes which is about 40km from Upington.
From the Tankwa
Cheers vir eers
Du Toit
