On the Road Again - Kroonstad, Gariep, Karoo National Park, Oudtshoorn, Hartenbos.
Final packing today tomorrow we start our tour. First stop is the AP Kerk in Kroonstad, nice easy drive 256 Km.This will be the first overnight stop on our way to Hartenbos again for a month. Thereafter we will see which way the compass points us.
We have three other stops along the way Gariep, Karoo National Park and Oudtshoorn. Its going to take me two weeks to get there. Looking forward to a nice slow, easy drive and some new places along the way instead of just taking the usual route.
You must enjoy the trip. Just the fact that you have time on your side should make the trip worthwhile.
Travel safe! ! !

Thats the way to do it Brian- enjoy!
Het is beter rijk te leven dan rijk te sterven
Tks guys we are going to enjoy. Finished packing now so we can relax the rest of the day and evening. Only going to leave after the peak traffic has died down.
Discovered this morning that the switch to my camera had disintegrated and had to go get a new one and replace it. ð There is always something to do and maintain.
Geniet dit Brian....hou ons maar op hoogte van jou trip

Kampeer is aansteeklik en verslawend ðŸËÂ

Dankie Geert, ek sal so maak.
Enjoy and take care

Geert ja ons het gister so om 09:15 vertrek van Pta en net voor 12:30 hier anngekom. Ons gaan by privaat ablusie staan. Dit was n kort ry gister net oor die 200 km vandaag net kort van 400 km. Sal maar stadig vat, sien uit na my Pap en Mince vir ete vanaand. :)
Arrived at Gariep Dam. We took private ablutions site # 4. Had a bit of a mishap on the way.
The jockey wheel clamp came loos and the wheel slid down onto the road while we were travelling, needless to say it destroyed the wheel within seconds.
Ai...nie n lekker een nie. Kan jy net wiel vervang of moet jy hele jockey vervang? Ek sien jy het een van daai jockeys met die skaal in. Jou 1ste hulp gaan seker eers Tuinroete Karavane wees as jy in Mosselbaai aankom....of is daar ander hulp vooraf?

Ek sal seker die hele wiel vervang, en ja Tuinroute Karavane is my eerste help op pad. Ek het al klaar vir hulle ge email vir ‘n replacement. Wag vir hulle om terug te kom na my. Ek sien Loftus het van dieselfde jockey in vooraad.
For the next two stops Karoo National Park & Kleinplaas I have to park the van with the car – can‘t use the movers without the jockey.
Is jockey still winding up and down to level and hitch?

Yes it does however the handle also went MIA , so I‘m using a spanner to do that. But at least it‘s functional.
Did you visit the dam wall today? How full is dam?
WAARSKUWING:

Going to look at the dam wall tomorrow, as well as Waschbank River Lodge.
Saw photos of this place, looks impressive....don't know how the gravel road is to campsites

Hi Brian. I also saw info on this resort. 9 stands with great bathrooms and a pool on the banks of the river.
Info on the road leading to the resort will be of great value.

Yes their website has very good pictures of the facilities and campsites on the river. I will check the road out and report back.
