    Do you think it is possible to go to this site on a Adventure Motorbike? Or rather is it something that would be allowed?

    • @TravelGigolo
      @TravelGigolo  3 года назад +2

      There are no signs indicating that it's not allowed. I personally know someone who has been to the site several times on an off-road bike, and was tempted to do it myself.
      There are some rutted portions of road and muddy patches, but nothing a capable biker can't handle.

    I've been there quite a few times, the last time around 2008. My wife and I were the only ones there then, and the solitude and complete darkness with glow worms next to the river at night was great.

    • @TravelGigolo

      We enjoyed the solitude too. Also amazing how many yellow fish there were, the water was very clear and we could see them hunting from the rocks. Would be great to do a longer walk down the river one day. It's a beautiful place.
      Thanks for sharing your experience 👍🏾

    Hi you have to go fishing at that picnic spot in march 23 then the bass and bream is biting
    And look out for the babons and try the swing

    • @TravelGigolo
      @TravelGigolo  2 года назад

      The swing was cool! Luckily we had no problems with baboons.

    Do you perhaps have co-ordinates for the site?

      24°35'36.8"S 30°49'28.1"E
      or
      -24.593542, 30.824460
      You'll find it on google maps as well but you have to insert the coordinates and zoom into the area, and then click on the picnic spot place mark. Unfortunately it does not come up in a search.

    Your map disappears way too quickly. It looks like it's near Mariepskop, but no way I can find it.
