Last week Friday we finished our 2200km trip! As far as we can legally go.

It's taken a couple of days to sink in completely, but it feels crazy to think we started cycling in Cape Town and reached the Botswana border. On day 1 we left Cape Town in a typical Cape Storm. On day 5 we climbed Verlatenkloof Pass and in to the heart of the Karoo. On day 13 we crossed South Africa’s biggest river, the Orange River. On day 17 we crossed the Vaal River to leave the Free State. And on day 25 we reached the Limpopo River and the end of South Africa.

A massive shout out to my wife for the constant support and encouragement, .thomas84 for arranging all the logistics on the trip and my teammate who hadn't ridden a bicycle in 10 years, for powering through and making it a truly amazing experience.

Please follow the link in our bio and share or support the and their amazing efforts. best teammate

It is amazing to see how excited and eager people are to explore more of our beautiful mountain. As amazing as it is, I would love to see people respecting the mountain, learning the correct mountain ethics, and keeping themselves and others safe.

An unbelievable traverse linking Grotto-Fountain-Cairn Traverse with Right Face-Arrow Face Traverse. If you have a head for heights and you’re happy to be on your feet for 6 to 7 hours, it’s a must. 🇿🇦

Let us be honest, the buzz and excitement for the Level 4 Lockdown exercise has slowly passed, and we are in need for something a little more. Do not get me wrong, I am not complaining about the fresh air and the unbelievable sunrises we have been blessed with so far this May. But sharing it with hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of people, does not feel the same as sharing it on a mountain with a loved one or friend. [ 1,608 more word ]

So, the more important question is, what adventure will I do? And even more importantly, where will I be isolated? To protect my health and sanity.

The Drakensberg escarpment reaches a height ranging between 2000 to 3000m. The highest peak in Lesotho is Thabana Ntlenyana reaching a height of 3482m. Whereas the highest peak in South Africa is Mafadi Peak reaching a height of 3450m. Making it the highest mountain range in South African. If that’s not enough of a reason to go explore here post lockdown, what is? 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 @ Drakensberg
