If you are routing down to the coast, why not go via Vryheid, I am sure that you will find someone there willing to help with fuel, this is the route I take between Empangeni and Joburg

Because everything is related too time 
And now looks like the weather is not playing along either, so we have option A and option B and will decide the day before depending on the forecast.
A - Barberton - Cozy - ST Lucia - Dunedee - But looks like these areas will be covered in cloud and rain
B - Bethlehem - Gariep Dam - Prieaska (all along the orange) - Then onto Upington - Kuruman - Bloemhof - Central looks less likley of rain but moerse HOT.
Ahhh the beauty of adventure.

Looks like we will be doing option b due to unpredictible weather in option a. If you want to join for a section you more than welcome. It will be nice to squash the savannah between two 701's
Im going to be making a new post on the forum of the route etc and looking for night over spots.
