Ive been a few times, mainly two basic routes from the west rand.

If the weather is clear and calm when leaving Lydenburg then you can go over the top, about 8000 feet, other wise go south to Kwena Dam and then route along crocodile river.

nico, I sent a PM to Rob McFie last month. No dates yet. Usually arrangements start early Aug. This will be a first for me. Heard a lot about it but never made it there. This year for sure.

Hope to hear something soon.

Agree with Weedy, go the Kwena dam route. I have been over the mountains sitting at 10500ft and not fun. Distance not much different anyway.
