Me receiving my new Grand i10 Fluid 1L
Slippery bit out of The Hell where bike slid to the left into the bank
Where I scraped into the side to prevent falling over
Can see how soft and slippery the road is here... I would watch where the car tracks were slipping to indicate slippery bits
Me with webcam on during ride out of The Hell

Chantel could not find her wallet with R600 after we left The Hell... but she picked up this 1985 10c coin in the veld
Road out of Prince Albert
This seemed a bit of a rip off in Prince Albert... well over a half hour and R36 each (and the shop was not busy)
I Love the Karoo!
No Fracking Signs at Prince Albert
No Fracking signs in Prince Albert on the trees

Top of Swartberg Pass
Stopped by the Platberg Circle Route sign
Final stretch of road out of The Hell... may look more levl but my biggest worry was the slippery clay and much of it was ridden in 1st gear and took nearly 4 hours to get out
Found the Swartberg Pass geocache
Better view of the slippery clay
Can see the wet slippery clay on the tyres... this is on a better stretch out of The Hell
Flooded river with Chantel wading across to check depth and size of rocks... came up to over her knees at some point with medium size boulders which need to be avoided
Road out of The Hell.... drizzling and I'm worried that the wet rocks in the road surface will be slippery (also started the video here which will be uploaded later)
Lovely old stove
Kitchen in house at The Hell
