Laingsburg to CT via Ceres
Hi Guys
thought you might also enjoy an alternate route from Laingsburg to CT via Ceres which I did a couple of weeks ago - actually an alternate route from Hoedspruit to Cape Town ended being about 2100 km. Not a trip report, but a few photos attached. All dirt road from Laingsburg to just before Ceres, 5 farms gates, getting a bit lost on a chaps farm, a few stream crossings and great fun - average speed about 60 km/hr

Re: Laingsburg to CT via Ceres
Great to see someone else taking the less traveled route on holiday.
I also try to stay off the highways on our holiday trips.
Will have to try this route when we are down in that area again, thanks for sharing!
