Road to Sentinel Car Park

Dead on! Glad you had a good trip. Last time we went up the gully was Jan this year & it was a little river coming down, but AWESOME indeed!

Have anyone seen the Chicken Licken ad about the urangutan on the guy's back? That's exactly how the berg is to me

Haha, that's a good way to put it! The problem is that the orangutan is starting to grow quicker and quicker!

Nice one! The problem is none of the guys I hike with seem to have the orangutan on their back... Although I guess I have been on the escarpment 3 times this year with plans to summit Mlambonja Peak at Garden Castle in June, so I can't really complain.

Hi all, I'm going to be spending Sat night at Witsieshoek and a little hike up to the chain ladders with my daughter (and maybe to the top...no presssure) on Sunday. Anyone going to be in the area?

My wife has to use our Caddy, which means I'm left with my car which has a lowish spoiler (Not really a Ferrari), haven't been up there for a while, if I drive slowly, is the road okay?

Lol, that heading must have got lots of attention...

I was there last weekend and would not recomend a low spoilered car. If you are prepared to crawl you may be OK. But give the hotel a call, I don't think they have their own transport, but I did see the new gaffer making a plan for some residents, his name is Deon.

Come on, give the missus your car for the weekend.

My wife has to take my other daughter to a school camp in the magalies, also dirt roads, and needs her car. I spoke to some guy at Witsieshoek and he assured me the road (to Witsieshoek) is ok and I should be ok driving up to the car-park if I take it easy. I don't have a choice...hey, thats what adventures are made of right? ...I mean if we have to turn around, there will forever be a story to tell...

Good news, I used google "street view" to show my wife that her trip is far less risky than mine ...and painted the picture of my 10 year old trying to guide me up a narrow pass

I'm now on my way tomorrow in the Caddy and can leave the Ferrari for my precious lady!

Weather looking good. Will report back next week.
