This week is a departure from our normal hash run/walk. It will be a picnic in Mogonye Gorge. Please note that there are entrance fees payable to enter the gorge but it is well worth it. The fees for adults are P25 (citizens), P30 (residents) and P50 (non-citizens). Children 10-14years pay half-price and those under 10 are not charged.
There are two options for meeting for this walk:
The first meeting point will be outside Kgale Spar and will depart at 09h45 sharp. Those who wish to share transport at this point can do so.
The alternative is to drive to the second meeting point where we will meet at 10h30 which will give those who met at Kgale Spar time to get there.
To get to the second meeting point, proceed as follows:
- Take the
- Turn right (Boatle) on main tarred road for approximately 15km to a signed tarred road to
- Turn left at this sign.
- Proceed for about 5km on this good tarred road. Do NOT turn at the next 'Mogonye Gorges' sign but proceed straight for about 1km to the Kgotla parking area which is the second meeting point.
We can then board the more rugged of our vehicles for the 5 km drive on rough road to the gorge parking area. Thereafter, we will proceed on foot for a further 1 - 1.5 km along reasonable foot paths to a suitable picnic area. There are no braai facilities, so take a picnic meal, if so desired. Please ensure that you bring sufficient beverages with you - either bring your own or stock up on hash brew in the parking lot.
The more adventurous can then proceed further up the gorge, swim in the pools, go mad, etc, later.
And most importantly: What goes in must come out! The only thing we are leaving behind are our footprints.
