Marakele Long Weekend Campout 6-9 August 2021

[AndreasR]

Looks like daytime temps will be nice and warm but the evenings will still be chilly.

Be prepared!

[HenriSteyn]

Lots of woolies and lots of fires!

[Paul#25]

Antifreeze could be used to lessen the need for woolley underwear.

[HenriSteyn]

I will pass by Midas during the week for some.

Oh and Checkers too for some sweetner.

[Samaya]

Remember to go up Ysterberg to the Telkom and SABC towers. The view from there is phenominal.

[BushWacker]

Fill your fuel tank by Wednesday, for Marakele, (to avoid price rise) ...esp Toyotas , Jeeps , Patrols etc.
and other polluting guzzlers...

[Paul#25]

For us East Rand folks will it be better to route up the N1 to Warmbaths then off to Marakele instead of going anywhere near the Harties area.
Towing anywhere around Harties is not fun anytime of the day so I'd like to miss that area if possible.
My question is about the state of the road between Warmbaths and Marakele if anyone has traveled that route recently.

[Crips]

Howzit Oom Paul,
As far as I know and have heard via the grape-fine, that road from Warmbaths and Marakele is in good condition
Hope it's true

[Martin de Jager]

Paul, hi, in May we went via Brits to Thabazimbi, road was in a good condition.

Paul, hi, in May we went via Brits to Thabazimbi, road was in a good condition. We will be using the same road as ND stop in Brits for some special aged Rump steak. Leaving on Thursday morning.

I agree. Quiet a drive up to the top too...

Harties?
I'm assuming that, since you are not into drugs & are of sober habits, the only reason for the question is your gut obscured part of the map?
Unless you've decided to get lost again, but want to plan it this time?

[Mad Manny]

I guess, to catch the Rugby, we'll need to head into Thabazimbi?

[Martin de Jager]

No their is a drink hole across from the main gate, should entertain the area.

[Mad Manny]

Thaba Nkwe?

[Martin de Jager]

Yes, I believe so.
