I wouldn’t regard Melkbos & Dirt n Dust as trails. Neither Atlantis.

Add the Walker Bay Trail - it's basically beach and dune driving, fantastic outing - you can get in from the Stanford or De Kelders end (but you can't get all the way from one end to the other)

At the De Kelders (Gansbaai) end it gets harder as you go further in.

Swartbrg Trail is also nice. haven't been for ages, it's a bit skiddy in the wet....

I believe the Hex is by appointment only. As vehicles have gotten softer it limits them with trails like the Hex, Wuppertal, Wagon Wheel, etc.

The Vaalies will kak themselves. They think Baboons is difficult

Hex is still on the bucket list.

It's just that I've used up all my camping tolerance for thee next 5000 years.

I nearly went once. Bruce organized it but it was cancelled the night before.

The AWDC still arrange HEX outings every year or two. It is the one trip that I am glad I was able to do and would love to go again.

I am happy to be wrong and proven to be wrong, but it must be at least 5 years
