Incredible scenery

Sober? I don't think so

Nice one

Even BMW owners were allowed

Good times

The usual bunch

Ares and Rob

Braaing is a serious business




Had to have one of the German bike being loaded. The shame.....

Whoops - the Japanese one was next to succumb

Rubbing it in!


Having TEA!  Not a sight you see often. Reputations ruined

Going off to buy provisions. Actually riding bikes to town that were broken

Cottages at Swellendam. Comfortable

Cathros seeking shelter from the rain

Benn struggling to look sober

Jerry and Gavin

Will it stop raining? (it didn't)

Neil and Ray

Raining- had lots of people in our cottage

Gavin cooking for about 14 due to rain

Still raining but who cares?

Dave, Gordon and Gavin discussing the meaning of life


John tucking in on Ed's bed

The Enfield added to the non-runners

Under cover outside braaing in the rain

The famous party trick (never really works)

Rob not looking behind!

Ray - always cheerful

Next to succumb was a Triumph Triple (now pulling 4 bikes)

Then the BSA was next to not go. Happily got the triple going. Cab a bit crowded
A most enjoyable BMA
