I'm looking at spending a month or two around South Africa in December 2012 and then returning back to the UK . Does anyone know of anybody or a group that might be going that way that has space in a shared container and will be returning? Thanks.

Sorry can't help you there, as am resident in South Africa.

What routes are you planning around here, there are some really interesting places around.

I reside on what is called the wild coast, and some really scenic places and you will return with tales to tell.

You could make a good trip down from Durban.

Start down from wildcoast sun, to Mkambati, Mboyti, down to Port Saint Johns, very scenic with plenty waterfalls, two of which flow directly into the sea (One at Mkambati, and Waterfall Bluff)
After port Saint Johns, head down to Coffee Bay, Hole in the Wall, The haven, Seagulls, Treneries, Wavecrest and to Kei Mouth, cross the river by pont.. Will be dirt (some interesting) from Port Saint Johns to Kei Mouth, advise at least two bikes on this stretch as it is remote.

After Kei Mouth,, head up towards Hogsback, then head out to baviaanskloof and Die Hell (this route and order I am still looking into, will be doing part of this route next month). This stretch has a lot of civilisation, and support is relatively easy.

After that, George, Knysna garden route, can also shoot down in the Western Cape to the coastal areas, and maybe also head down do Malgas, and cross the river there by pont. This way you would have used all ponts that are functional in South Africa, all two of them.

The above route will cover the most scenic areas in South Africa (my opinion, so must be true).

Will gladly assist you wherever possible.

Also join the forum http://www.wilddog.za.net] [url]http://www.wilddog.za.net [/url] as a lot of information there about adventure riding in RSA.

Thanks - appreciate the ideas and will take that all in. The routes are pretty much sorted - I am ex SA. The issue is getting my bike there and back from the UK ! I have heard that there is a group of bikers who regularly use a container to go over to PE around December times and do rallies at CPT and Kyalami etc. but I've no idea who they are here in the UK. Cheers
