Besemskloof Trail Run
Our trail grading: ORANGE 7B
Distance: 7.5km
Extremeness: Off-road, bushes and dryness
Location: Keiskie Farm, Calvinia, South Africa
Joggers: Only me
Yesterday late afternoon I went to explore a gorge called Besemskloof (literal translated: broom's gorge). I ran from the farm house and up the gorge - finding my own way up fairly dodgy rocks. At the top I linking to the road and came back via the dam. Another adventure done and dusted.
