We decided to go and have a look at a 4x4 trail we always drive past in and out of the Baviaanskloof. It's called Twee Water 4x4. I haven't been able to find any information on it, which made it appeal to me even more.

When we arrived at 12:30 to meet the trail owner, he was still about 20 minutes away, so we decided to let down tires in the meanwhile. As we didn't know what the terrain or trail is like we decided to play it safe by having the maximum traction if we do need it.

He arrived at around 13:00 and after explaining to us briefly what the trail would entail we headed off into the kloof. At the first entrance he took us, the road had been blocked by about 3-4 trees that have fell into the road.

He would clear it up later so we decided to enter the trail in a different entrance and do it a bit differently. The first part of the trail is a rocky uphill, and once we were on top I could see this can going to be an interesting trail.

Looking around you down into the valley and on the sides of the mountains in the distance you could clearly see how the trail dips down into the valley and rises out again a number of times. The terrain was quite sandy with a lot of loose rocks all over the places. On most of the uphills it took careful wheel placing to find the grip to get up.

We had the most amazing views over the area. One the one side we could see the Gonjah 4x4 Trail going and on the other side part of the Osseberg 4x4 Trail.

At one hill Barto tried to go up in the Triton, but because of the deep ruts he couldn't get up. I think the trail owner was a bit worried when Barto attempted it. The next time we get to the trail though, we've been told the ruts will be filled up with rocks to allow us to get through. I am sure though that Barto would've been able to make it if he didn't have to consider the people sitting on the back of the bakkie.

The owner went to go show us the camp site as well, which looks very neat and tidy. They even have a donkey for hot water and flushing toilets.

The trail took us about 2 hours to drive, and we estimated that with a group of 8-10 vehicles it will take around 4 hours to complete. I can really recommend going on this trail. There are a few sections that are a bit overgrown, but we were assured this would be sorted out by the time we bring a group of vehicles with EC Offroad Adventures in September.
