#koringdraai

[jacquesmarais]

Four mind-blowing days discovering the magic of the #Hessequa Region, an area these days gaining recognition from adventurous travellers as the #ExplorersGardenRoute. Conservancies, nature reserves, thumping surf breaks, endless gravel roads, meandering rivers, quirky towns, larger-than-life characters ... Me and mate-from-way-back Mark Stuart ventured via @jakkalsvleiwines and #Heidelberg to the incredible #trails of Grootvadersbosch Conservancy, before tripping over the #Malgas pontoon to the coastal serenity of #Witsand. This watersport paradise is made for #SUP, #surf and all kinds of angling, with outstanding hospitality at #pilipili Restaurant 🙌🏻 @zaneschmahl pulled in just in time to experience the #jaegermeister excesses of #albertiniaddiction Hotel and the #KoringDraai Kroeg. Soos die locals sê: "Suip the Cape in Shape"... Ons het hittetitte heelhuids daar ontsnap ... Fortunately, a good T-bone steak, and some solid #outdoor action in the breathtaking @gourikwa Nature Reserve and #Gouritsmond restored our blood-alcohol levels to normal! This is a perfect playground to test out the @sawyersurfboards sticks, @giantlivrsa #mtb, @redpaddlesa #SUP, @fluidkayaks #DoItNow and the @frontrunnerza roof racks. And always great hooking up with legendary locals like @aileenoutside, @fleurvaneeden, @jantjiejonker, @hiryunel and the likes. Attached are a few #Gourikwa visuals that are sure to blow your mind 💙 #RedPaddle #RedPaddleSA #isup #exploreyourworld #standup #SUP #frontrunnerza #BornToRoam #toyota #fortuner #sealandgear #discovernewpaths #sony #sonyxperiaza #hellosonyza #sonyza #travel #africa #Hessequa #explorersgardenroute (at Gourikwa Nature Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwJfnuDJPlS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7n2z0o1oi8o3
