Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Bergville

    Bergville is a small farming town at the foot of the northern Drakensberg, in the Okhahlamba district of KwaZulu-Natal, and its main role is to be a handy place to stop before heading for the big wall of mountains. The town lies on the Tugela river near the Woodstock dam, and on a clear day the escarpment rises on the western horizon in a long line of buttresses and cliffs, including the Amphitheatre, a rock face about five kilometres long. Behind it, the Tugela Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls on Earth by some measures, drops in several stages from the plateau of Lesotho.

    May refer to an earlier itinerary; verify against your selected route before riding.

    Planning note

    Bergville sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Nottingham Road.

  2. 2. Nottingham Road

    Nottingham Road is a village in the middle of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands that is better known for its pubs and potteries than for its size. It is a stop on the Midlands Meander, a loose trail of craft studios, cheese makers, breweries and restaurants spread over rolling green country, and the place has a relaxed, slightly bohemian atmosphere. Misty mornings are common, with dairy herds in the fields and the Drakensberg a faint blue line on the western horizon.
