The day started with packing clothes and gear. Then sort out a few things around the house. Almost ready to go but need to setup my GoPro Hero 3.
All charged up and mounted to the helmet. The camera switched on, said good bye to my wife an went off to meet my dad at his house. After some holiday shopping and lunch we got onto the GS’ and pointed the wheels towards Koppies. After Poppies we climbed on the busy highway towards Kroonstad. We then took a right to Welkom and once we got to Welkom it was time to fill up and drink an ice cold coke. By this time I realised that the GoPro’s battery was spent.
I honestly thought it will last the 4+ hours that the camera’s LCD advised it would. Anyway, I’m still new to GoPro and will figure it out.
From Welkom we rode to Bultfontein. We went through a small rain storm that was both welcome because of the heat and painful as the drops hit my face in exposed areas because of the .MX helmet I’m using.
Then atlast after missing the turn off we took the 60 km dirt road. Now I was upset that the camera’s batterybattery was flat. The sun was busy setting and the dirt road ahead just looked awesome. After some great riding we made it to our destination.
Here’s some pics of the GoPro.
We did a total of 511 km of which 60 km where dirt road.
