Day ride

Post by dual »

We have a last hand drawn pontoon in South Africa close by at Malgas over the Breede river

The old pont is being replaced by a mechanical monster and killing the old school pontoon of yesteryear

I was there a couple of months ago and had the time and wanted to go and check if the old one is still operational

Just outside town, we call it the pig's snout, dry now, so it's not running

Met up with a friend and onto the dirt, that's why we have dual purpose bikes

Image

Image

Image

Windpomp as we call it

Image

Image

The old pontoon still in operation, but the the new one will take over shortly

After lunch at the hotel, it was heading back home

But, always time for a detour and a different route home

Nice horses along the road

An old single lane bridge and some farm equipment

Almost home and one last pic

316 km of fun

What a shame I really enjoyed my trip on the old hand drawn ferry, the guys operating it were really cheerful.
