The farm access road is rough going.
Launch & landing
Launch from cleared patches in the fynbos, about 333m above the ground (480m ASL). Land in the surrounding uncultivated fields.
Access
Via the N7 past Moorreesburg, then farm roads through Goedgelee farm toward the cellphone mast — farm permission is required, and a high-clearance vehicle is needed for the track.
