After a couple days rest with Alex and Nick , a little bit of bass fishing, and a whole lot of rain, we decided to head towards Richmond via the 4 by 4 route. My thinking was that we were only 2 grand away from a right off… in other words if we were going to damage the car, we might as well do it something cronic , as all it would cost us would be anther 2 G’s.

So we went the back way through Hela Hela ,or something to that ton. The road was just wide enough for our little tax and cut into the side of a hill.It was a great drive , and a part of natal i never new existed. We eventually made it to Richmond and our lunch time destination, The Oaks Hotel. The Oaks has special memories for me, spend most of my Christmas holidays up there. After a great lunch, and walk and a short visit to Grant’s folks we drove back down to durbs to complete our round trip.
