I've finally got a photo of what Jonkershoek looks like after this months fires. I have to warn you though, that if you're a sensitive viewer you may want to avert your eyes from the right of the screen! The photo really is quite appropriate for todays date-
Meurant says that about 300ha got burnt and as you can see theres not much cover left. That said, I have to say that the singletrack in the photo looks awesome! So Jonkershoek is probably off the cards for a while :( The loggers will get in there and take care of the dangers and before long we'll be riding through young green saplings and a bit more indigenous fynbos. We've been through this before and while it really saddens the heart we can only look to the limitless possibilities of the future!
