February 2021 issue now on sale! Posted on 19 January 2021 Adventure trails for treads and takkies, desert conservation, forest fantasies and more. We ride some of SA’s top MTB trails and tag along with Lauren and 13 other riders while they cycle the Fish River Trail in the Karoo. We ride into northern Namibia where Anton pays tribute to a remarkable couple (who helped preserve this region) highlighting some of his most memorable moments on the trip. Remember the book Fiela se kind? Let’s hop into Jess’ Hyundai i20 and go on a road trip to retrace the 19th century footsteps of Fiela’s child, and while we’re near the coast, Jacques insists we swap hiking boots for hardcore takkies to tackle the Otter Trail – at pace. Tour De Karoo 14 riders explore the contours of the Karoo on bicycles and put their legs to the test. If you thought the Karoo was a large flat landscape, you’ll know you’re wrong after this read. Eden by another name The long walks and off-the-beaten-track drives in Koakoland with Margie and Garth led to this tribute to the couple. Anton expounds on the legacy of these renowned Namibian conservationists. Following Fiela se kind We follow Fiela’s child’s footsteps from the Langkloof into the forest where yellowwood trees tower over our heads and history abounds.
