Die Biedouwvallei is reeds goed bekend by blomkykers. Daar is egter veel meer as net plate lenteblome in goeie reënjare. Ons wil juis gaan om daardie onbekende te gaan soek. Die blomme sal 'n bonus wees. Vra maar vir dié wat verlede jaar saam was.
Die roete wat ons ry bestaan uit 'n hele netwerk van plaaspaadjies. Die meeste daarvan is in g'n jare gery nie. Op een plek klim ons 'n berg uit, om van daar bo af oor die Cederberg en die Karoo uit te kyk.
Van
bo af moet ons weer onder kom. Onder by die Biedouwrivier aangekom, wag daar nog 'n paar
verrassings. Dit is waar daar nog 'n hele paar sandkolle is waar van ons sekerlik sal
vassit. Bring dus 'n ordentlike pomp saam, want ons gaan wiele moet afblaas. Kyk sommer na
daardie domkrag ook. Sorg dat hy in 'n werkende toestand is. Soos gesê, is dit ou
plaaspaadjies waarop ons gaan ry. Barry Lubbe, die eienaar, vertel dat sy pa vroeër jare
met 'n Volkswagen kombi daarlangs gery het om sy boerdery in die afgeleë deel van hulle
plaas te gaan bekyk. Ons hedendaagse 4X2's kan sekerlik nie slegter doen nie.

The Biedouw
Valley is well known for its spring flower displays. What is more of a secret is that the
valley has many more gems to be discovered. The Biedouw 4x2 /4x4 route itself follows a
system of old farm tracks. The first section follows a steep well maintained road to the
top of a mountain. Coming down on a two tract trail is another cup of tea.
Down in the
Heuningvlei River valley a few more surprises are waiting. Here, the trail winds its way
past beautiful rock formations and through sandy patches where some of us will definitely
get stuck. Make sure that your car's air pump and jack are in good working order. For
those who are worried about their vehicle's ability to manage this route: the owner told
me that his father used to do his farming rounds along this tract in his specially
converted VW combi. Our modern day vehicles can surely do better.
