[ OVERVIEW ]
On your bike
At the time of writing, discussions were underway regarding the declaration of the reserve and its environs (including Henley-on-Klip, where Bass Lake is) as a Biosphere Reserve. The mountain-biking track has been set out in a private estate of some 76 ha featuring natural vegetation and frontage onto the Klip river. With both the casual and experienced rider in mind this jeep track circuit is only 4.6 km long but can be extended by backtracking over certain areas and there is a wide range of obstacles to test your technical skills, if desired. It is impossible to get lost – the track is demarcated with information pointer boards.
Off your bike
Stay and enjoy all the other facilities for the day, like swimming and kayaking in the old quarry, centerpiece of the venue. Mountain-biking can be incorporated into Team/Corporate Days or 2-in-1 Adventure Days or into a Tented Camp Stay.
