So we went down to Volksrust, a few hours drive from Johannesburg for a weekend of horse trails, braais and general rowdyness. Being a city slicker I’m typing this while I’m aching all over, and I don’t enjoy the thought of getting up in a few hours for the office. However it was an awesome time with the girlfriend and friends.

No major surprises along the 20km trip, so it scored fairly low on the adventure index. However, Eben fell with his horse when it stumbled through a muddy patch, and my horse, named Surprise, had a habit of not responding to ‘halt’, ‘stop’, ‘hokaai’ and a string of expletives not worth mentioning.

If you’re interested in riding horse trails of between 10 and 30km over a weekend for up to 15 people, get in touch — I’ll forward you Oom John’s number in Volkrust. N00bs will be fine with 10km or so rides, and there’s ample time and space to punish your kidneys if you want to longer or faster…
