19 & 20 April - Dirtopia All Mountain Enduro
Tarentaalkraal campsite, near Greyton, Overberg. The concept is a lot of fun – riders get
timed only on certain sections, which make a very social event,
especially at the refreshment station where they re-group. The
atmosphere is relaxed with no rush anywhere, except when you gun it
between check points! ...more information

ABOUT GREYTON
Far from the madding crowd, some 1.5 hours
from Cape Town in
the sleepy Overberg, you'll find Greyton, a peaceful and picturesque
village at
the foot of the majestic Sonderend mountain range. Mighty oak trees,
original
thatched cottages, leafy lanes and breath-taking mountain views form
the
backdrop to this country gem that will enchant and delight you.
Greyton is best explored on foot or bicycle
– preferably
with a basket up front! The scenery is fabulous, the coffee shops
tempting and
the villagers friendly. No matter how appealing it is to limit oneself
to a bit
of gentle meandering, it would be a shame not to take the time to
explore some
of Greyton’s outdoor activities whilst here.
A hiker and mountain-biker’s paradise, there
are well-marked
trails for every level of fitness and expertise. Greyton is the
starting point
for the famous one- or two-day Boesmanskloof trail – more commonly
known as the
Greyton-McGregor trail – and other activities include tennis,
horse-riding,
yoga and bowls. Golfers can enjoy a round at Caledon or Kleinmond.
