Witte River Paddlers
Anyone paddling at the Witte putting in at Bainskloof ( Eerste Tol ) Please we have been asked NOT to climb over or throught the barbed wire fence. Hussan, the owner of the Bainskloof Corner Lodge has put that there to stop people going through his property and down to the river during the summer months where they swim in and pollute the water where he pumps up to the lodge.
He is very kayaker friendly and doesnt mind us at all. If he is there he usually comes out and shows you the way, if he is not there then there is a black gate on the right hand side of the lodge, we are allowed to use that as an entry point, there is usually a padlock on the gate but if you look closely it is normally open. Please use this entrance and if time allows, support him by having a drink in the bar afterwards.
For those interested he has accomadation there starting from a bout R150 per person, a fully stocked bar and good meals in the kitchen… as some of us found out this past Friday night.
