We did the Pass in the early 80's, was quite a experience, just married, driving a Jetta GLS and with only front wheel drive and some steep inclinations the front wheel were spinning, struggle to get proper tracksion, passed a place called HELL right at the top of the SWARTBERG, down from there to Prince Albert.
As a small boy in the 1980''s, my family visited the Nels' (Flip and Marie Nel) on a farm called "Beeskraal," situated in the Swartberg Mountain range/Pass, close to Calitzdorp. I wonder whether the farm still exists ? If there is anybody that can confirm this, I would greatly appreciate it very much !
Good day Sir. You said this was going to be an overland channel...but you haven't uploaded a new video for over a year now? Also, please can you make an update video on your thoughts on the P-series...do you still believe it’s a good vehicle?
How long does it take to drive Swartberg? I’m doing a road trip in January. We want to leave early and do the pass en route to Baviaans? Just wondering if it’s realistic…
Stunning 😍

Amazing cinematography
Thank you @richardbilic
Very nicely done with good flying footage.

Pragtig dankie
