Zevenwacht - we should have ignored that sign

posted by Paul
Zevenwacht wine farmWe dragged a friend of ours along on a geocaching expedition to Zevenwacht wine farm, heading for a lookout point at, what I believe is, the highest hill on the farm.

Seeing a "no entry, trespassers will be prosecuted" sign on one of the gravel roads that we believed may have led to our destination we turned around to seek an alternative route. Kerry's Mini soon became a 4x4 Mini as we headed up a rather dubious-looking gravel and sand road. We eventually stopped the car, realising that it would take us no further, and set off on foot.

Huffing and puffing, we reached the top of the hill in what must have been 5 hours (actually only 15 minutes, but it seemed so much longer). The bus (presumably a tour bus) in this photo is seen leaving the hill down the gravel road with the "no entry, trespassers will be prosecuted" sign. Perhaps we should have ignored that sign. ;)

Perhaps, but now you are fitter and wiser and we are able to see the results. Lovely photo :-)

I for one am pleased you didn't ignore the sign, else we may not have had this beautiful pic to enjoy.
Amazing how almost any car can be transformed into a 4x4 when the need arises :-)
Hope you found your cache after all that effort.
