Directions!

Get to the Gydo pass (from the south, I hope!)
as you arrive at the summit, you will see a tar road rising to the west, that is the road into this mystical valley.
Before you get to any buildings, take the turnoff to this road, it is unmarked, but if you overshoot it, turn around and from the north it is marked as WITZENBERG VALLEY. Reset your odometer.

Distances taken off google earth, I will trial them and update on the website if there are any glaring errors. If you see any OLD MUTUAL bunting/candytape, follow it!

5.5km - go straight past t-junction(avoid right turn)
1km – go right at t-juction(tar road)
3.9km – turn right at t-junction(tar road)...**remember this spot**
(for those arriving friday night, continue to the campsite, you can drop off canoes on sat morning)
1.7km -turn right onto gravel road
0.5km take right hand fork
1km – drive along dam wall
~200m grove of trees alongside dam is on your left, this is the canoe dropoff.
Coordinates - 33°12'28.33"S - 19°15'3.63"E

Return to ****spot****
2km Follow the tar road west initially before it turns northwards and after some built up sheds, turns to dirt.
2.2km follow dirt road, passing the now famous rugby field to your right until you reach a fork labelled private/howbill
1.9km take the left fork and continue till you get to some sheds
0.7km continue straight, passing a small reservoir to your left and workers cottages to your right. The road gets a little rutted here, so proceed slowly until you reach the campsite/race HQ
co-ordinates 33°10'17.19"S - 19°13'33.27"E (ok, now you can turn your GPS off!)
