We had great sightings of many waterbirds, like this African darter drying it’s wings in the wind.
The roads on this route are excellent gravel with very little in the way of climbs.
The Malachite Hide has this wonderful boardwalk entrance through the Phragmites – the boardwalk rather reminiscent of some of the North Shore riding routes in Canada.
