Camping in "Hel" (Gamkaskloof) - The most dangerous road in South Africa?

[@andreyeboz]

Spectacular! Just beyond description. Great videoing. Thank you!

[@banditboy6444]

I visited "Die Hel" once when I was a child, while camping with family. Thanks for the POV, really enjoyed it.

[@seafieldsliving]

Very nicely done! Keep the adventures coming. Cheers

[@DieterPey]

Thanks! 😁

[@bigd_adventures_za]

Lekker video maat. Die Hel is beslis een van my favourite plekke wat ek nog ooit besoek het.

[@DieterPey]

Dit was lekker om daarso te revisit, het vergeet hoe beeldskoon dit is!

[@fwdadventuresza254]

Awesome scenery man!

[@DieterPey]

It's beautiful there!

[@seanfrench1029]

Nice video. Although a handful going down into (and back out) Die Hel on a motorbike, you only have to pick one line compared to two lines with a car. Regardless whether bike or car, you have more peace of mind with good tires for the whole section from the Swartberg Pass turnoff. A worthwhile destination to experience at least once.

[@DieterPey]

100% Agree with you

[@SteveWarlee]

Did u find it tougher on bike than sani pass rd, coz I thought sani a breeze

[@seanfrench1029]

@@SteveWarlee Depends. I did Sani & Die Hel two up on bike. Rainy conditions or washouts after rain can badly affect both routes. Currently, Die Hel is only accessible by dirt bike.

[@SteveWarlee]

@@seanfrench1029 Thanks mate. Got a xr650 Honda shud be okay. However, I did criss cross south American Andes goat paths on a rd bike for 7 months. I'm probably stupid enough to attempt a footpath out if there is one 💥🤣🤣😂

[@Matt_Ashwell]

Lekker man! Dig the vlogs, keep them coming!

[@DieterPey]

Thanks and you must enjoy UK!

Great video!! 👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks!

[@jacobaras2589]

Dankie vir die deel hiervan ek wardeer dit werklik baie veilig ry 🎉

[@DieterPey]

Groot plesier!

[@tigershoot]

Is the campsite SANparks? It must be rare for it to get used surely?? Is there a warden there? Amazing scenery.

[@DieterPey]

Nope, Cape Nature was partly involved, but as far I know, their part of the valley is abandoned. There are 3 private farms in the valley which offer accommodation and campsites.

[@ianmcmillan1411]

Looks like fun.. & yes, we do call it a 'windmill' in English, lol

[@HendriMouton]

Nice one dude. Sal def weer moet terug keer. It's been too long

[@DieterPey]

Highly recommended, jy sal dit baie geniet daarso en die 80 sal lekker gemaklik by daardie pass afloop!

[@HendriMouton]

@@DieterPey Yeah hy vat maar net twee bane op met Bainskloof pass😂

[@YvonneSmit-qh3pr]

Wow, 🙈 wat 'n smal pad maar die omgewing is baie mooi. Hoe lank is die grondpad?

[@salieshaunsmuts6209]

Cool video bud, just curious about the ablutions down in the bottom at the hel as you did not show any, are there any? 😚

[@DieterPey]

Ablutions are basic but good. Flush toilet and gas heater for the shower. 😁

[@SteveWarlee]

​@@DieterPeyhow much per night

[@paulkruger3070]

I've been to 'die hel' 5 times in a platkar before i went in a 4x4

[@SteveWarlee]

Flat car 😂😂

[@SteveWarlee]

Howzit, it would be good to know what the campsites cost these days for u as I also travel solo

[@madcat4563]

According to Google, a Windpomp is a Windmill...🤨 But if you google Windpump, you get a Windpomp.🤔 In high school, I had an Afrikaans teacher who would have loved to answer that question. I enjoyed the video.

[@DieterPey]

Afrikaans windpomp directly translates to windpump, which sounds weird, but is technically right as it is pumping water from underground. A windmill was/is used to crush wheat into a powder. We're probably just over thinking it! 😂

[@madcat4563]

@Dieter Pey Yes, it does sound like a direct translation. And yes, a Windmill is something different.

[@salomekruger4176]

Dankie vir die lekker trip. Watse settings het jy gebruik op die bakkie - L4 met diff, of hoe? En jou tyre pressure?

[@DieterPey]

Ek het L4 gery vir die gemak en meer beheer oor die bumpy ground. By die Hel pas het ek oorgeskop 4H toe sodat ek n beter turning circle het om daardie skerp draaie. Tire pressure was so 1bar rond. Ek het Yokohama Geolander G003's wat n harde sidewall het, so ek kan hulle baie papper gebruik as road tires.

[@salomekruger4176]

@@DieterPey Dankie!

[@hvr1874]

Het dieselfde roete verlede jaar gedoen 1.4bar ook op Geolanders maar het in AWD gebly aangesien so baie dele geconcrete is en om binding issues te vermy. Behalwe as dit reen het jy 4WD nodig nie. In fact moes hele stuk terug reverse om pad te maak vir 2 Citi golfs wat uit die hel opgekom het. In die vallei self is die pad egter slegter gewees en sou ek 4WD aanbeveel.

[@siyabongashezi4104]

Awesome video! Just curious, were you in two wheel drive or did you set the Hilux on 4H?

[@DieterPey]

Thanks! I was in 4H and sometimes when it was very rocky and steep I went to 4L to make the ride more comfortable for myself.

[@siyabongashezi4104]

@@DieterPey makes sense. Thanks, Dieter. Looking forward to your next content, always a learning curve for me!

[@DieterPey]

Thanks! I have some lekker content coming very soon! 😁

If a boere seun says it's cold, then you know, it's cold.

[@wernerswardt7512]

That i not a dangerous road but rather a scenic road

[@paulholtslag1564]

The road has degraded, and most people now need 3 to 4 hours quiet driving, but if you take it easy, it is not dangerous at any point. Just take it easy and enjoy the spectacular scenery. The locals do it in 2 hours, but why would you want to miss the views? Then, relax at the bottom, have a braai in this spectacular environment, walk the trails and sleep in an authentic boer house. Time to relax.

Perhaps not THE MOST dangerous, but definitely up there.

I hope is a one direction only!! The game over IS real!

[@uliatiafricacom]

"The most dangerous road in South Africa"? It's a simple gravel road doable with any car.
