Recce Mission 2020 - Leg 2 Map

Getting to Fort Berg TB should not pose too much of a challenge; getting to the summit of De Berg at 2332 m ASL on the old ox wagon trail will put a halt to most Mission riders' assault on De Berg. The riding will not become easier and riders will appreciate the daylight while taking on the challenging Mission sections. For some, or most riders, the final ascent to the highlands will be brutal. Once they reached the cement Jeep track Fort Mission will only be 5 kays away - as the crow flies...
