From Boston through beautiful forestry country and the charming hamlet of Byrne to Richmond (lunching at either of these) and then off the mapped routes and through the sugar cane and timber plantations to Eston. Within 5kms you will pass through Nottingham Road village, then taking routes less travelled to the fascinating Crystal Barn at Fort Nottingham for the first overnight stay.Īfter breakfast, it's up the Dargle Valley, past Everglades on beautiful high country back roads to Boston, stopping for a leg stretch and some photos in an old ruin. Following the Nelson Mandela capture site is a brief stop at a craft brewery in a delightfully picturesque setting. The next stop, only 2kms further along is the iconic and very well-presented Nelson Mandela capture site where the Nobel Prize-winning, first black South African president was captured during the apartheid era, for his part in the struggle for freedom and independence of the black people of South Africa. A short run on the motorway passes through Pietermaritzburg with a first stop at an old-world “African trading store” which is a treat, a taste of yesteryear, and a picker’s treasure trove.
Staying off the motorway wherever possible, ride the Old Main Road, with a first stop at the interesting and infamous Comrades Marathon Wall of Honour, a mostly unobserved but amazingly interesting feature. There’s surely a reason why it has become a favoured and famous tourist trail. There is an undeniable attraction and charm to the KwaZulu Natal Midlands Meander – the beautiful countryside, unlimited eateries, craft shops for the ladies, and craft breweries for the guys. This is a pillion-friendly ride perfect for couples who enjoy riding together.
