Not far out of Fraserburg, we stopped to get a picture of a pretty aged looking speed limit sign and then noticed just how close we may have come to a wipe out. Just a few meters on in the road was a massive hole, dug by an
Ant bear, that even on an adventure bike if one had have hit this at 80kmph+ it could have spelled disaster! The hole was about just short of 0.8 metres in diameter and very deep. Anyway we thanked our lucky stars and carried on down the long and easy dirt road looking out more carefully for more holes.

| Either this is a very old sign or it gets hot out here - me thinks its the latter |

| Rich rides up to see whats up and why I've stopped |

| We'd stopped to get a picture of the cracked sign and noticed this massive Ant bear hole in the road! |

| Speaking about the hole - even on an adventure bike hitting that hole could have been a nightmare |

| On the open road like this you are going too fast to slow down |

| Beautiful opennes |
