• Should the trail be accessed or used illegally, the visitor will immediately be expelled from the property.
• No vehicles other than mountain bikes will be allowed.
• Vehicles of MTO Forestry (Pty) Ltd & emergency vehicles are also making use of the Jeep tracks. Be on the lookout for them at all times.
• On exceptional high fire index days, cyclist might be requested by the MTO Forestry employees to evacuate the trails.
• The permit holder indemnifies MTO Forestry (Pty) Ltd and SAFCOL against any claims and/or legal proceedings instituted by himself/herself or a hired third party, which may arise from his/her entry into the plantations or utilising the trails.
• Use of the trails is a privilege and an experience to be shared with many other forest users, hiker’s runners, horse riders etc. Please be considerate to them and honour their right to a peaceful and tranquil environment.
• No helmet, no ride!
• Ride Open Trails: Respect trail and road closures. Ask access control guards for clarification if you are uncertain about the status of a trail. Do not trespass on private land or on forestry operations land.
• Leave No Trace: Be sensitive to the dirt beneath you. Wet and muddy trails are more vulnerable to damage than dry ones. When the trail is soft, consider other riding options. This also means staying on existing trails and not creating new ones. Don’t cut switchbacks.
