Botterkloof Pass

I was in Namaqualand and took the opportunity to drive the Botterkloof pass which is a really steep spectacular pass.
On the way there, I was being pressurised by a guy in a big SUV so I let him get ahead and he raced away. I dawdled so I would not be in his dust, but when he got to the pass, he lost his nerve and crept down the pass much to my disgust. I drive Subarus for their amazing road holding and one of the pleasures is sweeping down dirt road passes at a good speed.
Apologies for cursing so much about his chicken hearted driving.
