      From Sani border post follow A1 till you get to a T-Junction. Turn Left (47km). Ride till you get to a circle (28 km). Turn Left at the circle. Tar road turns into dirt road, keep left. Ride till you get to tar road (75km), then Left (23 km). Reach Katse dam. Give yourself 6 hours, and do it only when *good weather* (We got stuck in slippery clay for 4 hours on one hill) I have GPS track if that would help. And lots more info if you need.

    Next time you go up there you should visit the block house, just as you passed the peak of the pass there is a small road turning off to the left leading up to a lookout on the mountain and the remains of the block house. I also didn't know about it the first time I went up there, only went up to the block house after a friend told me about it...
