[ Resort Review ] Ferndale Outdoor Adventures, Ec
It had been a long day in the saddle. We’d come a circuitous 400 km route from Cambria on the eastern edge of the Baviaanskloof via the Elandspad outside Patensie to Uitenhage, and then through Grahamstown onto Cathcart. Needless to say we were tired and a little grumpy when we got to our destination at dusk.
But when you are welcomed by a friendly farm manager like Stuart Pringle, who shows you around your sumptuously green and well organised campsite, your mood improves quickly.
After being taken on the tour of the modern ablution blocks and centralised communal lapa with its electricity points, fridges, kettle and toaster, we bade Stuart farewell and set up camp in record time. Of course, having the top of-the-range Alu-Cab hard shell rooftop tent and 180° fold-out awning means setup is dead easy, and we were soon eating an alfresco tin curry dinner and enjoying a reasonable bottle of red.
