An MDSA initiative that brings couples and friends together through scenic road trips, shared experiences and a love of exploring South Africa. "Friends of the Route" is a relaxed social touring weekend, not a race — participants travel in their own vehicles on a planned itinerary from the West Rand and East Rand through Mpumalanga to White River. Package includes a grab-and-go breakfast from Bem Bom The Glen, two nights at Premier Hotel The Winkler (twin or double, with breakfast), dinner on 13 February, entrance to the Diggings Site Museum and Casterbridge Motor Museum, a welcome package, Amigos da Rota shirts, a participation certificate, and car numbers and decals. Fuel, tolls, drinks and extras are for your own account. Booking is per car (driver and partner or passenger, one room for two). Start time to be confirmed with booking information.
