Ferndale is a Drive Out Top Ten regular. An active cattle, merino sheep and angora goat farm in the Henderson valley just outside of Cathcart in the Eastern Cape - it is a 4x4 paradise. Butch's passion for the area rubs off on every aspect of the trail and ensures that Ferndale will always be a top destination. Ferndale has 4 trails, offering varying degrees of difficulty. Each cleverly laid out to facilitate the best views possible. The Scenic Circle Route, is a leisurely 18.7km scenic drive across some of the highest peaks in the Windvogelberg range. Redcone Route, a moderate 19km drive, which loops between mountain ranges and traverses a stream 13 times. The Wild Route, is a steep, tight 14.5km drive designed specifically for adrenalin junkies who want to test their vehicles. Diff-lock is recommended. And Diff-lock Alley, the newest addition, is an 11.5km drive which connects on to the new 'Underberg' road. Diff-lock is essential. Butch has recently added a play pit to is arsenal of options - this one is designed specifically for experienced drivers wanting to test their skills. There is a fully furnished, thatched river-side chalet (which sleeps 12) - with meals provided on request or stay at the campsite. Nestled at the foot of the 'krans' next to the river, and boasting full amenities; the natural site is ideal for campers and caravaners. Activities offered by Ferndale include: 4x4 Trails, microlight flips, camping, caravanning, game & bird viewing, fishing, horse riding, canoeing, abseiling, river tubing, mountain biking, quad biking, clay pigeon shooting, hiking with caves & bushman rock art and more.(Information supplied by DriveOut Magazine).
