el TO hitw APPROX 310KM. iTS ABOUT 290 TO cOFFEE Bay then another +_20km over the hills to HITW. Go on the n2 towards umtata. Turn off (Right as in opposite to left) at Viedgiesville (+-17km before Umtata. Follow the tar road to coffee bay. At end of town turn right onto dirt road and follow to HITW. Take it easy on the Viedgiesville road as the corners camber the wrong way and tend to throw you off the road. Avoid in the dark. On the dirt road to HITW do not take the side roads to viwing spots. They look well worn, but Kort Broek (Enviroment agent in the area) loves stopping guys for doing so and fines of up to 2.5k are dished out. arguing causes the gun to be shown.
The trip will take around 4 hrs as the Viedgiesvill road is slow. Also depends on the road works and stop goes on the N2 that are happening at the moment. I have traveled it for years and believe me, take it easy on the road.
And no, you do not go over the pont.
