O, die donkie is \u2019n wonderlike ding . . . ja-nee die donkie is \u2019n wonderlike ding.<\/p>\n

Maar di\u00e9 donkie rol nie in die sand of vreet \u2019n koerant nie. Nee! Hy moet gestook word \u2013 en behoorlik ook.<\/p>\n

Eers twee teesakkies deurweek van paraffien, verduidelik Eric Botha, eienaar van Ragels Rivier Gasteplaas, 30km buite Kareedouw, en steek di\u00e9 sakkies aan die brand. Die fyn hout- jies volg.<\/p>\n

Volgende is die dikhout. Di\u00e9 gooi jy sommer van die kant af in.<\/p>\n

Binne minder as \u2019n uur het jy warm water.<\/p>\n

Terwyl die water stook, pak ons uit en verken die kliphuis \u2013 ons blyplek vir die naweek: twee slaapkamers (elk met sy eie badkamer), \u2019n kombuis, leefarea (met \u2019n groot vuurherd), stoep en buite-braai.<\/p>\n

Wanneer die donkerte die plaas omhels \u2013 jou vleisie sissend op die indringerboom-kole \u2013 is die sterre en volmaan bokant jou prentjiemooi. Dit word snags pikdonker.<\/p>\n

Uile roep en paddas gaan \u201chuur\u201d op hul beurt vuurvliegies om in die rivier te gaan opsit.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Die selfsorgblyplek is omskep in \u2019n leefhuis wat so ver moontlik sy oorspronklikheid behou het. En dis goed, want dit dra by tot die plaaservaring.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Stilte wat dreun<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Dit is nog donker buite toe kondig die bokmakiere al die nuwe dag aan \u2013 n\u00f3g voor die werfhaan kraai. <\/p>\n

Skape bl\u00ear in die verte.<\/p>\n

Dis koud en dus beter om nog so \u2019n bietjie langer onder die komberse te vertoef. Netnou versteur \u2019n mens die vo\u00ebls en dan is al die gefluit verby. <\/p>\n

Want hierdie kliphuis kyk uit oor die landerye. Mooi. Sommer baie mooi.<\/p>\n

Maar laatslaap is tydmors.<\/p>\n

Ons kry vir Eric by sy getroue Toyota Land Cruiser (Annatjie), reg vir omgewingsverkenning. Ons ry verby \u2019n eensame perske- en lemoenboom \u2013 dalk die nasate van \u2019n oeroue vrugteboord? Regs van die \u2018boord\u2019 steek die oorblyfsels van \u2019n vergete fondasie tussen die bosse uit.<\/p>\n

\u201cDie plek is ryk aan geskiedenis . . .\u201d mymer Eric. \u201cEn interessante name: Moordenaarskloof, Geutedrif en Koffie se Tuin (vernoem na \u2019n donkie).\u201d<\/p>\n

Kyk . . . wys hy berg-op. Teen die berghange l\u00ea oral stippellynpaadjies van klip wat met \u2019n byna onsigbare helling tot onder by die plaashuis loop.<\/p>\n

\u201cDit is die ou watervore wat die eerste boere gebruik het,\u201d vertel hy.<\/p>\n

Ongelooflik.<\/p>\n

\u2019n Skilpad kou lustig aan \u2019n bossie.<\/p>\n

Ragelsrivier<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Ons stop vir boeretroos en heerlike tuisgemaakte beskuit by die rivier.<\/p>\n

\u2019n Bietjie regs lyk die groen en persblou water soos verf op \u2019n skilder se palet. Anderkant die groot swartwattel \u201cbaklei\u201d die water teen die spoelklippe en kronkel dit om draai. Die berg kyk swyend toe.<\/p>\n

Gehipnotiseerd staan jy daar, wonder watter verhale die Ragelsrivier jou kan vertel. Van droogte en vloed, vis, plant, mens en dier \u2013 wat deur die eeue heen in die gebied tussen ravyn, berg en vallei met mekaar leer saamleef het.<\/p>\n

H\u00ed\u00e9r, in die hart van die ho\u00eb Kougaberge, op die rand van die Baviaanskloof, voel dit asof jy alleen op die aarde is \u2013 soos Adam in die paradys voordat die mense vermenigvuldig het.<\/p>\n

En die naam Ragelsriver?<\/p>\n

Eric frons liggies: \u201cEk vermoed di\u00e9 rivier is na \u2019n oud-inwoner, tannie Ragel, vernoem \u2013 maar die geskiedenis is skraps. Nie eers die ouer inwoners in die omgewing kan vir my s\u00ea hoe, waar en wat nie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kameras werk oortyd, want die een uitsig is mooier as die ander. En wat so verrassend is, is dat daar om elke hoek en draai nuwe uitsigte, koppe, rotsformasies, berge, murasies en verskillende dier- en plantspesies is.<\/p>\n

Terug by die kliphuis gaan sit ons platbas op die grondpad. Doodstil, totdat die skape en lammetjies \u2013 selfs \u2019n drie- en vierling nader staan en net vir ons kyk en kyk en kyk.<\/p>\n

Wat \u2019n gevoel van vrede.<\/p>\n

Ek beny Eric en Leigh-Ann se lewe langs die rivier tussen die berge.<\/p>\n

Hier is spasie, stilte wat dorpsore dae neem om aan gewoond te raak, en eenvoud, maar bowenal tyd vir dink.<\/p>\n

Gaan \u2018wild\u2019<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Toekomsplanne sluit in meer kampterreine, asook verskeie boskampe \u2013 vir diegene wat heeltemal \u2018wild\u2019 wil kamp (heeltemal afgesonder van ander mense).<\/p>\n

Verskillende staproetes en naambordjies is ook op sy doenlysie.<\/p>\n

En om van al die indringerbome op die plaas ontslae te raak \u2013 \u2019n allemin-tige taak wat hom al die laaste sewe jaar besig hou.<\/p>\n

Ragels Rivier Gasteplaas is die perfekte wegbreekplek vir diegene wat opsoek is na avontuur en \u2019n outentieke buitelewe-ervaring.<\/p>\n
