It is this `last resort of the living dead, alive but not madly kicking` which Iain Finlayson explores in his witty, enthralling book. ...

The Tankwa has become increasingly popular in recent years; famous for its wonder-filled National Park & for hosting the annual Afrika Burn festival. There are many delightful places to stay &, in the high Roggeveld with its winter snowfalls, many fascinating nooks & crannies to explore. But this is not a place for the faint-hearted – we advise travelling these lonely roads with at least a pair of well-equipped high-clearance vehicles, & two spare wheels! This is the first detailed map ever produced of the whole Tankwa & the Roggeveld Escarpment. This double-sided, full-relief map covers, at a scale of 1:200 000, the eastern Cederberg mountain range in the west & the Roggeveld escarpment to the east. In between lies the entire Tankwa-Karoo & the smaller but drier Ceres-Karoo. From Calvinia in the north the map stretches southwards to Middelpos, Sutherland & Laingsburg, & westwards to Touws River & Ceres, with Op-die-Berg & Wupperthal on the western edge.
- All roads from National Highways to minor gravel roads are shown; the many classifications that indicate the quality of each road help you plan your route. There is a special section about the roads. Distances are clearly shown with 4 x 4 information & warnings where necessary.- GPS coordinates in DD MM SS format are provided for every road-junction.- All tourism facilities & accommodation establishments are shown in the out-of-town areas.- The map links to our maps of the Cederberg & the Swartberg & Klein-Karoo.
