No, there are several routes to Clarens.

the one we using for the breakfast run I used this Friday and Sunday again and did not see a single pothole. This is the route that drives from Phutaditjaba through Golden Gate.

It's 90kms of perfect smooth tar from Harrismith to Clarens.

the road between Frankfort and Reitze is full of pot holes,infact a dirt road would be a lot better.wittnesed a grown man cry at the hotel that drove this route with a z4

was considering going harrismith then n3 back to Pretoria but it would've added an extra hour to our journey,and since I was there with the bakkie decided to go the way I came
