Seen from above, you can get a real sense of how magical it is to Segway through the lush orchards of the @oakvalleywines estate.

Thank you @RyGuySA and Gershwin for capturing the action from the sky!

Gear up and get outdoors this autumn - plan a day trip from Cape Town & explore the beautiful Elgin Valley!

Roll in the countryside with u, 'refuel' at the @ElginRailwayMkt afterwards, listen to live music & stock up on farm fresh goodies before heading back to the city ☺️

Start early!! Don't wait. Go camping. Get out there. Before you know they will be too old and too cool to join you in nature.

@Derek_Hanekom How about a 4x4 wine tour on farm roads that are not open to the public? And private wine tastings with the winemakers. After we do the @CapeSegways tour on Oak Valley from the market. So much more to do lately! Come soon and bring Trish 😊

[Cape Segways @CapeSegways]

@DebElginAfrica @Derek_Hanekom That's a splendid idea!

And maybe - fingers crossed - if it snows, you can go ziplining in a winter wonderland together with @CapeCanopyTour too 🙌

[Cape Canopy Tour @CapeCanopyTour]

Winter is coming which means ziplining with white capped mountains!

We’re hoping for heavy snow falls this year - if you’d like to experience the thrill of soaring through a winter wonderland, join our Snow Updates WhatsApp group: https://t.co/4w7pmaP4bt

Last month the lovely @LeratoLefafa and @RefiloeDTourist came down from the metropolis of Johannesburg to @ExperienceElgin on two wheels - these ladies are naturals and we hope they'll be back for many more adventures in the valley soon!

Hurtling over cliffs, forging canyons, and sometimes creating their own clouds, waterfalls' relentless course reshapes the landscape around them https://t.co/09utXX1LoK

We got visited by a grand old dame yesterday: a 'pretty in pink' vintage @Cadillac convertible!

With those racy double rockets above her tail lights, she might be able to time travel... who wouldn't like to be whisked back to the weekend in this 'dreamboat'?

Sometimes guests say it better than we can - thank you Warren 🇦🇺

"Imagine a setting high in the Hottentots Holland Mountains with the rushing waters of a river in the valley far below. Picture stunning views, pristine fynbos and breathtaking locations."

Nervous about your ability to 'roll' gracefully on two wheels?

Driving a Segway is easier than rollerblading & we give you sufficient training in the @ElginRailwayMkt 'yard' to make sure you're comfortable manning this unusual vehicle before taking you out into 'the wild' 😉

Full steam ahead! https://t.co/wTaUUADABy @ElginRailwayMkt @CeresNews @RCYCSailing #CeresRailCompany

Think outside the box - join us for a 2-wheeled 'space age' adventure in the countryside and @ExperienceElgin at its best!

The group TLC advised in song:

“Don’t go chasing waterfalls - please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to.”

However, we love our water ‘features’ and the thrilling speed you get to experience while ziplining.

What’s your #EarthCapture for today?

Claire Minnaar came to #ReimagineTheWeekend with us last year & shared her thoughts about our market on her blog @MomTalkSA:

Winter's coming but our Beast will keep things cosy & kids can blow off steam on our indoor climbing wall!

"What's taking so long, Weekend? We're waiting for you... "

Love @lifewithme_sa's great shot of her waiting expectantly beside the tracks for the train to arrive.

Which is how we feel: waiting for you and your marvellous mom's to arrive in steamy glory courtesy of Ceres Rail!
