Has anyone flown into Lebanon on Citrus, between Citrusdal and Clanwilliam? http://lebanon.co.za/ What is the condition of their grass strip? Any overhead lines or other potential hazards to be aware of? What about the terrain around the strip and rotor/turbulence generators in the prevailing winds?...

Whoops, stupid me... Don't know how I failed to notice that, especially after telling so many people to RTFS (Read The F%@#* Screen).

OK, starting time is perfect. Now let's hope for perfect weather.

Not quite aviation related, but many pilots live on small-holdings and farms, so here goes... I shall shortly have a surplus of a few honeybee hives, hence require somewhere to place some of these... so if you have a smallholding or some farmland near Cape Town, and no existing beehives to pollinate...
