Does anyone have contact details for Pongola Airfield? Or anyone in that vicinity that can provide fuel?

Thanks

If you are routing down to the coast, why not go via Vryheid, I am sure that you will find someone there willing to help with fuel, this is the route I take between Empangeni and Joburg

Because everything is related too time :(

And now looks like the weather is not playing along either, so we have option A and option B and will decide the day before depending on the forecast.

A - Barberton - Cozy - ST Lucia - Dunedee - But looks like these areas will be covered in cloud and rain
B - Bethlehem - Gariep Dam - Prieaska (all along the orange) - Then onto Upington - Kuruman - Bloemhof - Central looks less likley of rain but moerse HOT.

Ahhh the beauty of adventure. vhpy vhpy

Hi Andrew, where is hopetown?

Looks like we will be doing option b due to unpredictible weather in option a. If you want to join for a section you more than welcome. It will be nice to squash the savannah between two 701's vhpy vhpy

Im going to be making a new post on the forum of the route etc and looking for night over spots.
