I know . . . . REAL BAD!

I'm overseas until the 24th, so I believe it gets better after that! :lol:

I am going to see if I can get out of bed tomorrow and brave the cold & get in at least 60 min of flying time before work.

It's better then nothing...

I had a lengthy flight this past Saturday and only landed at 10h20. Anyone in Gauteng could have flown on Saturday morning ! It was piss cold though. I even went to look for John dot at Aeroden at 09h00. But I only found that ever-welcome-coffee from Linda and talking shop with Basie (hell, that Aeroden remains a nice place !).

I think this coming weekend should be fine. This newest front is buggering off along the east coast, won't harm us in GP.

People I am getting very desperate here. However I dont think this weekend's front will be as bad as the last two. Hope I'm right. I really want to get my aerie up north now.... ## (there will be no trailering!) vhpy

Good thing i cancelled AGAIN. Sunday morning here in Poloks one hell of a wind picked up and blew untill late afternoon - same thing this morning. Would have been in trouble coming through the mountains, with a gusting wind from the south.

Hi James..As jy van Microland af kom vlieg dan oor Elands Quad en daarna sit Potgieters rus in jou gps, dan as jy naby Potties kom sien jy die berge en jy hou links en jy gaan deur n wye poort oor Potgietersrus, daarna route jy na Pietersburg. As jy jou roete so uitwerk vlieg jy glad nie oor berge nie en ek bet jy het jou roete nie met 20 km langer gemaak nie..
Die enigste bietjie berge wat jy kry sal die rif net kort voor Eland wees en jy ken daardie berge..daarna is dit afdraend tot by Pottis.. Sorg net dat jou aerie al by jou is as ek trug is..Ons wil vlieg.!!!
