Not sure where Stilbaai is, but there is a Strip (with sock) very close to Misty Bay. I haven't landed there but the strip looks landable for a trike, evaluated from the ground. I have the Coords on my GPS.

There's a strip on a farm 2 km north of Denysville.

Next time you head that way make a turn at Circus for a cup of Coffee.
It on route and about 35mins flight from the dam.

Dre-man,

How's your license going? I was flying this morning around FAVV and was wondering where you hiding! 8)

Looking for some flying company. I'll fly out to Circus tomorrow or next Saturday.
