Any Microlighters operating near Ellisras and Tom Burke / Groblersbrug please. I need to fly there and a place to land, about 700m long.

Right next to (east of) Ellisras is a grass strip. Any info on owner please? If not available I can use the tar runway to the west, but transport to town is a problem.

At Tom Burke I need to park the Aircraft for a day or two, so Swartwater is out. (and too far from Groblersbrug).

Thank you vhpy

Haai Pieter, dit is groot van jou, baie dankie. Jy sal sommer dat ek vir jou 'n Bells saambring :lol:

Ek het pas reggekom met landingsplek en stoorplek vir die Cub, net paar kilometer vanaf die grenspos. Dit is sommer 'n lekker fuelstop oppad Alldays Bosveldfees toe :wink:

Maar baie dankie vir die aanbod, ek waardeer dit.

Cell phone pictures.

The runway is almost 1000m long and below 3000' MSL. The local Farmers Co-Op is round the corner (15Km) for Mogas, but not open on Saturday after noon or Sundays.

If you have time to spare, go by air.

En as jy nog meer tyd het, vlieg dan met die Cub!! :shock: As die winde half teen jou is vat dit nog langer!

Totale vliegtyd soheen 4.4 uur, en terug, met die laaste been 'n bietjie stertwind, was vinnig, net 3.8 uur. Dit was verseker nie lekker vliegweer hierdie naweek nie.

Die Inter-link lorries met vol vrag het my weggery! (**)

Ons praat nie oor die refuel oppad terug nie :shock: Daar was nie landingsfooie nie :roll: :wink: :lol:
