Ek moet my ander trike ( gekoop terwyl ek in Nam was) volgende week in Margate gaan help.
Ek is nie lus vir hoe berge nie en wil weet wat is die beste roete en ook wat is die ko-ordinate van die shell stasie waar n ou kan refill.
Tx gents,

Well technically you are landing on a National road. Albeit the servitude...sheesh the guys have been doing that for years at Escourt Ultra city? Someone must have complained I guess.
Unless its a forced/precautionary landing you'd be liable for the same/similar fine on any other national road.
Oom Paul what about:
Margate to Escourt (The aerodrome
) 110NM
Escourt to Volksrust 99NM
Volksrust to FABA 115NM
Nice short legs compared to Namibia!
Ok, so Bundy and I must have been typing at the same time...
I am looking at doing a similar route in December, but just the opposite direction...
Ingwe to Volksrust
Volksrust to Howick
Howick to Munster (south of Margate with Vernon)
The journey from there goes further down the coast, then back inland and home via gariep and bloem...
Bundy, with yiu referencing Volksrust, do you know anyone at their field? It is one of the few places left on the list for december that I dont have any specific contacts...
Cheers
Craig

Afraid not boet, but just post a topic on it and I'm sure you can find assistance.
Sounds like a lekker trip!
Just plan many alternates...DEC = BIG CB's in the berg.
I have also wanted to do a KZN trip (Via the battlefields) for a while...but...nou ja, wat kan ons se?
Money = Lift
PM Asterix...I think he has flown to Volksrust before!

Thanks Boet,
Appreciate the input... one main backup is family and friends in a vehicle with a trailer...
The second is when planning a route, I usually take 2 bands on either side of my track 5 and 10 miles, and put every airfield I can find i that area on my map, and program all those into my gps...
I am not averse to turning and running... the idea of flying close to charlie bravos in a trike does not appeal... they are bad enough when you get close in a chopper...
When you do look at the battlefields trip, let us know... I for one would be interested...
Chat soon
Craig
