We are all going down with one thing on our minds and that is to fly the Wild Coast and with him being able to supply us with a place to land clean petrol and a place to sleep over I promise you Kevin will become a annual event in our diaries for our Group. well I lied there is actually one other thing on our minds and that is fresh afordable seafood. As soon as we have put up our pictures after our return you will see how many enquieries and bookings he'll get. I have asked him to give me his runway co ods in deg min and sec but unfortunately he hasn't responded yet so if you have them aswell as his cell no please give it to me. Thank you.
Hi Wingover, My cell no is 0783052434 The co ords are 31.41.1483.S 29.14,58.92 E.Looking forward to meeting you guys

A good way to "get on the map" is always to organise a "Breakfast Run". Give us plenty notice and, as it gets closer to the time, make sure the weather is good and we will be there. 1hr 40 for the lads at about 75 knots.
Sounds like a good trip and a great breakfast run.

[quote="vernon11"] At the present price of R200.00 p/p a night, it is a gift.
Ek sal nie graag iemand se gasvryheid wil uitbuit nie maar ek dink R200 is te min. Maak dit ten minste R300. Dan kan n ou darm weer daar weggaan sonder n skuldige gewete.! (-)

31*41' 10.66 S, 29*15'04.53
Overfly the Port St Johns air field (from the north side) and keep going in direction of the PSJ runway for about 20 mins in a Trike in still air.
Do a right-hand circuit (to avoid a steep valley) and land with the windsock on your right-hand side. Land as short as possible with speed in hand.
Runways recently cut, but Kevin wants to know if anyone is coming? Phone 0783052434

Yesterday I posted a long schpiel and, today, its not there anymore.
The gist was that Kevin's computer has gone down so he asks that everyone communicates with him by phone. 0783052434

:(
Have not been on the forum for quite some time and even forgotten my password. :(
Sorry Kevin I did not come down with my trike this year and therefor could not visit your place.
With the weather in store I don,t think there will be anybody sleeping over.
Our friends, Francois and Amanda had problems with the fuel valve on the tank and I don't think he will have it repaired in time.
I am putting you on my Bucket-list which is by now growing longer whiles time is getting shorter. :wink:
