How can it be possible that every time you plan a fly away mother nature steps inn and says =; -xX .

Its been three weeks in the making and this morning four trikes were set to depart for the waterberg :D but now im sitting in my office writing this c@#p out of pure :evil:

Well i guess there's nothing we can do but just stare out into the clear blue sky and dream. :cry:

It does look like we made the right call but it still does not take away the &*%$&# anger. Especially when i think about how beautiful it would have been out there :cry: :cry:

But i guess there is always next time, or the next or the next or who the hell knows when...

I know the feeling and feel your pain Massimo

Was set to fly to Graskop last Saturday - Trip called off due to expected mist on escarpment. :cry:

Anyhow - Made up for it by logging 4 hours Saturday anyhow :D

If that is the case then the braai at Rhino in my hanger will be called off.

So we have to look at the morning weather.

If I have to lie in bed on a Saturday and not go to the field my wife will have funny thoughts, I know she will say I'm up to some new shit bru.

The bigger the problem the bigger the hammer.
