IceAge, I have no idea (**) , Sorry for chipping in, I've been hogging this topic for more than a week and still no answers :roll: So here goes - The mystery strip is on a farm called "Leeubank" just south of the "Jim Foche" holiday resort on the banks of the Vaal Dam. I can not believe no one has seen this before :? It's even visible on google from an eye level of 28km :shock: I'm still looking for the owners details, no luck jet :( , We'll have to fly there and hope he doesn't open the lions :shock: when we wake him on a cold Saturday morning :wink:
GPS coords visible on picture attached :!:

Kloot Piloot,

Yup it is approx 5 miles east of the Klipvoor Dam and the Borakalalo National Park, ie. the Pienaars rivier that becomes the the Moretele river that flows into the Klipvoordam. This pic was close to the settlement called Kgomo-Kgomo. A very beautiful place in the rain season as the river then overflows it's banks and we then refer to it as the 'swamps' !!!!

Just South of the Dam, taken from the middle of the dam, in the reserve is a fairly nice runway normally full of Wildebeest which is a nice place for a coffee break and some 'kuiering'.

Enjoy
