Look for Light Flight near Cato Ridge and stop past for the customary break and chat. Give me your ETA and I will meet you there.

Who all will be joining you from Springs?

Thanks wart,from Howick I'm planning to turn South to Donnybrook then Margate,
but during the holiday I'm planning a trip to Bellito, then I'll let you know for a visit,
Cobra thanks for the Gps co-ordinates.
Demon thanks, I will check the runway, it always looks good when I stopped for fuel
and brekkies with the family,and always wish I could land there.

After all the planning,this morning rainy and cloudy weather,no flying,
loaded the Gyro on the trailer and drove down to Margate, at least softness
enjoyed the rainy, cloudy weather.( no driving on her own.)
and at last, some cooler weather currently on the South Coast.

Hi nicow,
Slegte weer, het net eendag so 3 X gevlieg met vriende, het by Wilde Kus
in die rivier vallei opgevlieg, en was spyt my kamera was by die huis,het
gedink ek sal terug kom gedurende die vakansie, maar die weer het nie
dit moontlik gemaak nie. maar raai wat? die dag toe ek huis toe ry (03/01)
toe kry ons die mooi sonskyn weer.Sal weer afgaan en dan probeer ons weer.
Net n gevoel die landings fooie is belaglik (**) R31-00/landig,en ek is n
Hanger eienaar en lid van die MLPC, weet nie hoe voel die ander
Microlighters nie :twisted: :twisted:
