Related to a round the country tour, I though this qualified as a whole new topic
When is the best flying in your area?
I also want travel to fairer climes when the wind is pumping through Cape Town. Are there any windless havens close to Cape Town?
And a guide could serve people who trailer their trike on holiday with them.

Excellent idea! Perhaps also add whether hire-and-fly is possible in the area for wing-less folks like me. (Cape Town weather really s*cks these days, especially for the weekend-flier.)

You can see average wind conditions (by month) for most areas in SA in Jan & Elzabe Coetzee's Microlight Airfields in South Africa.
