Nope I'm sorry no dates yet, as my weather man don't do predictions so far ahead. We would really like every one to come and if the weather is no good no one will be coming. Watch this space next week. Thanks Dawie

Hi Dawie,

The guys from Ballito are keen to fly in on Sat and camp overnight leaving on Sun, we are hoping to have 3-4 LSA's with between 4-8 guys, can we confirm this closer to the time?
