I thought I would take the liberty and suggest a route. Planned it all with lots of fuel reserve for a 70ltr tank in Easyplan.

From Kitty Hawk to Gariep, then from Gariep to Stellies...

Can't upload the EP1 file here so those of you who have EasyPlan, email me at lenk AT epr.co.za and I will send you the file with my suggested route.

From Gariep to Stellenbosch in any average gyro, you will need 150 litres of fuel. Here goes the wife !

Ok , so we have 13 guys so far flying out of Gauteng. 3 from Bloemmies and 3 from KZN are joining us at Gariep.
The 4 Calidus's are taking one sharp tigerline to FASH in order to set a new speedrecord in a gyro down to Cape Town! You go Theunsie !!!
Total 23.

NOW... if we take the 13 out of Gauteng , we still have a gap to fill. HEY !! WHERE ARE THE ELAs ?????????????????????? Anthony roer jou gat !! Callie ... en ????? Geen verskonings word aanvaar nie !!
Won't you put the word out and rope in some late comers and slow repliers? If we get 7 more gyros from the Gauteng area we are home and dry to make up our buddy system of 6 groups down to FASH.
The guys down South are organising a great weekend for gyros and I can just forsee the buzz for months to come after the event. This is why we fly gyros. These things can go places where no man has ever gone before. In these things you can discover universes never explored before. These things... (now Im getting carried away and getting mixed up with Star Trek , I think... )
Kom ons gooi manne !! We need 7 more guys and I will do the calls for fuel and bed and food. We must move because Paul also needs to confirm the Protea Hotel bookings for you guys in Stellies.
We take off first light on Thursday 18 November. We kuier n hond uit n bos uit at Gariepdam on Thursday evening and depart for FASH at first light again.
Groups will be spaced 30 minutes apart to facilitate smooth landing and refueling at the watering holes along the way.
Friday night we kuier in Stellenbosch. Saturday the whole day will be Gyro day . The evening is the special Aviators evening. Wait and see ! Sunday we fly back and you are back home again on Monday. You chose your own route back and leave when you want to. There will be guys flying with you. You will not be hitting the road back on your own !! Before we leave you will have teamed up with guys coming back on the same time and route as you.
This is going to be an experience that you will take with you for the rest of your gyro flying days.
Mail me at johan@noot.co.za if you are from up North and want to join us on this special occation.
Have a good one !
