Suggest you try Hans Strijdom (M10) / Graham Road (M6) (also know as Lynnwood road extension) crossing and drive 5,5km east on Graham Road (M6) then left onto Boschkop Road.

Hi Ozzie

Coming from Edenvale, the best route is past Bapsfontein. The M10 will get you there, but in time for lunch. Quite a detour.

Get on the R25 -Modderfontein road - towards Bapsfontein - depending from where in Edenvale - approx 35 km. T-juncion right. 1.5 km 4-way stop. Left towards Bronkhorstspruit. 11.5 km turn left on Grahamrd, think the sign says Wapadrand. It is basically the second turnoff on the Bronkhorstspruit rd - drive 8.5 km until you get gravel road to the right. Follow to T-junction, turn left on Boschkop road - 1 km Kitty Hawk on the left.

Google Maps: http://maps.google.co.za/?utm_campaign= ... =maps%20of

In top right corner click om Map for the roads - zoom into the relevant area.

Currently planning to drive past Kitty Hawk and fly the 4 miles back with ZU-CFW. Come introduce yourself. Would be nice meeting you.
