ELANDS QUAD CAMP - 3 AND 4 DECEMBER 2011

Postby Asterix » Wed Nov 09, 2011 8:06 pm

## ## ## WEATHER PERMITTING! ## ## ##

I will be flying down to my fellow Vulture's Nest - Elands Quad Camp, on 3 December. I will return on 4 December. He is the oldest and wisest :roll: :roll: of the Vultures, and I have not visited his Nest yet in 2011.

This is a very relaxed and non-demanding expedition. Also, the VS is scared of kak weather - so we will cancel if thinks look bad - and Blue Max, knowing all about kak weather from own experience, will not judge us if we cancel.

The previous paragraph is put in specifically to encourage "patch-flyers" who yearn to get away to participate. Please join in - we consider all pilots equal - whether you have 1 hour, 100 hours, 1000 hours or 10 000 hours since your licence. Also - we don't care whether your trike carries a 503, 582, a 912, a diesel engine or a mini-nuclear reactor - if it flies - you can join.

The flight plan will takes us over Loskopdam, then into the valley - then onto Groblersdal and Blue Max' s Nest, on Saturday morning.

For the rest of the day we will drink beer.

Sunday morning will see us back over Rust de Winter - then on to your respective field.

Already spoke to Blue Max - he is waiting for us. I have some special ideas about food / dop etc - but will post this later.

Come and be a Vulture! Whatever you fly, from where ever you fly. xxx

I suggest that pilots plan their own legs from their respective fields - and we meet up at Groblersdal. On Sunday we fly together towards Rust de Winter and then on from there to respective fields. This way everybody can be up early - Rhino guys will probably arrive first, etc, etc.

What do you think?

Oom Polla - ek kom definitief - (weereens as die WEER dit toelaat). Saterdagoggend deur - Sondagoggend terug.

Jy moet sorg dat jy meel het (growwe meel) sodat ek kan krummelpap maak Saterdagmiddag / aand. En nog 'n pot vir my wereldberoemde "Sous vir die Pap". En genoeg hout sodat ek kan skaapribbetjies braai.

Moenie worry nie - sorg jy net vir die meel (asseblief - GROWWE MEEL) en die potte, en die hout. Ek vlieg al my sous-bestanddele asook die skaapribbetjies saam. Ek sal tot 'n maksimum van 4 HEEL skaapribbes saamvlieg - twee in elke panierbag - afhangende van hoeveel ouens deurkom.

Ek vlieg ook die bottel sjampanje wat ek laasjaar vir jou gekoop het na jou trippie om die land, en toe by die huis vergeet het saam - asook Debbie se biltong wat ek haar skuld vir haar trippie Standerton toe 4 uur in die more sodat ons die trikes kan gaan haal.

Ek sal maar sien wie gaan saam - jy weet mos hoe is dit - baie ouens "kom saam", en dan sien ons hulle nooit nie!

Ons kan om die kampvuur bietjie planne beraam vir my voorgestelde verkenning van Suid-Oos Tranvaal later in Desember! (Ek dink die week tussen Dingaansdag en Kersfees is gepas.)

Ouens wat wil join - laat weet asb betyds sodat ek genoeg skaapribbetjies kan organise - en sodat ons ons orders kan insit vir die dop wat Blue Max moet gaan koop - elke ou betaal hom net na landing vir sy order. ##

Ek dink ons moet fuel reel op Grobbies vir die ouens wat fuel gaan kort vir die pad terug - dan hoef ons nie 'n perd op te saal daar by jou kamp nie - ons kan net kuier. (^^)

If there are pilots who would like to fly in to Microland on friday afternoon and then out from there on Saturday morning - let me know. I am sure we can arrange security for trikes by paying Johannes not to sleep for the night - no hangarspace though - Microland is standing FULL of trikes - most of which seldom fly :roll: :roll: - and I am also sure that we can arrange some very basic accommodation for the night.

Hi manne,
Daar is nie petrol by Grobbies nie. Maar not to worry.
Dit sal nie n probleem wees om brandstof by my te organise nie..ons stuur Jimmy met die bakkie want daar is baie kanne by my..
Hout en mieliemeel en potte en roosters alles is daar..
Ek sal die dop voor die tyd koop, die manne kan maar net hul voorkeure deurgee.
Alles sharp..Van Microland na my toe 1 en driekwart uur..Ek het dit al in uur en half gedoen ook met die trike..
Daai pap en ribbietjie klink lekkerrrr
Sien julle Sat. 3 Des.
(^^)
