The "ground crew" route if anyone needs it....

Wife's instructions: :wink:

Take the R50 towards Delmas. Go past Microland on the left and carry on straight for 4.8km…..where you reach a 4 way stop. Now zero your odometer! Go straight over and stay on the R50 to Delmas….after 23 km you will go over the N12…..keep going, after 29km you will drive through Delmas…keep driving straight and just stay on the R50. At about 75km you will reach the intersection with the R29. Go straight over and stay on the R50 through the town…just past the town at about 77km you must turn onto the N17 east ( IE left! :roll: )…the on ramp is to your left before the bridge ahead!.

Zero your odometer again!

Travel along the N17 east for 15,4km and take the R546 offramp. At the junction turn right over the highway (the sign should say Standerton/Evander?).

Zero your odometer again!

Travel along the R546 for about 15km…you will go through Evander here….keep going straight along the R546….at 42.7km, look out for a small dirt road to your left but stay on the tar…keep going straight, the farm entrance is 720m from this dirt road on the left hand side in between a few trees.

I told her if she gets lost just follow any road to Standerton! :lol: We'll fetch her there....the only GPS we own is going with me! ^

5km after Evander you get a 4 way stop at the Embalenthle township. Proceed straight and about 15km further you go straight through a dorpie Charl Cilliers. (one bottle store and a speed strap)Proceed about 10 km out of town with the farm and dirt road on your left.

If you come to a massive brickyard with Coal trucks then you've gone too far.

James...ek gaan nie Happy B day se nie want ek was mos daar en het klaar n paar rum en coke's met jou ge drink op die dag. (^^) (^^) (^^)

What I do want to say, is THANK YOU! :)

Weather was not good enough for the Beautiful Dawn and I to fly in but I did get a lekker ride in TC's Discoball and so can at least say I did arrive by air! (!!) Francios you showed me what a GT can do and I am most impressed. I felt as if I was in a Cessna most times and the speed difference takes some getting used to for an Aquilla junkie like me. :lol: A perfect landing in tricky conditions...jy mag maar vlieg hoor! Thanks for the ride chom. (^^)

James... we were spoilt by you and your entire family from the moment we got there till the moment we left and it was great to be able to spend your 40th with you and some awesome flying mates. (!!) I have never eaten so much food in my life and with such great hospitality to boot....it was really special. :)

You guys rock. (!!) Fly back safe dudes, I hope the weather demon gives you a gap today. vhpy
