South Coast flying 25 April to 4th May 2014

[CVStrong]

Hey guys,

Hope none of you were flying in the wind today, walking on the beach it was hectic enough.

Give me a shout on zero 8 three 2 five 6 eight 36 one, would love to pop in where you guys are to catch up on the trip so far.

Unfortunately I couldn't bring my trike down, as I couldn't get the caa inspection done in time.

Chat soon

Julle ouens het uitgemis op 'n lekker brekkie op Standerton! Ek het te laat gesien julle het julle roete verander via Vlakfontein. My baan is net 'n entjie verder op die noorde oewer van Grootdraai dam. Sou julle met die terugkom dieselfde roete vlieg is Julle welkom om by my te land. Vlakfontein is oor die algemeen 'n crosswind landing. My baan: S26 53 265 E29 19 029

Geniet die trippie, volgende keer gaan ek saam!

Hoe lank is jou baan Dawid ?

[Lassie]

Dis 'n 900m grondbaan.

To confirm CV's hopes, I hope all were safe on the ground today. I arrived in Ramsgate at 14h00, and experienced severe turbulence in my Bakkie all the way from Durbs. Looks like drizzle tomorrow morning and then clearing for a niceafternoon flight for you guys. Remember though, if you fly past Ramsgate beach, I have a birds eye view and a good camera! You will remember what happened last time, from my dads pics... This time I am eye witness!

I decided to skip the 1100 km trailering and come to the coast for once for the normal stuff: boogey boarding and some Serious fishing. My 8 weight Loomis is rigged with an Intermediary wf line, shock leader and pink dusky Charlie. I'll be walking the coastline tmrw morning, will keep a lookout for you. Be safe and legal, and enjoy.

I had some awesome flying yesterday.Flew down to Mthatha mouth.I could not believe the fantastic service we received.I had just landed on the beach and within 10 min a tray of hot coffee was delivered to me and my passenger. If ever you fly down the Transkei coast I would recommend you pop in to the Anchorage hotel. The managers name is Dezil Thurston and he is very microlight friendly

Sorry guys, we are all very busy here in Margate.
Will put some pics on as soon as we get an opportunity.
We are having a great time and making new friends everywhere.

Sorry Vernon11 for only answering now - I'll be down here untill 11 May. My time is pretty much tied up in fishing - going down to Port St Johns on Sunday for a 3 day stint, before heading up north along the coast again, stopping at every spot that conceivably holds shorebound gamefish...(I do not only fly, I also fly-fish...)

To Blue Max and co. at Ladysmith tonight - I confirm that the mieliestoor is open as per our telecon if you run into shit tmrw. Trikes / LSA's will have superior shelter, but Wimpie and Dad is harvesting soya bone currently so won't be able to entertain - phone Willie Griesel to come and collect you from Beginsel and book you into Apple Dew Guest House, which he owns. ( He flies himself). You are in friendly and helpful territory around Standerton.

(Now WHERE the HELL is my trophy KINGFISH??)

[vernon11]

Good luck with the fishing. My favourite spot is Mzikhaba.
