Recent posts indicate that fly-aways are suffering, and people are not flying together anymore.
I am planning on taking leave for the biggest part of December. Will be mostly in Standerton on the farm with the family, but I want to fly away a bit as well.
Ek wil ALWEER see toe vlieg.. en ek wil visvang ook!
So - from Standerton to Piet Retief (100 miles) fuel stop. Piet Retief to Jozini Dam (65 miles). Spend a day tiger-fishing?? Then to Sodwana (52 miles) Spend a day or two deepsea fishing / lying on the beach/ flying to Kosi Bay
Back - one leg to Piet Retief (116 miles) - fuelstop, and another leg to Standerton (100 miles) (4 hours in good conditions - takeoff at 05h00, 30 minute fuelstop, so back in Standerton by 10h00 - before the thunderstorms.
No dates - not too much planning at this stage otherwise the weather hears about it and becomes crappy.
About a week, giving a day or so extra for weather. Francois at Sodwana charges R100 per night to sleep in the hangar. Shaya Moya will be open.. Jozini has a couple of lodges with runways. Pongola is an alternative to land if weather becomes crap.
Any interest? (This is a concept idea at this time..)

Dit klink na n lekker uitstappie



Re: EK WIL AL WEER SEE TOE..
Ek se jou daai ding - jy was mos nou die enigste ou wat in Junie by die see geland het!
Ek vlieg Desembermaande baie in die Standerton omgewing - maar hierdie jaar wil ek bietjie vakansie by die see gaan hou vir so paar dae! En ek weier om te ry - die see is BAIE mooier uit die lug uit as van die strand af!

Asterix, ek hoop die vlooie van duisend kamele versamel onder jou kieliebakke.

Re: EK WIL AL WEER SEE TOE..
Tjomma... dis als oor priorities.. As jy wil gaan stap, gaan stap. Ek het vlerke.. ek stap net as ek moet gaan patril koop!
Ek het nog nie datums nie - somewhere in Desember - dalk eers na krismis - sal check nader aan die tyd wat is die weer / belangstelling situasie. So - wanneer is JY beskikbaar?

Re: EK WIL AL WEER SEE TOE..
Seriously though, after giving my good tjom Bugwar some kak - I AM going to fly down to Sodwana in December, "Deo Volente", and if the weather is okay in the mornings. I have no dates - December 2011. Not too much planning - I learned during our NAM trip which ended up in a coastal trip and Blue Max's broken aerie that the weather will take out your plans if you plan months in advance. I am a firm believer in Murphy's Law.
From Standerton it can be done in a morning if weather allows - about 4 hours (cruise at 50 - 55 mph groundspeed) Nice thing is that before you commit for Pongola and beyond you can still set up camp on the Highveld and wait for the weather - Amersfoort, Ermelo, Piet Retief.
So if anybody is interested but you have more limited dates - let me know - I basically have the whole of December to plan around. (taking some of that accumulated leave of years gone by this year...)

Re: EK WIL AL WEER SEE TOE..
Since I read your post, it has been on my mind. I will be in Sudwana from 8 to 24 Dec.Asterix wrote:So if anybody is interested but you have more limited dates - let me know
Will decide later on if I will take the trike by road or fly the gyro down to Sudwana.
Depends on the weather.
Will be watching this topic for other interest.
If you fail.... get up and try again. That is the only way to succeed!

Glad I did not fly down to Sudwana, wind is gusting and the forecast is not good.
Take care aviators
