Chantelle (hopefully) and I are in. Bundy - if we get caught in weather and have to stay the Monday it won't be a problem for me, but Softness has to be back in Jhb. If the Isuzu will be coming back on the Sunday she'll come with but otherwise she can't chance it.

Gonna be a lekker trip! (^^)

Hi Allan
As daar nog 'n plek is, is ek in.
Dis 'n baie mooi roete wat James voorgestel het en as ons vroeg vlieg behoort die weer ons kans te gee.

Alan, pvt room for me and D too please. :oops: And, don't forget the red rose petals on the bed and the champagne on ice. :lol:

I don't know what it looks like at BM's pozzie? Is there hangarage? Or must I bring tie downs and a cover? puff

I am a bit concerned about the scenic part of the trip. :? This time of year is not ideal for long flights extending mid morning, especially with my precious pax. Landing and refueling will add at least another 30 minutes to the ETA? Lets ur on the cautious side. :shock: :shock:

Be flexible! (^^) And safety first. Noem my Bang gat.....Dankie! (^^)

Just think slap chips Mulder :lol:

I would say land and refuel then get caught in a headwind and do an unexpected landing coz you decided to skip your planned fuel stop ##

Paul, the scenic route is roughly 100NM, if we are in the air at 5h00, we should land at our destination around 7-7h30? Worse case is whilst onroute to Loskop Dam and the wind picks up heavy head wind, we divert to our final destination; after all I have a realible Transvaal maps on my Garmin!

Yeah :mrgreen:

For sure..I would probably catch you on the way or meet you there.

For now I have this plan:I would be going via the Crater skirting North around the built up area passing Carousel Hotel with Mongena Airfield as an option if I need to do a fuel stop or have a P(10 2 1,it will be for a P ## ),otherwise heading straight passing Rhenosterkop dam for Oom Blue Max place...Going to be insane ##

Total of 123 miles(statute) going to be covered one way...2hrs14min with no wind... ##

Looking forward to an awesome weekend ##

Oom Paul is going to have to extend his place. Kan hy 52 trikes hanteer?

Alan, agter op jou bakkie begin n' opsie word. Of slaap iemand al daar? :lol: Ek kan AMH se vlerk gebruik as n' dak! Die blomme in die veld sal moet done vir die "rose petals" :lol:

N' short cut kan werk as dit sleg raak (-)

Feizel, you always fly in an arch to your destination so it will be a change for you to go direct. :lol: That is why I loaded all of that stuff on your GPS. :oops: No more excuses. ## With you it is always the scenic route :lol:

Can't wait. puff Wanted to do a trip like this for a long time. (^^)

Oh... on Saturday, the 1st, there is a breakie at Springs.
