Contact for Ladismith (W.C) strip please!

Postby Learjet » Tue Feb 11, 2014 7:44 pm

Attending a wedding in Ladismith (western cape) this weekend and considering flying in. Does anyone have current info about the condition of the strip there? (been a few floods over the past couple of years in the area) or perhaps a local contact please?
Thanks
Dave

An update in the event that anyone searches for Ladismith info in the future:
Flew in this past weekend and the runway was fine to use - gravel and a bit stony, with the some tufts of grass and small bushes growing on the runway - but no dongas, holes or mole heaps. OK for light aerie / microlight / gyro use.
Runway is situated a couple of clicks outside of town - entrance gate was locked so a bit of a lug with kit to get to the road.
