Myself (Condor and daughter Marianze), Mav (Denis Mavro and Betsie) Tinkerbell (Juanita and Marius) Oldno7 (Glen Dean) Hannes (from Microland) and one other Ela (sorry can not remember the names) took of from Kitty Hawk around 7:30.

We routed south of the Magaliesberg Ridge through an un-manned Waterkloof, crossed the ridge just south of Rosslyn, routing for the Tswaing Crater where we did an orbit around the crater, then on to Klipvoordam and on to Zebula.

The temporary runway is in a good condition but the new tarred runway will be great when completed.

It was cold at Zebula with a fairly strong crosswind, but the breakfast spread is always a treat.

Routing back was as straight as possible due to fuel saving measures. Hannes landed at Kitty Kawk and took on fuel as a precautionary measure. I had around 18 litres left (started with 80 litres).

Thank you for everbody that joined, we will do this again soon.........
