Dam Inspection

Postby Condor » Tue Jun 24, 2008 9:06 pm

Hi Gyronaughts

Following our Zebula trip I intend to do a Dam Inspection on 5 July 2008.

Proposed route:
Kitty Hawk
Bronkhorstspruit Dam
Premier Mine Dam
Olifants River Gorge
Loskop Dam
Olifants River
Groblersdal Airfield
Here we have breakfast and refuel.
Remeber to bring your own breakfast, I will try to arrange fuel.

Groblersdal Airfield
Rhenosterkop Dam
Rust de Winter Dam
Nooitgedacht Dam
Hartebeespoort Dam
Route just south of the Magaliesberg back to Kitty Hawk.

Nothing is final, just a proposal.

Reply if you have better ideas or want to join us.

Hi Gerrit,
You know me. I'm always keen on burning fuel and gaining experience.
I will email you after this weekend to Middelburg/Kloppenheim

Hi Gerrit

This sounds like a good idea.

If I may make a suggestion though, should we not fly the trip the other way round and stoip for breakfast in Brits (they should have fuel) and then cut out Groblersdal and route direct from Renosterkop to Loskop, Premier Mine, Bronkhorstspruit and Kitty?

My passenger has, apparently, found the differrence between am and pm on his alarm clock so, hopefully I should be able to make it this time.

I think I'll put my flying boots on for a change and join in, thanks Gerrit.
