Lots of fun could be had at Church Haven en route to Langebaan - some great beaches there for pics...If it's on 30 May we're in....
Seriously? :shock:

You obviously haven't seen a bad road before. The road to Beaverlac is 100% for a Mercedes Benz and caravan behind it without issues. I go there every year and its in no better or in worse condition. A VW bus can handle a road 10 times worse.
Hehe - tell that to the drivers of cars that had to be rescued by the farm tractor going back up the hill :)

Campers 2 small.jpg
Just be careful of thieves at Leentliesklip - I had three campers hired for a 30th bierhday roadtrip up the West Coast and they camped there. In the middle of the night thieves sneaked into the front of one of the campers and stole wallets and cellphones, etc. When the theft was discovered and reported to management it was discovered that this was not an isolated case. So keep doors closed and locked while you sleep to avoid a visit to the police station the next day....

Unfortunately we are going to have to postpone this one.
The weather is not playing along and most people are not able to make this weekend.

Lets see who rocks up and we can make a breakfast decision then - if the weather is OK, maybe the farm stall just outside Melkbos?

Moffies!! The weather is nothing. :twisted:

Donovan, you will find that most will not make the effort to join and remain in front of their televisions. Best just to pack your own stuff and go.
