He's at it, again! Some high points follow if you want to follow along in your song book (good South African map.)
Following Ryno Verster's trip to the U.S. in June/July (we drove two of my South African Minis 6,000 miles to and from Mini Meet with other SAMOA members -- see Dan's photos), he's invited me to South Africa for a little jaunt. We have a "one lap of South Africa" planned, among other things.
I fly to S.A. on the Aug. 13th to help Ryno finish getting two Wolseley 1000s ready for the road trip. The 23d I'll be at the Jo'burg area Mini 50th and on the 24th we head out on a 25 day adventure circumnavigating South Africa in a counterclockwise direction.
The first "leg" will take us down the west coast with a stop for a couple of days at Paternoster for side trips, photo ops at Wolseley, and then three days near Cape Town with Ryno's daughter and family. We should reach Wolseley and Milnerton (near Cape Town) by Sunday the 30th.
The next leg takes us along the south and east coasts as far as St. Lucia Wetland Park via/passing through Port Elizabeth (Sept 5), East London (Sept 6), Kokstad (Sept 7), and Durban (Sept 8).
Next comes a trip clockwise around the west side of Swaziland and into Kruger National Part at the Witrivier Gate on Sept. 12. We'll continue north exiting the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park at the Pafuri Gate and ending up at Tshipise on Sept 15.
The final leg takes us on R572 and R510 through Thabazimbi and back to Ryno's near Pretoria by the 17th. I stay as a guest of the Versters until I fly out on the 27th. (It will probably take that long to clean up the cars!)
