A very nice weekend . . .

Here are a few pictures from our weekend at Keurboom river resort. I want to thank ALL my friends with whom I had such a nice time there. I can't wait for the next outing.

Oudebosch Paragliding TakeOff

Today we went up the Oudebosch hill, right next my father in law's diary farm. Up there is a Paragliding takeoff area but it was too windy for any flying. I myself am only into paramotoring now but still have a few friends at the paragliding club. Nice view from up there :-)

Tent practice :-)

On Friday we will go camping in a wilderness near Plettenberg-Bay (Western Cape, South Africa). My wife is not keen on camping. My kids manged to make her agree to a 'trial camp'. I only hope the weather will be nice.

4x4 Outing at Brakkeduine

And what a day it was :-) I can't wait to get my own 4x4

Picture near my field landing.

A few weeks ago I did run out of fuel, while returning from a epic flight at a nearby water dam. It was only 3Km from 'home' but the terrain was so difficult and remote, it took me hours to get any help. The fact that it got dark while walking with the motor on my back, did not help either. Anyway, while looking over my old track logs, I saw the one flight from last year, which had a similar return path. I quickly checked for pictures I took during that flight and  guess what: One single picture was taken and it was at the exact spot (+-150m) from where I was forced to land. The only difference was the altitude :-) Should I have had this height while my engine cut off, I should have easily glided the 3KM to home. WTF This is life :-) 

My Police patrol bike :-)

Why do people eyeball me? I am only doing my job. Ok Ok, is Friday afternoon and the 4.2 Liter V8 has a bit of a intimidating growl on it but really, there isn't much else to see, or is it?
