Written by Amorita Engelbrecht Ons was in Oktober 2019 laas op ons Wing. Moes wag vir 'n nuwe waterpomp en het ook gesukkel met 'n hoeklig wat aanhou doodgaan het, so ons het baie uitgesien na die naweek by die Marriott Hotel in Saldanha.  Ons het besluit om nie saam met die groep vir ontbyt na Bellville te gaan nie, maar hulle op pad na Langebaan te kry. Was lui om vroeër op te staan!  By die Weskus Petrostasie kry ons vir Pieter en Marietjie, ook hulle seun Wynand; hy het heen en weer gery om video's van die groep...

Written by Amorita Engelbrecht The gale-force southeaster has been torturing us for a week, so chances of going on the run with our Wing was becoming slimmer every day!  Rain was also predicted, so André decided the car was the best option.  We turned up at the meeting place, but after waiting for the rest for more than half an hour, we realised that something was wrong.  The group apparently forgot that we were also going and left a bit earlier!  After contacting Igsaan, we heard that they were already at Betty's Bay and we decided to meet them at...

Written by Amorita Engelbrecht Feroza het oral gesoek en toe dié lekker plekkie gevind. Ons hou al die hele week die weer dop; dit lyk of dit die naweek gaan reën in Elgin - moeilik om te glo aangesien dit aan hierdie kant van die berg al so warm is!  Ons besluit om maar met die motor te gaan, daar is ook 'n stukkie grondpad waarvoor ek maar versigtig is!  Goeie besluit, want Saterdagoggend word ons wakker met 'n tierende suidoos wat waai, nie 'n manier wat ek op die Wing klim nie. We still had to do our weekly...

  Vrydag, 4 Oktober 2019 Ons ontmoet almal by Alzu en eet by Spur. Na ete pak ons die pad aan Barberton toe. Dis vrekwarm met ons aankoms daar en ons kry ietsie te drinke. Die mooiste uitsig begroet ons op die pas buite Barberton. Ons ry maar stop-stop. In Witrivier stop ons die laaste keer vir petrol en vinnige vingeretetjie. Anton drink die laaste bietjie koffie – al wil niemand glo dat dit net koffie is nie. Ons bereik ons finale bestemming omtrent 16:30. Lieflike lugversorgde kamer begroet ons. Die groot uitpak begin. Daarna is ons almal rustig onder...

Vrydag, 4 Oktober 2019 Dit is koel en windstil toe ons om 4 v.m. uit Gordonsbaai vertrek. By Worcester kry ons vir Wynand en Anna en Willie en Magdalena. As ons net 'n paar minute gewag het, was Boet en Renthia ook by ons.  Hulle het darem gou by ons aangesluit. Net buite Laingsburg stop 'n verkeersman ons, Wynand het besluit hy hou sommer verby, gelukkig was al ons papiere in orde. Ons eet by Drie Susters. Dit is nog steeds koel, met die wind wat effens opkom. Die veld is bitter droog. 'n Vorige keer toe ons hier verby...

Written by Amorita Engelbrecht Na reën en wind is Sondag stil maar yskoud.  By Somerset-Wes voel dit of ons yspakke op ons knieë het!  Ons kry vir Johan Hattingh langs die pad. Ek sê nogal vir André sy hande kry nie koud nie; sy Wing se handvatsels word mos warm. Ons s'n is al dood van die koue. Nee, sê hy, toe ons afklim by Swartland petrolstasie – hy het al wat ‘n knop is gedruk en getrek, maar kon niks regkry nie! Nadat hy die handleiding bestudeer het, het hy die regte knop gekry!  "When all else fails ...!" Naby...
