Klíčové informace
Podmínky
The south-west of the radio mast is a gently sloping fynbos field (easy pull-up) at the top of a serrated gully with cliffs. Thermal. 'Waboomberg' overlooks the dry fruit valley of Ceres. To the east lie the salt-pans of Inverdoorn and the beginning of the desert: XC potential is good. Mainly a spring and autumn site as the wind tends to swing W early in the afternoon due to a low pressure developing in the desert. Ï¿½Turbulence soon after launch. Power lines on landing. Ï¿½Strong turbulent W wind in the summer afternoons.
Přístup a přistání
The 'bad road/friendly farmer' route: take the N1 to Worcester, then the R43 to Ceres, turn left to Prince Alfred Hamlet, and drive up the Gydo Pass. 7km from the top of the pass, turn right and drive for approximately 8km along the gravel road. Turn right into the farm 'Driefontein* and head up to the farm house to arrange permission, before continuing (2hrs) on the 4x4 road past the right hand side of the farm dam. The 'good road / unfriendly farmer' route - negotiate permission well in advance with Gielie Oberholzer on the farm on eastern side through Louis.
