I meet you in Longreach at the bakery one morning... when I was crying over my broken bike at the very start of this trip!

On the beach
 

this here would be the right venue

Thomas

sounds good
 

build it and they will come ,i am shipping my bike to jo burg in early april ,how about mid april ,the weather should be still good then

Africa Bike Week 26.-30. April Margate KZN South Coast
 

Maybe it could be fun to do it same time as africabikeweek.com


we can chill at the spot and go once or twice to Margate for the big bash and gossip the Harley Riders and their life style ! One or two evenings over there can be quite some fun, big stage on the beach and some more over the beachfront !

How do you guys like that Idea. Not much effort to do if there are 3 guys its great if there are 30 even better !

Cool Bananas

Thomas

your on ,that sounds perfect ,count me in,i am going to be flying into jo burg just after easter which is late march ,then some some mucking about through lesotho and it's right where i was heading,that spot backpackers sounds great ,just ask grant and get cooking ,i helped organise a meet in oz a few years ago ,shouldnt be hard to get some helpers ,just need a projector and a small P.A system,and a room to do it in

Its on
 

Hi, I just phoned Glen, the owner from the Spot Backpackers. Its okay with him if we do the first South African HUBB meeting there.

Only thing is the 27th is a public holiday so its a long weekend and the place will fill up a bit. He has already 9 bookings for camping, the camp ground cant take much more. And 6 dorm beds are already booked as well.

So for everybody that is interested please book now !

I think we keep it simple, I can go with you guys on some nice gravel roads through the back of the south coast ! And we could do a day ride up to Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve !

Regards

Thomas

more room
 

you might find that once you set a date you may get more people than you think ,are there any more options in that area for camping
dave

more beds
 

If things get out of hand,

there is a caravan park close by (less than 1 km), and 5 other beds as well !

lets see who else is coming, at least its the 2 of us already !

Cheers

Thomas

Mini Meeting
 

I just mailed with Grant, and it looks like we will call it a mini meeting. To get it started. And then we will try do a proper HUBB meeting in November - early December(before) or (after the holiday season) middle of January to end of February ! Hopefully on the Transkei Wild Coast in Port St. Johns

Cheers

Thomas

:( we will arrive in South Africa somewhere around the 15th of May... maybe an extra mini-meeting somewhere? ;-)

Daan, send an email to the Communities too and see who's interested.
