If you want to be SURE of good flying weather there are a few places you
can go. If you have a family who also want a holiday, few can compare
with the cost, scenery, and family options available in South Africa.

You can go to commercial operations like Soaring-Safaris in
Bloemfontein, or the more hard core Gariep Dam aviation at Gariep.
There are also options at a couple of the larger clubs that are a lot
more affordable. These clubs have international members who come here
for the flying.

Look at www.SSSA.org.za for more information.

Choose your poison, but it may spoil UK soaring for you forever. Sunday
was good for 4:20 - in mid-winter. Oh, and I was flying with a short
sleeve cotton shirt.
