A closer view during a wave flight.
Looking into Stetyn's kloof. During winter we get aero towed onto this northern face. On a good day wave bars are set up in phase with the ridge and it is possible to climb into the TMA. In most cases the height gained is about 6000' AGL, fly forward to Badsberg and expect to be rather low and hope to connect with a wave bar before entering the Slanghoek Valley. Slanghoek is almost guaranteed to deliver wave, you just got to find it.

Flight from Worcester Airfield to Audenberg, Keeromberg can be seen in the distance. This is a typical route for aero tow during summer.

High in the Keeromberg Returning from Robertson.

Above the bowl on the eastern side of the spur. Robertson can be seen in the distance with Robertson airfield to the left of it.

The Witzenberg Mountains with Wolsley in the foreground.

The Northern end of the Witzenberg range taken from Tulbagh. Saron is on the left hand side.

Saron is on the RHS crossing the gap onto the south side of the Porterville ridge "Voorberg"

Flying north along the Voorberg with Dasklip Pass ahead. this picture has a special meaning to me, I took it the first time I managed to get onto the ridge. We normally fly below the ridge where the maximum energy is.

The end of the Porterville ridge to the North, time for me to return. you can continue towards Niewoudville but that is a very difficult flight.

142 km from Worcester.

This is Kanetberg where the Windtalker is installed.

This is the famous Paragliding Site owned by Rob Manzoni a Sailplane Pilot.

Also know as Mostert's Hoek, on the Right hand side the end of the Waaihoek range can be seen. On the left hand side the begriming of the Witzenberg can be seen.

This is a wave flight, currently to the west of Rawsonville Notice the glider below searching for the wave bar before jumping forward into the Slanghoek Valley.

Flying above the Slanghoek Valley with the steep cliffs of the Slanghoek mountains providing ideal wave conditions in winter. The approaching cold front can be seen on the other side of the mountain range towards Paarl.

This is a summer ridge flight from worcester to the south side of Victoria Peak then towards Villiersdorp.

Returning from Swellendam heading for Ashton.

This is about 20 Km east of Swellendam, notice the glider and it's height and position on the ridge for optimum speed. I was flying at vne at cloud base to scared to open my airbrake's when the cloud suck pulled me into the clouds :)

Flying with Peter Farrell

About 50 km east of Swellendam flying above Peter Farrell.

215 km out from Worcester, the ridge gets lower
with a front ridge and landing options are very limited. This is where I say good bye to Alan and Sven and return to Worcester.
