Stillwater Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Not just around the corner from King Shaka airport, ... ... of Durban, ... ... but quite some hours to drive from Forest Hills... ... and Hillcrest, where one of our forum members lives. On my tour the visibility became even more a challenge around Pietermaritzburg.... ... and the Sappi Pinewoods, ... ... so I cheated a bit to clear up the sky at the villages of Underberg (you can see the village under the Berg)... ... and Himeville. Both are good resting points for an early morning drive... ... uphill... ... along the famous Sani Pass Road. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sani_Pass The Drakensberg mountains climb up to 3500 m / 11400 ft. Sani Pass to Lesotho, with a little settlement (and the aforementioned highest pub) on top. https://toseethe.world/reviews/highest-pub-in-africa-sani-mountain-lodge/ For today, we turn back over Wagendrift nature Reserve... ... to Ladysmith, ready for the next leg. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 What they call a dry run Gerold with no refreshments at the pub. Some excellent scenery in your set especially the Drakensberg Mountains. I have lost count the number of times I have had to "cheat" with the weather! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerribleT Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Another lovely set - I really love the variety of RW African weather in the sim and the many different cloud formations it engenders with a good weather/texture program. That pub definitely requires an expert eggbeater operator! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have nothing to moan about with my setup. And... good suggestion to visit the pub with unfixed wings... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
