DC Route Update

[DavidB]

Latest news is as follows

1) The event WILL be taking place.

2) The road between Montague and Ashton is now open and we are monitoring the situation.

3) A final decision on whether to utilise the standby route or not will be made at 6pm this evening.

4) We have had to make drastiv chages to the start area as a result of the fields being water logged. The start will now take place in the road adjacent to the sports fields.

 

The situation is being monitored on the ground in both Swellendam and Montague/Ashton.

I'm worried about getting to Cape Town from Johannesburg. I've heard flights have been detoured ?

 

 

[DavidB]

Notice will be posted on this forum and our website. However teams will be advised on the Start line in the morning of the situation. We are doing our best under the circumstances to keep everyone as informed as we can but as you will appreciate our fate is in the hands of Mother Nature.

thanks david. swellendam is so klein, die besluit behoort baie vinnig deur die dorp te gaan.

 

 

 

David, bring genoeg rooi wyn saam, ek en Lem is vreeslik dors. Gister laas koffie gedrink.

 

 

 

Hoop nie daai sportsgronde waarvan jy praat is die skoolveld. Ons caravaan moet daar gepark word en ons wil daar nog braai ook.

 

 

 

BMC. Moet nie worrie oor die 6uur besluit. jy gaan more 200km + ry iewers op 'n teerpad, sorg net jy is betyds is in jou startpen.
