This leaves me a bit confused . I had just finished reading your post from last night when it was removed. You stated swimming would be starting on sat 13 Feb. Entrance would be R20. We do not have to pay Cradle Moon any entrance, as well as other interesting facts about the state of affairs with court order, does this still apply or have things changed ?

on this topic of odd rules.... we stayed in the chalets towards the end of last year.

 

you are not allowed any alcohol in any of the chalets. so no sundowners allowed on the veranda, you have to go to the bar.

Dflip in your post on Wednesday that was removed you said we must not boycott Heia but rather go there and support you guys. I would like to go there this weekend but I'm not sure what to pay and how much ? In your edited post you said you would update ASAP please do so.

Afternoon guys 

 

Once again we just want to thank you all for your support and input. Hero Adventure was created to fill lives with fun, happiness and enjoyment, not to spend time on fighting with people that clearly have no interest in the sport and simply want to prove that money and ego supposedly rule.

 

Fortunately, we believe that the so called “little Guys” can win and the Love, Passion and Effort we have put into the Heia Safari Venue must count for something and we will not just leave and give it over to someone who clearly does not have the vision and passion for the sports we do

 

Hippo in Lake Heritage 

We put out a statement a few weeks ago and indicated very clearly the reasons for closing the dam. Since then the new management of Heia have posted on various forums that the Hippo are back at the mouth and nowhere near the main swim loop. This is all we requested from the beginning, but because they refused to work together we could not get the necessary info and closed the lake for our client’s safety. 

 

Now that we finally have the confirmation from Heia (via their social media forums) we are comfortable that it is safe to swim and paddle in the demarcated swim area. Added to this we have been working with Linden Lifesaving and they will also be deploying extra patrol lifesavers to assist.

 

As of 13 February the dam is open on the demarcated loop in Lake Heritage on a Saturday and Sunday between 8am-12pm ONLY. Please note that open water swimming is never risk free and there are still all the dangers and as such you swim at your own risk. We have taken the decision to open again after careful consultation with Linden Lifesaving and employing extra safety measures.

 

R30.00 charge at the New Gate just off Beyers

Without going into a long winded explanation. We have been forced to obtain a number of court orders against the current management of Heia Safari because of various actions they have tried to implement to evict us from the property. It must be noted that WE won all the orders and amongst a number of other conditions it specifically specifies 

 

“Allow the Applicants (Hero Adventure) immediate undisturbed access to and Possession of ………….. (all the trails are then mentioned and the portions of land they are on “ 

 

Then in another part of the High Court Order it Also States “The Respondents (Heia Management and others) May not Charge any Cyclists, Runners, Swimmers, Canoeists ……. Any fees for gaining access to the dam or Trails Erected by the Applicants (Hero Adventure) on the premises “

 

There are also various other conditions and points in Hero Adventure’s favor which there is no need to boar you with. The Fact is that they can not damage or alter our Trails, Charge any of Our Clients extra fees for using our trails and facilities and not hinder or restrict any access. Unfortunately the management of Heia choose to ignore such court orders.

 

The Latest charge at the “Cradle Moon Conservancy Gate” is in our opinion just another tactic in their book and look to breach the court orders. After Hero responded Immediately sending emails demanding that they cease charging our clients they responded saying that Heia Safari is not charging, it is Cradle Moon Conservancy charging. “The Conservancy” is aware of our lease agreement of which Heia Management have a legal right to advise them accordingly

 

So in short we are dealing with it and doing our best to sort the situation out asap 

 

With Immediate effect we as Hero have decided to reduce our Fee to R20.00 access, so that you our clients are not affected and having to pay more. We hope this helps the inconvenience. The R20.00 can be paid to a Hero Staff Member at the Gate or in Reception, or if no one from Hero is there please pay the money into the Honesty Box in Reception and NOT to ANY Heia staff member. Please note failure to make this payment to Hero, for sporting activities, will mean that entry will be denied to the venue for Sporting Activities.

 

Allot of People are very supportive and we can not thank you enough, with some going as far as to calling for a Boycott of Heia. We are asking that you our supporters not give into the various pressures and continue supporting us and joining us at this great venue. Whether you want to support Heia Safari and the Heia Management after your ride, walk or swim, by going to their restaurant or drinks shop, is your decision.

 

We sincerely apologize to all our clients and supporters for  all the inconvenience  . We are  committed to fighting for justice and hope you will stand with us .

Is it Possible to Post a Google map or something similar with the correct entrances to Use etc ?

Basically the new owner is saying "I know you won in court, but I'm going to make sure you never actually win on the ground, by doing everything I can to obstruct you".

 

And by skirting barely inside the law, he will keep this stuff going until he finally gets what he wants. Shame on him.

[NicNacDH]

And he is supposed to be a passionate cyclist?

I wonder what he would say if his favorite venue or cycling spot would be taken over in such a manner?

 

Well ...... Karma will get him, slowly, but surely.
