Unofficial outing - May 2007

Just a note about an interesting photo opportunity coming up this weekend in our area. The Zulu rally hurtles through Inanda on Saturday morning, May 26, and I, for one, intend to be there. The first car is due through the spectator points at 09H20.

Full details are available at http://www.rallysouthafrica.com/ but I have downloaded the spectator guide and have included the details of how to get to Spectator Points A & B. I hope this means I will be able to find them ;-)

I suggest we meet at Point A initially.
