This is a reminder about our outing to Bush Hill Stud Farm on 26 April 2008. We are going to make our way there individually, meeting at around 7am, whereafter we will shoot whatever there is to shoot and have breakfast. The owners of the stud will provide breakfast and we will be expected to contribute to the cost.
*** WE NEED TO HAVE PRIOR NOTICE OF NUMBERS SO YOU MUST RSVP BY 20 APRIL IF YOU ARE GOING TO COME. THIS APPLIES EVEN TO PEOPLE WHO THINK IT DOESN'T APPLY TO THEM. ****
The directions from Ondine are as follows:
Take the N3 from Durban heading north to Jhb.
Pass Pietermaritzburg.
Pass Howick
Pass Nottingham Road
Take the 1st Mooi River off-ramp through toll (R19.00)
Once through the toll turn left - you will find yourself at a T-junction looking at Engen Garage/Wimpy.
At this T-Junction turn right towards Mooi River.
Cross over the Mooi River, you will pass two garages - i.e. Caltex on left and Engen on right. At traffic circle turn left. If you follow the Giants Castle / Summerhill Stud signs you will head in the right direction, but the detailed account of where to go is thus : After you have turned left at the traffic circle do the following :
At the next stop street with Pep Stores in front of you, turn right and follow this road up and over the railway line. Road curves sharply to left and at this stage you will have Standard Bank on your right.
At the next stop street turn right onto the Giants Castle Road. This will take you past the Argyle Hotel on your left and you will climb a long hill out of Mooi River. Continue for approx 2km until you come to a left turn - Hlatikulu Road.
Turn left at this Hlatikulu Road (very important otherwise you will head off to Giants Castle). Continue on the Hlatikulu Road for approx 7 km until the road changes to dirt (ignore the left turn to Connington). Once on the dirt you will travel a further 300m's and Bush Hill Stud is the first farm entrance on your right. Bush Hill Stud is approx 10k's from the traffic circle - if you go much further, stop, as you have missed a turn!
