I spoke to Anton Bodenstein - he says you'll be OK - but you'll need to deflate, like a North American, and go slow....

Hendri - I was saying he would only need to 'Air Down' a little - like the North Americans do.

Thank you Manny
I'll attempt without airing down
I'll off hook the A frame from Tiny at the gravel road and if need be, use Tiny to tow the Autovilla...

Guys I was reviewing the venue and going back to the OP Manny mentions it is between Middleburg and Dullstroom.
This is so if you want a long tour through the backroads from Belfast.
Although the co ords are given, the venue is off the R555 Middleburg Stofberg road and the turn off is roughly 40 km out of Middleburg.
Don't travel to Belfast and onto the Dullstroom road. Long way round that is.
Just saying....

For me from South JHB its 1.5hrs to Middleburg unfortunately one has to go through Middleburg so plus 15 mins then 25 mins to the turn off. Add 30 mins to airdowndeflatemaketyressofter and get to the venue.
If you stop for a break bank on max 3 hrs.
