Monday morning dawned clear and calm so Jeff and I headed out to the Himeville airfield armed with the video camera to try to film the starting point of the canoe race on the Umzumkulu. We took off and headed up over the Sani Pass hotel then 
turned left parallel to the Drakensberg and flew over Cobham camp site. The air was so still we headed towards the Bushman's Nek area and landed on a new farm strip out that way.

On the way back we headed up the valley to the bridge where the race starts and got some good aerials. Back at the farm I edited those shots onto the start of the material I'd filmed the day before and now the race organisers have a nice aerial tracking video of the river.
See the videos here.
(Update: the video has been removed because it was reported by somebody as being inappropriate and misleading and I had my youtube account suspended for 6 months. I was furious about the incident and appealed against the decision stating that it was no more inappropriate than some of the junk one finds on youtube. I explained the reason for the video i.e.as a guide for canoeists but added that it was very old and no onger needed and if they really felt like it they could delete it. I complained that I had not been given any chance for an explanation and was treated like a naughty child. Youtube reinstated my account but I was unable to upload videos for 6 months.
Shame on you youtube.com
