Rattrace 2011

The 2011 Rattrace is on the weekend of 23/24 September.  A great weekend for young and old, 32km ride from Isandlwana to Fugitives' Drift.  Some take it seriously but the majority just have fun.  Bring your family and come and ride to help us raise money for The David Rattray Foundation.  Rumour has it that Nicky maybe riding this year! Yes, that is true I am, you will need no more entertainment than watching me labouring up the hills!  I am calling for volunteers to ride with me, my very own pelaton! (a few secret pushes up the hill will be very welcome indeed, but do not tell Chris Harvie the finemaster)

FAIRVIEW AND NATURES VALLEY

visit our website http://www.fugitivesdrift.com/ and follow the links to Fairview and Natures Valley for accommodation options when visiting the Garden Route.  Fairview is situated in the hamlet of The Crags, a beautiful Cape Dutch Manor House with splendid views over the Outeniqua Mountains and Natures Valley a luxurious beach cottage, ideal for all ages, from those looking for a bucket and spade holiday to those who just want to walk on an unspoiled quiet beach.

It nearly rained last night!

We may sound obsessed with rain, that's because we are!  After a great rainy start to the year, the tap has been turned off.  Last night there was much thunder and lightening and we eagerly anticipated some rain - it sounded and looked so promising - 5 minutes of heavy downpour was all we got!  To sustain the game through winter, we need good summer rains otherwise the quality of the grazing is severley compromised.

Repeat Guests

It is so reassuring when guests come back again again, we must be doing something right!  A couple of weeks ago one of our guests was on, we think her 15th visit (neither of us could remember exactly how many times she has been here, Lynn has been coming here for 20 years!)and her sister on her 4th - at the same time we had the pleasure to once again host the 'Raucous Drifters':  Colin, Neil and Mark on their 9th visit - the amount of gin they have consumed on 9 visits here, would more than likely fill the swimming pool!
Thanks to you all for your incredible support
