So here's the plan. Some people are going up on Friday after work, others (like me) on Saturday afternoon. If the weather is good, meet on the Paternoster beach at 5.30pm Sat afternoon for a paddle. For dinner that evening we have booked The Noisy Oyster restaurant.
Sunday morning we will all meet up again (venue to be decided at dinner) for that days paddle.
Everyone is to make their own accommodation arrangements according to preference. For those wishing to camp there is the Cape Columbine site - Tieties Bay Caravan Park 022 752 2718. We're having trouble getting through on this number but the word is that you don't book anyway, just turn up.
For B&B, self catering etc try

Not that I could get thru to the Municipal Manager at the Cape Columbine Nature Reserve via phone, but his website http://www.saldanhabay.co.za/tourism/resorts/tietiesbaai.htm suggests that it's out of season / no reservation required and costs R78 per unit, which can accomodate max 6 people each.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on going on Friday if the doctor gives me the ok (sanity check), if you arrive late, I always found the gate open at Cape Columbine Nature Reserve.
Anyone wants to join camping down at Tietiesbaai? Lekker braai on Friday?

Hi Silke
ReplyDeleteDerek and I chatted today about this. I spoke to Werner Dekker who takes the bookings at Tietiesbaai this morning. I thought that it would be nice if we were all together at TietiesBaai. He tells me that we could block book a minimum of 10 sites. So we would need 10 people (or 10 couples etc) to pre book. Same rate - R78.00. Last year we went at much the same time as now and the place was packed. Thankfully Kazkazi (Leon) had pre booked the sites. It was really lekker to be on adjacent sites.We lit a big central fire and a good time was had by all.Or we could just take a chance and get up there on the Friday evening and hope that we can get some adjacent sites.
Derek will post the info on the blog over the Weekend and see what the number look like.
So far - Derek and Margaret, Paul W,Basil,Sike, Mark Webb - that's 5.
Shall we see what the numbers look like by Monday?
Ja See you for Friday Evening
