No Niel, they dont have flowers. The blommetjies are allover the namakwaland, but Tankwa promises to be exceptionaly pretty this year. Are you back from die holliedais? Welkom terug...

[Niel]

Ja dankie, ek het gisteraand so 17:30 hier aangekom in nou nou weer oppad Langebaan toe vir 2 dae dan terug vir n verpligte verpligting. Afhangend wat die ou se is ek reg vir n bietjie dune boarding (AD) in die week en miskien blomme kyk die naweek .......

Hope the flowers last awhile, I'll be heading that way On 27th August; thought of starting at Springbok then moving South - any suggestions?

[Niel]

Harold, I will report back on what I have found out. I will most probably do Tankwa and slightly north of that.
I am hoping Swifty can let me know what is happening in and artound Tankwa

Niel,

Tankwa flowers are a bit late this year. Being part of the Succulent Karoo, the main event is the Vygies, which is spectacular as it covers everywhere, from the low lying areas to the crests of the mountains. The daisies are good in patches, you have to know where to look for them and to really appreciate the veld you have to get out of your vehicle and get walking.
The Vygies will be in full bloom next month.

Niel - we're doing a breakfast run on the 30th, the WesKos not Tankwa.

The WesKos Flowers are early this year (apparantly), the display on the Vredehoek side of Table Mountain aren't too shabby either mos
