How can you begin to describe the sheer beauty of this Breath-taking break-away trip. First & foremost, thank you to Sandra for the planning, Preparation & Organisation. We truly would not have fitted so much in, in this short space of time.

What an incredible weekend we had at Onrus Camping Site in Hermanus! Just 100 km from Cape Town, this beautiful coastal spot once again set the scene for an unforgettable Laager 15 getaway.

The new year has greeted us with some lovely weather after the rains and we are all geared up for a fantastic year of camping with our Laager families.

For our first outspan of 2025 we agreed to visit Berg River and stay at site E if available. Site E was available and Alex and Colleen, Alan and Meryl and the Browns were in attendance for the planned weekend 25 to 27 January

The first weekend of a brand-new year and everyone is excited to camp at one of our favourite “close to home” camping park

Friday was a beautiful summers day, with temperatures being quite high. Although the water was freezing, almost everyone went in the water to cool down. 

This past weekend, Laager 7 visited Fynbos Guest Farm in Wolseley for their final camping outspan of the year.

De Hollandsche Molen is one of our favourite campsites because it is relatively close by, it’s safe, especially for the children, and the quaint town of Franschhoek, with its interesting shops and restaurants, is only 10 minutes away.

Considering the time of year the outing was well attended. The outing was attended by the Powells, Ramsays, Bezuidenhout, the Waters, and Wittstock As and Bs.

Friday finally arrived with families setting out from their homes heading for Klein Eike campsite in Greyton.

Well it's many many years since any Trekkers gathering took place at Aasvoelkrans, so it was a new place for some.

Brenda and Mac and friends arrived on Monday. Other pensioner vans arrived Thursday and set up in beautiful weather. The campers enjoyed the day and braaied later the evening.

Wednesday 6 caravans /tent setup camp in about 35 degrees. All went well and the afternoon was spent sitting around relaxing and chatting. The evening, we had a braai in perfect weather

Pensioner vans arrived Thursday and set up in beautiful weather. The evening was a braai or made a pot and to bed early

Dave and I arrived mid Friday afternoon after having driven through some quite heavy rain. Allen and Meryl had arrived the previous day and were already set up, but out for the day.
