Once flew hang gliders before I had the cash for a comm - watched a buddy put his glider down halfway up that mountain outside Citrusdal. Took me four hours to hike up there to go see if he is ok - after I landed down at bottom. In the mean time the bugger had walked down so I ended up stuck halfway up at dusk. Last damn time I try and rescue someone. Wish there were rescue choppers around for us locals who dont stay at a lodge and might not pay the R 7000 bill when we dont make it back!!!
