GPS Breakfast Run - November 2009 By Greg The wind was blowing up dust as we worked our way towards Riebeeck West. A road sign at a junction was a perfect place to stick the coordinates for the next leg of the adventure. The next morning 20+ vehicles would be trusting my coordinates so we double check each one. Sunday morning dawned and after entering the first coordinate I pushed the "send" key and I imagined the twenty vehicles pulling out if their driveways and starting the search. The first coordinate was located near the undulating wheat fields outside Durbanville. The farmers were busy in the fields driving up and down harvesting and baling as the first vehicle arrived. Jump out and hunt around for the sticker showing the next coordinate. Bushes scratching legs and finally "Yes! here it is!", shout the coordinate to the Landy and enter it onto the GPS. Double check that it is correct and then move onto the next one. Breakfast time is approaching and I need coffee! Ok I have found the next coordinate and slowly we find one and then another. We have no idea where the destination is, only that it is a "breakfast run" and hopefully we will find it before lunch or dinner. The radio crackles and a voice I do not recognize announces that "we have found the coordinate!" Well done I think to myself as I follow more farm roads leading north. We finally find what turns out to be our last coordinate and we turn east onto a tar road heading into Riebeeck West. The GPS voice states "arriving at destination on left" and I watch the display count down the last few hundred meters. I see a few 4x4's parked next to the road and realize we have conquered our first GPS challenge. I find some shade and cross the road to "Die Oude Schuur", a quaint shop/restaurant with paraphernalia to sell. The tables are set downstairs and we tuck into a hearty breakfast. Thanks to the people who joined us. To the five who never made it, well one of you told me on the previous day that you do not need maps on your GPS, that you were a navigator in the airforce, that you never get lost. I guess you need maps on your GPS.
