Head through the Hugenot Tunnel
Once you come out the tunnel – about 13kms on where the highway meets oncoming traffic – you turn right at the weight bridge towards Rawesonville
Rawsonville – maar sy vrou wil nie…ou grap…kak snaaks
6km on take the first right into Rawesonville (en sy vrou wil nog steeds nie…ok its getting old now)
Turn right at the first stop street (just passed the cop station – don’t look nervous)
Carry on down the main road of Rawesonville and carry on straight for 12kms
Then - just before the bridge on left (that would take you to Worcester)
Turn right towards Nekkies Conference Centre/WYC
Leka uphill
Carry on straight into the Worcester Yacht Club – sign in and pay your camping fees and crack open a cold one, light the fire, pitch your tent and clutch out
