Via Southgate: The ZS SOTA, ZSFF and Heritage Spring Day

The ZS SOTA, ZSFF and Heritage Spring Day will be on Saturday 24 September (National Braai Day and Heritage Day).

If you cannot get to a summit or there are no summits in your vicinity, why not activate a park or a heritage site? For those planning on activating a summit, a park or a heritage site, it is time to start looking at which summit, park or heritage site you are going to activate and your planned activation times, please post your planned activation on the WhatsApp SOTA/POTA group so that chasers will be aware of your activation.

This is fun day out in nature and not a competition, each participant will receive a Spring Day certificate whether you activated or chased those summits, parks or heritage sites. For activators, it is fun to see if you can make summit-to-summit (S2S) or park-to-park or heritage-to-heritage or a combination of contacts with other activators and how many chasers you can get in your log.

If you are not on the SOTA/POTA Alert & Spots WhatsApp group and wish to be added please send a WhatsApp message to Sid, ZS5AYC on mobile 082 461 3279.

First time activators, if you need assistance or advice please do not hesitate to ask. Please join the fun of activating a summit, a park and/or a heritage site or chasing those who venture out.

Contact Dennis, ZS4BS at zs4bs@netactive.co.za for the newest list of ZSFF parks and Tjaart, ZS3DR for the Heritage sites.
