We still have a few spots left on our 30s Coffee Dash on Sunday, 24 November.

We meet at "A Night at the Museum Guesthouse" in Honeydew. From there we hop aboard a 1930s Chevy Bus lovingly restored by Shawn Spaan. We trundle around the cradle on a round trip, stopping along the way with the bus as a prop and Shawn dressed in period-appropriate wear.

After this, we are treated to a tour around the guesthouse which is FILLED with gadgets and gizmos from the late 1800s to the mid 1900s!

Included in the package is a burger and chips lunch with coffee made in one of antique coffee makers (the coffee is fresh!).

Price R650 per person, please email us at [email protected] to book your space!

THE GREAT CHASE ADVENTURE

Price: R350 per person
Includes: Small packed lunch, information PDF with locations and tips and tricks.
** Participants will use their own vehicle in the chase. **

BOOK YOUR SPOT
This event is limited to 15 Participants. (14 spots available)
Date: 27 September 2024 (Optionally 28 September)

ABOUT THIS EVENT
We start the day bright and early at the ex-South African Railways steam sheds (Rovos Rail Complex) to get sunrise shots while the locos are being prepared by the crews. We also capture the locomotives moving out of the shed to station.

Once the train is in the platform picking up the passengers, we will make our way to our first spot along the mainline and move in a convoy (though you do not have to strictly follow us).

In preparation of Rovos Rail's Great Train Race, we chase the train from the Rovos Rail complex in Pretoria on its way to where it will stable overnight in preparation for the next day's race. This is a unique chance to photograph a steam train at designated points along the route.

Optionally, you can also join us bright and early the next day to capture the train before departing for Heidelberg and in and around Heidelberg.

** Please Note: This is NOT the same event as a Rovos Rail Experience, we are focusing on chasing the train, rather than climbing aboard **
