Good day Team Sling.
Tankwa Tented Camp is a place where you can lose and find yourself at the same time. Halfway between Ceres and Calvinia in the Tankwa Karoo, you can find it along the R 355 which is a 207 km stretch and the longest uninterrupted dirt road in South Africa. Situated on Stonehenge Private Nature Reserve, the Tankwa Tented Camp is bordered on two sides by the Tankwa National Park, making it a wonderful base for exploring the indigenous fauna and flora, and everything else this fascinating biodiversity hotspot has to offer.
It is here you will find team Sling for the Sling Aircraft Fly Away Weekend, April 8th to 10th 2022!
It’s go‑time! Load up your gear, strap on your gravel shoes, and aim for the wide‑open Karoo horizon. The Tanqua Kuru is calling, and we’re answering with throttles, pedals, and hearts wide open. At least four Sling aircraft and our solid team of riders will make the pilgrimage to Tankwa Tented Camp for what’s become an annual tradition of grit, gravel, and greatness.
There’s still one title former Springbok Bob Skinstad hasn’t claimed… This isn’t a stadium victory. No crowds, no ceremony, no easy applause. This one is fought for. Across endless gravel, through the dust, under the relentless Tankwa sun. And he’s chasing it down on a Sling Cycles Tagati. So, the question is — when he rolls up to the start line… will you be there with him?
