For the first time since 2005 I decided to head north for the Worthogs Summer Beer Fest. Together with Rick and Niall we set out from PE at 5.15am on Friday the 17th April 2009 with a stop at Nanaga to pick up Peter at about 5.45am. After a pleasant (but long) drive we arrived in Johannesburg (where we were staying with Peters daughter and son) but it still it took us about 90 minutes to get to our destination (Joburg traffic at rush hour !). After having KFC for supper it was a relatively early night before an early start on Saturday as we needed to be in Pretoria by 7.30am. We did arrive at 7.30am and immediately started on our stand. Before we knew it the public started arriving and day passed very quickly. Below are some pics.

All in all a great day was had (despite the thought of the long drive home). More details of the festival can be accessed on the Worthogs website click here.
