.....Foraging, Ferreting and F-stopping in the KTP !!!!

For the Few Forumites that do not know the Fable…

After Dreamer’s plans to visit the KTP with her Fledgling First born Flopped she was Frantic to find a Friend who was able to Flee to the park with her. The Four Figure Numbers that she had paid for the Forthcoming Foray could not be Frittered away ...
No Force was needed in Fulfilling that Formality…..Dreamer soon Fathomed out who would Facilitate her in her search for Foxes, Flycatchers, Falcons and Felines…none other than the Forum’s Furtive Caracal……

One Fertile Fonecall later….her Faux Pas was Flawlessly Fixed, Formulated and Finalised…Dreamer and Caracal are Flitting off to the KTP on the 29th March.

Now why all the F- words you ask ??? Well we decided that F-words are very expressive and could add some Fun to our Final Fictional Forum writings. After all we could be the Fantastic, Fabulous, Fun–loving, Flamboyant, Faultless, Fortunate Females….

But now we would really like to add some more Fun to this Foray to KTP
We are hoping that some Forumites will Formulate some Feats for us…..

To give you all some idea we are going to Formulate the First Feat ourselves.

We ( the 2 Footloose and Fancy-Free Female Forumites) pledge to donate 1 x Fifty Rand note to any SANParks Conservation Project if we manage to Find 3 different Felines on the same day !!!

So come along Fellow Forumites please Forage deep down into your thought Facilities and Formulate a Feat or two for us

I might even pick up an F** (fat) Armoured Cricket with my bare hands if it means that some Forumite will donate a Fifty Rand Note to SANParks….

Dreamer has pledged a Fifty Rand note if I do not Flee with Fright when I have to share my sleeping quarters with a Cape Serotine Bat …and I have pledged a further Fifty Rand note if Dreamer manages to get a photo of a rock monitor before she Faints.

So come on Forumites ..how about it ????
Every little Fifty, half Fifty or Four Fifty Rand notes will all help towards conserving nature in the Parks.

Yours Faithfully
Dreamer and Caracal

Fifty for fornicating "Felis Lybica"
P.S, You gotta find out what that is first.

Caracal & Dreamer,

wishing you an amazing trip with lot's of fun and wonderful sightings.

I am curious to know how high the grass will be now between Nossob to Grootkolk and whether in the Auob river the grass started to grow.

Nossob was good in case of lions and snakes to us - watch out for your caracal between Marie se draai and Kaspersdraai - It was a he Grootkolk it just pure heaven.

KK was great to us on our last full 2 days in case of spotted ones. In case you stay in KK in No. 2 read my entry in your sighting book

I am afraid that those bats are resident in the chalets in TR

Just enjoy every minute

Thank you Micetta and Ingrid60
Pjw - Will do
Baby Nel - Can't we just find a Wild Cat
Pumbaa- Will keep a look out at all your favoutite spots mentioned. If not in No2 at KK will ask attendant fo fetch book for us to read
Mashona- will be great to get some news from your friends.... P.S. Yes, Do Be careful, don't want you thrown off

You said it, 50 it is! or a millipede (easy). Sleep with a bat over your bed, another 50!

Wow thanks everybody ....now we are really in a Full -scale Flurry !!!

@ BabyNel I'm Flabbergasted !!! That is a really difficult one !!

@Pjw..that Feat could be Fruitful

@ Micetta..... armoured crickets and bats....oh well I will just have to put on a brave Facade and Face up to the Feats !!!!

@ Wirlwind....good job you Forewarned us about the Four Footed bit...otherwise we might have Fooled you !!!!
