Thank you for all the wonderful pics

Thank you MM that should whet the appetite.

I want to make contact with the organisers but the link doesn't work ...

Ndloti, maybe send Imberbe a PM.

Sure he will be able to help, if not then do shout.

And the count down begins for all our great forumites who will be joining us at SRBC.
Graeme I hope you are bringing along a nice Beeeeeeeeg birthday cake for Nicky.

Now its just around the corner 9 more sleeps yipeeeeeeeee

I am sooooo excited.

My first ever trip was in May and I just want to warn my fellow meanderers to take lots of warm clothes for the early morning and sundowner trips. It can be utterly freezing if you are not adequately dressed.

I will be taking, in addition to a warm jacket, jersey.. gloves, beanie, scarf, woolen cap, second pair of socks. Rather take lots of layers off than need to be thawed out on arrival.

Yip, only a few more sleeps......

I have e-mailed Duncan, but we are wondering if we
should rather give him a call?

@ Mellory : Good idea, but we will be past Nelspruit on the 15th before 07H00,
please pm if you or any of the other mites have any suggestions.

Thanks for the warning MM, we don't want any frozen mice around

Hope my feather duvet & sleeping bag & another blanket will be enough to stay warm at night! Any suggestions of what else to take?

This is so exciting, it sounds like we are in for an amazing time!

Click click, I am so happy to see your name on the list

Click click it sounds good and warm and comfy. I never found the actual sleeping too bad. It was more riding in the open vehicle in the early morning. There can be a fairly long drive and we would usually leave before sunset, the coldest time of the day.

One year one of the participants had such severe blisters that she could hardly walk. I felt very sorry for her. Make sure that your shoes are well worn in. Another thing is lip-ice.

Gentle reminder.. Amarula for the chef

Thanks for the tips MM!

And the gentle reminder

Thank you for the amarula reminder there Wendy and yes early start can be really cold but bear in mind that you must be able to "strip" as the day warms up on the walk. HR's currently at camp say the days are really nice and hot at the moment.

I hope all you Mites have a fantastic time going to SRBC!!!!
Please bring back many photos and stories

Thanks Cheetah

It's been a long time and it remains my most meaningful Kruger place.

Awesome!!
Then perhaps I can take you up on that Sunday lunch open invite? 26May! Then I can hear all your tales
