Firstly my compliments, the following was a very nice press release
Take out camping gear and head to a National Park this Spring

But reading the following snippet, made me wonder a bit …


What you say about camping is 100%, and it almost sounds as if you know what you are talking about…but, to be brutally honest, to me you never came across as being the camping type?? (not a sin, I have many friends who hate camping ). So…I was wondering if Wanda has actually done the camping thing in a normal camp in a place like Kruger?? If not…here is a dare ….Wanda goes and camp (tent) in either Balule or Tsendze (no electricity ) for two nights….come back with photographic proof and a trip report of the camping experience….I will pledge to donate R500 to the VHR Anti-poaching fund (sure more people will do the same ).
If you do not have camping equipment, I’m sure there are more than enough people who will lend you some ….I’ve got a nice big tent …just not sure about its condition…haven’t opened it since we left Moz and there we had a bit of a mouse problem …put sure the few holes can be filled with something like balls of toilet paper.

You can count my R200 as well

Volunteering my services as photographer and impartial witness if wanda does it mid december. We'll be in Kruger then, in Olifants (near Balule)... So wanda: 15 & 16 december?

Moneywise I would put my money where my mouth is, but I need to talk to my accountant first. (Guinea Pig.)

Wanda, i can photoshop, so a tent, a camping place and a mugshot can be merged to look like the real thing

You can count on my contribution too, lets say R200

Jumbo !

And Bert, don't you start to muddle

Want pix of Wanda pitching her tent…making her braai fire…walking to the loo at night with her headlamp ….the whole story.

If Wanda does this in the heat of middle December, I will add another R50

Accountant agrees 100%!!!

Great idea, Jumbo.

Must help out one of my "bosses"

If paid i will pitch up the tent in the midday heat of December

Bert, you will get into trouble or with wanda or with the rest of us

Mid-December is a bit too much, I think Duques.

How about the Cricket weekend next year?

Wanda, its for a good cause.

Well, I think Wanda could be a true camper...but didn't she said at some stage that she is afraid of spiders and goggas?

I will be in this for R200 as well!

I bet wanda is going to knock everyone's socks off - R200 from me

R 200 from me as well!

I bet that too, DB. If the day breaks, she'll fix it.
Another R200.00 from me and an additional R100.00 if she manages to fit some birding into her busy camping schedule. (Unshopped photographic evidence required, Bert. )
