But, if it's someone else, we can just sort it out cash when we get there.
Bring R300 cash along.
I am paying them the Trail Fee cash too.

There was a veld fire at Ribbokkloof.
Veld was burnt but the camp area is OK.
This was yesterday, it should be a lot better by Thursday.

Here us a pic of the camp area, the building on the Left is the Ablution and the one on the Right the Lapa.
It looks OK to me.

Please note the lack of shade though...

You have 24 hours to go 'Off Grid'...

The second battery is installed in the caravan and the solar panels are packed so we should be sorted.
Thanks for the latest update Manny.

A generator may drown out the moaning about how many traffic lights Middleburg has, or the burnt veld or the lack of 220v plug points.

So please bring it.

I'm assuming its diesel?
