Let me ask that again. Why are there two threads for the same event? It’s stupid.
Then rather than making derogatory statements, contact an Admin or Moderator and suggest an change...

The ONLY reason I have an E-Tag
The e-Tag guys get just as held up as the rest of us.
Sometimes the e-Tag lane is on the left, other times it's not.

The whole Toll gate set-up is a complete stuff up

Got you good didn’t I Image.

In all fairness, the stupidity was “not posting pics on the official thread”, that other section where he did post should IMHO be reserved for adhoc events that guys go on where there was no thread.

Or on second thought, is an events “photo” thread maybe not needed anymore?

What’s your suggestion Madman?

... here are some website links and a few pictures I took on the Blouberg Weekend arranged by Andreas... very enjoyable and well organized many thanks.

Here is a link to the Blouberg Website which has details of the reserve:

https://www.bloubergreserve.co.za/

and another promotional website:

https://www.places.co.za/accommodation/ ... serve.html

and some of the other guys photos:

viewtopic.php?t=675

My animal and vehicle shots (esp from the Buffalo Hide ) cannot compare with the other guys ones so I only have a few abstract images ..

There were two vehicles at the office ... a Jap one for the game guard and then the Commander in Chief Rangers personal issue.

Many years ago I formed an Honourable Order of the Black Kettle and I take a record at each campsite ...

One way to avoid the Polokwane congestion is to not go there at all but to return more directly overlanding SSE from Blouberg to Makopane like I did ...
Polikwane is for losers ...

I found this mysterious inch tape measure in the camp of Andreas and Manny ... could the noisy ones be carefully recording each others girth ?

Manny measured this tree below and it came out at 21m circumference ...
