Friday, 29th Both Colleen and Cheryl want to see a cheetah but quite honestly one can see them on any of the eastern grassland roads. For variation we chose to go south today along the S28 gravel road leading to…
Today is the start of a series of hot days that are forecast to extend into next week. So we are out of the gates at 4.30am into the cool, crisp air with a bright cloudless sky. We are tackling…
Today is our last day of respite from the summer heat as high temperatures are forecast for the next six days. Cheryl has established herself as the team sharpshooter and is placed in pole position in the front passenger seat.…
