Ons het 14 December weer terug gekeer van twee maande in ons pragtige Wildtuin. Wat n' vooreg om dit te kan doen!. Ons het weer baia nuwe vriende gemaak en weer baie ou vriende ontmoet. Wat n' wonderlike tyd!

Ek will net graag meedeel wat ons die trip geleer het.

1) Die Gelmar op vou baare emers is rubish. Hulle skeur op die voue bine 10 opvou slae.

2) Die inskroef penne van Oztrail, beskikbaar by Kamplife en op loot.co.za is wonderlik. Ons het springs op die hoof skroewe gesit en dit vat all die moete van pen inslaan weg. Hulle skroef maklik in die hardste grond in. Gaan maklik deur wortels en sagte of klein klipies. In los sand glo ek nie hulle sal werk nie. Skroef hulle net in met die battery boor wat ook vir die hoek stutte gebruik word. Ek het R280 betaal deur loot.

3) Sit maar n' ketangtjie op jou Hansen Geyser se cover. Myne was nie by Tsendze goed terug gesit nie en is verloor.

Ek hoop dit help.

Ons gaan weer begin Februarie tot 16 Maart Wildtuin toe.

Geniet die kamp!

Moenie my so jaloers maak nie. Wil baie graag weer daar uitkom , maar die petrol en afstand hou my nog terug. As ek hoor mense kamp in Thendze wil ek sommer huil. Maurits

I made my own screw-in pegs from 10X200 Coach Screws, 10mm Fender Washers, Carabiner and short piece of shock cord (Bungee Cord). Cost of about R 20.00 ea.

And for the ground sheet I used 6X100 Coach Screws & 6X30 Fender Washers.

Now I must save up to go on our next trip. Probably Blouberg in Limpopo only in April for about 4 nights.

Dankie vir die Info  So leer ons elke dag iets

Hi John. For the R280 you get 15 8x250mm screw in pegs with plastic hooks at the top. The drill insert that fits on the head of the screw and a plastic box that it all goes into. I have storm pegs with springs and carabiner's which I then just use on the coach screw pegs.

I use 4 inch nails and washers for the ground sheets.

Blouberg is a wonderful quiet nature reserve. Ask one of the rangers to show you where the Rüppells Vulture nest is. They always nest in the same place and sometimes sit on the Eskom pilons near the gate.

Hi Paul

Where did you buy your set for R280? I also need one.

That's a good price Paul, too late for me now. I also used 4" nails & washers for the ground sheet but just decided to go a bit fancy with the coach bolts. Also using a couple of 6mm ones for the step into the van.

We were at Blouberg in May but didn't see the vultures nest, but did see alot of them from the top of the mountain. Will certainly ask the ranger. Thanks.

Dankie so leer ons bymekaar

Is jy terug by die huis.....

Hi Jin. Ja en besig met renovations. Ons is weer 14 Jan uit huisig sonder die woonwa. Februarie gaan ons weer Wildtuin toe tot mid Maart..

Gister n' paar kamp stoele by Decathlon in Centurion gekoop. Ons soek al lankal na hierdie tiepe stoele maar kon dit nêrens kry nie. Die stoel se middle is van gaas gemaak. Dus is hulle heelwat koeler in die laeveld se hitte. Hulle is ook baia gemaklik. Ongelukig het hulle nie dink holders nie.

Ons het gister ons "Long Stay" in die Wildtuin bespreek. Ons vertrek 6 Februarie en dan kom ons weer terug op 21 Maart. Hierdie keer begin ons in die suide by Berg en Dal en eindig by Punda Maria en dan Nthakeni in die noorde.

Julle moet dit geniet.  Voor waar 'n lekker trip om na uit te sien.
