August's Workparty
Even though it was a chance to get away for a long weekend
only 12 brave MV packed their winter woolies for this month's work party.
On Friday 68km's of road was covered and the bridges and culvert cleared along the way - phew it was hard work....
On Saturday we cleaned the boma up after the lions. After picking up 5 or 6 wheelbarrows, we are now all experts on lion poo!! The bones left over from their meals were put under a tree where Wayne set up his camera, hoping it will attract some interesting animals - hold thumbs!!
That evening we all sat around a nice big Makanyane fire. Watching the stars through Graham telescope was enjoyed by all including 2 HO's who joined us for the braai.
The wind started to blow in the early hours of Sunday morning bring the cold front with brrrrrr.

Pilansberg was
freezing cold, minus 4 in the the morning. We thought the water pump on our
caravan had packed up as no water was coming out. After about half an hour we
tried again and as the water hit the bottom of the glass it froze!!. At about
8.00 we emptied some water out onto the ground and it also froze . So very chilly
starts to the day. Otherwise it was nice. The park was very full . There was a
sighting of 3 cheetahs at a kill , but you couldn't get near it with all the
cars and not-so-thoughtful people driving into the bush to try and see what was
going on.
See you next month!
Tom & Margaret
