Baviaans - August 2004

 

We took lots of pictures on this trip - the main "organised" part was with the Radio Sonder Grense group.

 

In file 09 below Sylvia jumps from the Bloukrans River Bridge - This is no mean feat!

 

In file 10 a few pictures were taken on a trail that had partly washed away. There was a lot of drama there and there was too much focus on recovery to take pictures so a whole set is missing. The track was too narrow to get a vehicle in front to stabilise the other vehicle and there were no proper anchor points either. This trail was closed after we had completed it as it had become too dangerous. Hopefully it will be reopened when it has been repaired. There was a very real risk that we could loose a vehicle. It was dark by the time we managed to get off the trail and in the headlights it was very difficult to see whether puddles of water in the track were deep dongas capable of swallowing or tipping the vehicles or just minor splashes.
