2017 Patrol break away - member imputs

[Carel]

Sabie moet verkieslik nie in die wintermaande gedoen word nie want dan is dit 'n brand gevaar en baie moeilik om toestemming te kry. Die watervalle vloei dan ook nie meer so sterk nie.

Gents -- received this request and plea for help from a missionary in BOTSWANA. There does exist a 4x4 track in the OKWA river bed but it has gone in "filing" and transl;ation ..
Here is a GREAT opportunity to go make a NISSAN PATROL mark [maybe somebody can translate the request from "Lang Boesman"

Gesoek: Iemand wat Tracks For Africa kan werk - ons wil die Okwa Rivier Vallei - antieke rivier wat binneland toe vloei karteer - met yster pale en reflector tape elke 10 of 20 km en meer waar spoor deur veeposte verlore gaan. Ons wil by New Xanagas begin Ooste toe - tot by die Kang - Gantsi pad. Ons sal kamp plekke met water ook identifiseer. Dan stel ons die roete oop vir motor fiets ryers, 4x4 en 2x4 voertuie en selfs berg fiets ryers. Is dit jy? Kontak my dadelik asb.
Ons moet dit begin of einde Oktober doen - wanneer pas jou die beste. Later gaan jy bietjie warm kry - begin November kan ook werk. Dis logies dat ons kamp.

O K .. Back to us: Around APRIL will be good weather
For most of us the Oct / Nov call is a bit quick. [outoppie pensioner like me can maybe work it in .. ] I am sure you can dream it up.
It is SAND world .. Kgaudom like sand. Savuti like sand. and patches of clay [I'll mark it on GOOGLE EARTH, go have a look-see from tomorrow on] Trace the A 2 "Trans Kalahari route through Botswana till north of KANG .. then follow west ]
Oh .. and that is outside the Malaria Area.
Some years ago we found lion near BERE.

A typical Catlle Poast of the region - few and far between

My worth is to do the dunes in place of the river trip. Graham must just tell us where he got the 12v electric blankets from.
